TACO describes a single circumstance: if you're a stock trader, there's a pattern to Trump announcing something (knocking the market down) but then walking it back somewhat (and the market goes right back up). Point is, don't panic sell. Outside of that one situation, it's inaccurate and unhelpful.

What I like most about this Musk/GOP fight is the absence of any angle for Musk. It's not like he's a sincere fiscal hawk, or that this somehow positions him better with liberal customers. He's just mad his friends don't like him anymore so he's pouring his drink on their board game.

"Republicans are weird" remains a devastating, indisputably-true statement, and everyone who isn't part of MAGA should say it all the time. It works in every situation, even outside "culture war" stuff. Sure, there are strong merits to USAID, FEMA, CFPB—but also, destroying them is weird.

"why would you support a socialist thot for office and not a normal Dem candidate" Okay well I voted for my seemingly-liberal Dem Lt Governor to become Senator and then he turned into Republicans' and Netanyahu's best friend. I don't have a purity test, I have a no-more-turncoats rule.

Trump 2.0 is Christmas for Criminals. Career fed law enforcement is getting purged, and the remaining ones are tasked—alongside increasing numbers of state and local police—with dressing up in military cosplay to do easy-peasy pickups of law-abiding immigrants at hearings or their workplaces.

Again, all of this is wildly illegal, unconstitutional, & a violation of core legal principles of the sanctity of contracts & property rights, & all of these fake government employees should be arrested & thrown in jail immediately.

Part of why we're in this situation is because places like @axios.com only quote Republicans on fiscal issues, like in this article, which quotes only Republican officials & politicians and Jaime Dimon, who said "get over it" about Trump's tariffs, which caused this problem (which isn't mentioned).

I really don't like living in a historical period where the standard behavior of leaders in multiple nuclear-armed countries is to do horrible things then accuse their victims of what they're doing, hence this confession-as-accusation from a delusional neo-Nazi. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

But that leaves two possibilities: 1) they're bad people who know they voted to deport moms though they disagree with it 2) they're potato brains incapable of aligning their vote with their policy preferences There's no way to welcome either; we can only hope they suffer economically and switch.

"Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal," wrote Bhattacharya right before the largest COVID death wave. Hard to think of anyone worse to head the largest scientific research agency than a man who is both absolutely certain and absolutely wrong.

Classic Musk. "Bitcoin style encryption" isn't a meaningful term. Does he mean SHA-256 hashing? Elliptic curve cryptography? No one knows. And "whole new architecture" is a garden variety IT security snake oil. It just means it hasn't been exposed to attacks like longstanding programs have been.

If we wanted to reduce the number of international students (bad idea, but ok) we could do so with better government funding so universities wouldn't need their tuition. Cutting international students and government funding is a policy designed to force universities to have a rich kid quota.

Fascinated by MoM-z14, and the abundance of Nitrogen. Kind of like finding a new oldest human settlement and huh they've got copper pots and tools. And there's hundreds of these "little red dot" distant galaxies that might be more developed than our standard Big Bang timeline would suggest.

Yup, and Dems need to start saying this. It's a great time to be a criminal, there's no more fed law enforcement, they're all sipping coffee cosplaying in military gear while waiting for law-abiding migrants on their way out of immigration hearings.

Oh yes, this is more stuff I've learned in personal injury law. Consider those lawyer billboards, and what volume of cases it takes for "slip and fall" to be an entire field. People fall quite a bit and get hurt quite badly. It's okay to be a big wuss about stairs. Gravity is your enemy.

Shoutout to @michellegoldberg.bsky.social for being one of the few with an accurate headline about Musk's departure, although @nytimes.com should have these headlines under "news," not just "opinion." It's not an opinion; it's a fact. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Despite all their contradictions and lies, MAGA has been remarkably consistent in one area: their hatred for America. They hate the people, hate the places, hate the very idea of it. MAGA changes positions on a whim all the time, but they will never, even by accident, make Americans' lives better.

Toxic to the rule of law, and yet another example of ICE/CBP deliberately not looking for all those supposed criminals, drug traffickers, terrorists, etc. They're going for literally the least dangerous, most law-abiding people they can find, the ones following every rule. The easiest targets.

This sociopath is doing this from a cemetery, all part of a huge joke about how Republicans are going to throw millions of people off of Medicaid as part of a fake austerity effort to still explode the deficit anyway through corrupt spending because they will not tax billionaires.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Huh, weird, this is inconsistent with the Trump admin's claimed interest in combating antisemitism, which has been their basis for detentions and removals without due process as well as illegal attacks on universities and their students.
