After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

in any sane, functioning society this would be enough to get you banished to fucking mars

"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

political journalists obsess over the public’s lack of trust in our profession but strangely see that as downstream of things like “we didn’t talk enough about how biden was old” and not “many of us appear to be indifferent to a nihilistic attack on the constitution”

This 🤡 right here lol go away

@froomkin.bsky.social has the right idea here: A volunteer army tracking exactly what Trump is breaking, so we can fix it later. Lots of work is already happening, but a combined, organized, ongoing effort is crucial. It's a manifestation of faith in recovery, and a tool to help us get it done.

The mother fucker who received due process 4 times says “I don’t know” when asked if people deserve due process. Anyone who is surprised by this authoritarian answer should count backwards from 11,780.

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

NPR did a 30-minute interview with Steve Bannon in his podcast studio that aired just yesterday. PBS had on Chris Rufo tonight. Cozying up to these fucks won’t save you.

Thank you Greyhound!

Dear Canada- Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever. ❤️ from your neighbors below, 🇺🇸 #MakeAmericaNormalAgain

Raspberry headache

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT. sincerely, a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

Here's Marky Mark on Jan. 6, hiding behind a chair in the Capitol, scared of the rioters who were there because he and his buddies egged them on with lies.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

This image might be one of the most powerful weapons against the administration. That guy doesn’t look like some MS-13 drug lord. He looks like one of the dads you chat with about football while waiting to pick your kids up from the same school. He’s just some very American dude.

Done and done. Loved those audio books 🙏🙏

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'... "Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..." www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

They continue to violate a court order to retrieve someone they illegally deported. We’re now well beyond a constitutional crisis. If they’re allowed to do this, their secret police can sweep up anyone, for any reason, deport them & refuse to bring them back. That would be the end of democracy.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

The construction industry has developed a series of schemes to deny workers pay and benefits, while shielding everyone up the contracting chain. Infuriating piece from @sarahlazare.bsky.social and @workdaymagazine.bsky.social: prospect.org/labor/2025-0...

Americans voted against the most successful economic recovery of any nation on the planet for this, because they were mad at their servants being paid more and listened to liars who made them feel good.

What’s really annoying is hearing people whisper about this like he’s a king or emperor and not like he’s an elected official in a government where power is derived from the people. If he’s deranged, people should be asking for him to be removed, not just hoping he’s a raging asshole

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

Trump’s Justice Department is currently asking the Supreme Court for permission to build a deportation machine that can disappear anyone, citizen and immigrant alike, to a foreign prison forever, permanently extinguishing their constitutional rights with zero due process. slate.com/news-and-pol...

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

Pretty much. There is absolutely no reason to trust us after this. We are done as an world power. White conservatives destroyed our standing to preserve white supremacy. No matter what ill befalls them—they have it fucking coming—and they should never be forgiven for this.

There are 32m small businesses in the USA

At what point do Republicans have to stop pretending they are the party of fiscal responsibility

financial advice in a weird time: -- develop a plan -- find friends who support you -- preferably 10 of them -- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand -- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos -- get your wife back -- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw simple
