Every day, I look through the headlines and think, I want someone to clearly explain to me why we’re dismantling our entire government. No pithy remarks, no sarcasm. Seriously, why? Republicans need weather forecasts and collect Social Security and go to national parks, too.

Ok so now we know what the little girls are going to be sad about. I want to know what the billionaires are going to be sad about.

The EPA plans to eliminate Energy Star, the popular energy efficiency certification for dishwashers, refrigerators, dryers and other home appliances, according to agency documents and a recording of an internal meeting.

🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.

I guess “The buck stops here” is somewhere else now.

This deserves to be spread far and wide. The California State Bar acknowledges using untested AI generated questions on the February 2025 bar exam. The February 2025 bar exam was an unmitigated disaster *before* this news was came out. www.calbar.ca.gov/About-Us/New...

Bukele says that the only way out of his prison is in a coffin so the United States is now giving the death penalty to people we’re “pretty sure are gang members.” No trial, no judge, no lawyer to defend them, just some evidence gathered that they’re “probably” in a gang then .. death.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Ahahahaha! Congrats to all who bought the dip!

The totalitarian levels of bad faith and disingenuousness from MAGA is funny at one level but also deeply depressing because it’s the foundation for all this and until it cracks, I’m not quite sure how we get out alive.

Theories about tariff insanity I’ve seen today: 1. Still a negotiation tactic 2. He’ll declare a few wins then call it off b/c he doesn’t have the nerve to watch markets implode 3. Chaos agent 4. Russian agent 5. Long game to return manufacturing-unlikely to work 6. He’s an idiot 7. We’re f*cked

oh NOW they wanna tell the truth about tariffs

It’s a cult.

So many bad, sad things going on but this one is…I don’t know, just why? Why are we hurting ourselves this way?

Something really unnerving about having people in charge who seem to have no idea what they’re doing, where they are, who they’re talking to or why.

I really feel like the “but her emails” and “Hegseth was a DUI hire” cracks are really missing the point here. This is way bigger than a gotcha moment.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Sanders: We are not a poor country! There is no excuse on God’s earth for people to have to choose between food and the medicine they need to stay alive.

This is so embarrassing
