old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

While I appreciate the sentiment, not one Republican senator who disagrees with Trump on this will even say his name. While Zelensky demonstrated political courage, Republican senators are still afraid to say Trump’s name, except when they praise him.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

I don’t give a fuck about what Zelensky was “wearing.” I care about the fact that my once upon a time beacon of democracy nation kicked him to the curb in favor of an evil despot. That’s what I fucking care about.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

THIS is why Democratic leaders must be replaced sooner rather than later. 9:42 AM: Amy Klobuchar posts a photo with Lindsey Graham bragging about her "bipartisan meeting" and how they "stand with Ukraine" 1:40 PM: Lindsey Graham is on Fox News "trashing Zelenskyy and praising Trump and Vance"

Republicans are lining up to denounce Zelensky because their base was seduced by a cranky old racist with a fondness for dictators. Just wild how the whims, prejudices, and weird obsessions of a senile 78-year-old have completely supplanted the party’s priorities — and reshuffled the world order.

A reporter who's dating a woman in Congress who looks like a Neanderthal takes issues with a man who isn't wearing a suit while fluffing for the two men wearing makeup in the Oval Office. Clown. Show.

I’m sorry, but repeating this framing without skepticism is collaborating with your source to mislead your readers. They have been working on humiliating Zelensky and catering to Putin since long before the inauguration. Nothing about this is a response; it’s the plan of an abuser and a charlatan.

Oh, the guy not wearing a suit is disrespecting an office held by a convicted felon and sexual abuser. Got it

I hate to break it to all these CEOs who want everyone to return to the office because they think we aren't working at home, but, uh......we were slacking off at the office too buddy. It's not really a "home" or "office" thing. We just don't really want to work super hard so your stock can go up.

Medicaid provides 40% of the funding for community health centers. Medicaid supports 2 out of 3 people in nursing homes. Medicaid provides health care to 41 million children. Trump and his Republican friends want to enact massive cuts to the program. We won't let them.

Some days it is just painful and we could do worse than replacing the entire house and senate Democratic leadership with the feral Gen Z kids who ran Kamala's social media accounts (tiktok in particular) and a sentient white board on loan from Katie Porter

Thanks for posting here Chris. How do you think his peers and people that report to him will respond ? And if I’m asking this wrong, please correct me, but if he makes a ridiculous decision to bring charges, which court is it appealed to if he wins the case ? All insights welcome

DOGE has been sending their mass emails from a misconfigured server, causing DOGE emails to fail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) validation. This means that agencies are probably marking DOGE emails as spam.

Gonna need people to stop referring to the Eagles as "America's Team." We hate that. That's the Cowboys. You will notice how they are extremely shitty. The Eagles play for the Free City of Philadelphia. They are Philadelphia's Team. Show them some respect and get it right.

Hilarious. After the DOGErs set up the new government-wide all employee email system in late January OPM, where it is housed, sent out an advisory which states explicitly that no employee ever has to respond to any of the emails. See 4.2 and 4.3. www.opm.gov/media/kfpozk...

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
