it would be cool if some members of the mainstream media cared as much about this administration lying about who's running the agency dismantling the federal government as they do about the former president’s age

If you’re spending one fucking second wringing your hands about Joe Biden’s age while a new set of arsonists are burning the entire nation down, please go touch all the grass

At least 27 are dead in Missouri in Kentucky after severe weather alerts were delayed overnight because of DOGE cuts. www.mesoscalenews.com/p/tornado-wa...

The appropriate answer to this is "Who gives a single fucking shit? He was better as a dead guy than the people installing the Plane Crashing Machines and disappearing people off the street so they can cash in on military contracts while firing veterans." It's possible to not take the bait, I swear!

Wonder if Kash Patel is going to investigate this threat

Can you imagine if Biden had talked about groceries in this way? Yet Ol' Mashed Potatoes Brain here continues to get a pass from the media.

so the members of congress just stopped going to el salvador and not a single person who was illegally sent there has been returned and that’s just how it is now?

Tell 'em Boss.

Tonight, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band opened their Land of Hope & Dreams Tour. Bruce launched this run of shows with three statements about the situation in the United States, with comments preceding his songs Land of Hope and Dreams, House of a Thousand Guitars and My City of Ruins.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

If Trump can take a $400 million foreign bribe, what’s next? A new multibillion-dollar palace to replace the White House that he gets when he leaves office? The scale of illegal corruption is disgusting and the lack of enforcement a reminder we’re being held hostage by a lawless regime.

“The Post Office loses money” yeah so does the Fire Department, shut the fuck up

Welcome to the liquidation of American dominance in science

This constant sense of doom is shortening my life. I can feel it. And this was the plan all along. Russell Vought said the goal was to “traumatize” public workers but it was never gonna be limited to them.

The Trump budget in one chart: Cut programs that help families and make America a leader of the world, pour money into kidnapping grad students and deporting toddlers.

oh yes the same people who acted like they were being murdered when they had to put a piece of cloth over their faces definitely understand the concept of shared sacrifice

The Worst Person You Know Just Made Some Great Points

we'll all remember that as Pritzker is taking a stand, Whitmer is kissing the ring.

The man at left separated the mother and baby at right. The mother is now in Venezuela. Baby daughter, in foster care in the US, exact location unknown. Dad? He's in CECOT prison without trial — because he had tattoos.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

To every elected leader in this country: be more like @govpritzker.illinois.gov.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

We’re in the bad place

I’m not.

I hope it works better than his rockets.

There's been a LOT going on, but the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case really deserves all of our attention. Some thoughts at CAMPAIGN TRAILS: campaign-trails.ghost.io/homegrown-cr...

I don't really have anything especially profound to say, but yeah man this is it. They won't obey even the most milquetoast SCOTUS orders and are talking about sending US citizens to foreign gulags. It's happened here.

the basic problem facing american democracy is that one party has decided it wants a king and will hand over as much authority as is necessary to make that happen

The degree to which people romanticize farming is inversely proportional to their degree of actual proximity to farming and farmers This is basically a mathematical law

Hi, this guy: fucking idiot. Matty Y: fucking idiot. David French: Fucking idiot. Ezra Klein: Fucking idiot. Every equivocating rhetorical gymnast undergrad-proud of their only right man in the world substack or podcast: Fucking idiots. None of this was hard. Fucking. Idiots.

My great grandmother had to leave school at 13 to work in a shoe factory. She had no control over her body. Her granddaughter, my mother, has a rich and creative live at work and at home. The modern far right operates psy ops to try to make you desire servitude instead of liberation.

a heist movie but instead of stealing anything i just sneak into wherever the large hadron collider is and bop it with a wrench until we end up in a timeline that isn’t so fucking stupid

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.
