Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

The WH has no idea what it's doing, why it's doing it, or how it will work. And Trump can't explain it because he doesn't understand it either. So he repeats empty platitudes like "we'll make lots of money" because he knows his base will believe anything he says.

Elon Musk has fired thousands of USDA workers, which could cause grocery prices to rise and invasive species to spread. DOGE fired food experts, inspectors, entomologists, and more. Now food could rot in ports or be riddled with invasive pests. www.wired.com/story/usda-f...

Texas Republicans want to make lawsuits against Elon Musk and other corporate leaders virtually impossible. The bill would prevent most suits against corporate officers in the state’s new business courts, set up to have separate legal protections for corporations.

That “say Drake” was diabolical. Someone should do a welfare check on the man.

NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination. “We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask… It feels dirty and illegal.”

I know the “imagine if a Democrat did this” is overplayed, but if a Democratic president had given George Soros access to government personnel details and Treasury payments I’m pretty sure we’d have a literal civil war.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him. This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Last year, we talked to air traffic controllers and found out they’re working 10-hour shifts, 6 days a week, with mandatory overtime. Trump’s cuts to the federal workforce and push to privatize air traffic control could make matters even worse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyN6...

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

if there is one funny thing about yesterday’s blitzkrieg of executive orders is that it makes the “democratic opposition went too far last time” crowd look like total dipshits

Of course Elon did the salute. He’s a eugenicist who espouses white nationalist ideas & this administration always trafficked in those ideas. It’s only gonna get more blatant. Focus on what you CAN do & not what is out of your hands. It’s a marathon - pace yourselves and protect your nipples.
