Wow, now that the American Federation of Musicians has weighed in, surely this administration will honor the US Constitution and comply with Supreme Court rulings.

Trump’s supporters lack the ability or will to imagine that what’s happening to others could happen to them. And when it does, they still assume that those other victims deserved it and they alone should be exempt.

People can’t boycott their lifesaving meds because they disapprove of the cost, and this EO won’t compel pharma to lower prices. This is a threat to American patients, not drug manufacturers.

Only figuratively, though. He won’t actually be removed from the chats and will be able to keep up with all the hottest top secret gossip.

Can they actually find that many Trump loyalist scientists? I know they exist but they’re not a fungible pool, and what’s the point if the product must align with the agenda? They want research to stop, not change hands.

It’s baffling. Clearly he’s not needed to run the company, but now he has to get back to the office and save the company from himself? #BankruptElon

Sounds like a fair amount of tolerance. Is she counting to ten and then they’re in big trouble?

I was happy to pay taxes to feed and educate kids, advance medical research, protect public lands, prosecute violent criminals, and repair public infrastructure, but that’s “fraud and waste” now.

Ah yes, the very normal golf accolades section of a standard medical report. Many people are saying it’s way better than passing a cognitive function test.

That may be giving him too much credit as a strategist. He’s a bully who enjoys wielding his power to humiliate people exactly like this. Any strategic benefit is incidental. I understand her motive but what will it cost Michigan? Cooperation is viewed and treated as surrender.

It’s not mutually exclusive to take issue with both. We don’t have to rank them and pick the best bad choices.

No, she walked right into an obvious trap. It doesn’t mean she’s a bad governor but it’s dangerous to deny when the people we support make mistakes.

Except that it is not normal for a governor to GO to the WH with a disaster declaration request. There was a process for this until Trump demanded that they come bearing gifts and fealty to receive fed disaster assistance. She didn’t know this would happen, but should have.

We understand that leadership is receiving mostly the same info at the same time. It doesn’t explain why they’re hiding under their desks and failing to lead while their agency is in turmoil. Just show up and act human.

Inspiring people who feel hopeless matters. If it didn’t have any effect on you, that doesn’t make it a pointless gesture.

Very smart surgeoning. Some are saying the best. Did your uncle go to medical school?

And to justify delaying or cancelling federal elections.

Trump must have assigned him busywork so he’d stop begging for a political appointment.

I haven’t been paid by a different federal agency. Deposit has always landed within a 2 hour window every 2 weeks, except for today. They technically have a few more days but this is a first.

Elon is furious that we loathe him and support & platform you. Take good care of yourself first while you’re being bombarded by the masses! 💜

There are reasons that they still use COBOL, but he probably fired everyone who could have explained that, not that it would have mattered. If he doesn’t get it and doesn’t know how to use it, it’s bad and has to be pummeled into a format he is capable of ruining.

Poor little guy. He’s tried everything to force people to like him and just doesn’t understand that the secret is just not being an insufferable ghoul.

Alt-Correspondents’ Dinner? Someone could turn this into an amazing antidote to what will assuredly be an unfunny wankfest under this administration.

There is no amount of appeasement CA can offer to stop being targeted, so fighting every threat tooth and nail is the only logical response. Kissing the ring hasn’t helped anyone who’s already and forever on the revenge list.

These events are so important because they provide a safe forum for people to gather peacefully and be seen and heard. Not everyone is able to participate in a protest and they’re otherwise faceless online voices, easily dismissed or called bots. Please show up in whatever way you can!

The public and media. Record and post it publicly with your accounts of protesters being harassed and threatened.
I’m concerned about my safety but the intimidation campaign is why we have to be out there, everywhere, all the time. They want to scare us into submission.

In addition to many other issues, this enables abusive parents to legally exploit their children and deprive them of an education while stealing their paychecks, trapping the children. It’s ghoulish.

“In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed Phil Hegseth’s job title and said this “interagency mission is part of Mr. Hegseth’s preview,” presumably meaning “purview.””

It’s disturbing how many people are questioning the crazy strategy of holding Trump’s people legally accountable for crimes because it might make MAGAs mad.

He’s saying when he’ll be in the state, available for arrest! He’ll have two infants strapped to his body for security, so they’ll need to bring social services along.

Just in time for the recession! Excess consumer spending will continue to decline as unemployment and yo-yo tariffs increase. People buy crap we don’t need when it’s cheap and we’re not worried about money. Travel & tourism and luxury goods & services sectors are going to tank.

I think this is essentially accurate. He wanted to be a superhero and was enraged when his desperate and often misguided pleas for love and approval were criticized. He can afford a very expensive tantrum. He and Trump have revenge motives, entitlement and poor self control in common.

How is a ruckus defined in law, so visitors and international students are able to differentiate between Constitutional rights and whatever this is?

What a wacky turn of events. I guess Wal-Mart finished shutting down all their independent competition and can claim the high road now? I’ll keep boycotting them too, along with Amazon and Target. It really curbs needless consumption and spending.

He should be detained as a known member of an organization that has repeatedly threatened the people and autonomy of Greenland. That’s what the US would do, even on behalf of another country.

Two narcissists of this caliber can’t cooperate without turning on each other. Why aren’t they? What’s more compelling to them than their uncontrolled compulsion to be the smartest and loudest guy in the room?
