UPDATE: The Coeur d’Alene Press spoke with the woman who was dragged out of a town hall for heckling legislators, confirmed which security firm worked the event and spoke with Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris and Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White about the events.

Next month Louisiana planned to execute Chris Sepulvado who had been on death row for decades. He was an 81 year old, frail, terminally ill man in a wheelchair. Last night he died a natural death.

Thinking you should decide who to promote based on an answer to an email explains a lot about the problems with his business model & products

Wow, you mean those lazy government workers actually had a value and it wasn't profit? Weird. Dude has completely fucked this place in a month. Which was the plan. There appears to be no plan to stop it.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Man, this system is so efficient. This really nice person notes they had to throw away 200 dozen eggs because their employer didn't have space to sell them at $2 a dozen because no one knows they have them for $2 a dozen. At least the person did this.

It’s vital that we shift the conversation from “if they come for X group then they could come for the rest of us next” to “an attack on any group IS an attack on all of us.”

I'm retired and literally have nothing to do and couldn't post that much on a combination of ketamine, cocaine, mushrooms, and energy drinks. But Elon manages somehow.

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

Dear Mr. Musk, What we found out is that each one of us is 1. a brain 2. and an athlete 3. and a basket case 4. a princess 5. and a criminal. Does that answer your question?

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

Acting like this without a badge gets people hurt. If they have them, they should show them. Otherwise, the next person might just think they're some piece of shit and defend themselves.

I am inundated with messages from federal workers who are feeling frantic, furious and fed up after receiving Musk’s email and reading his threatening X post. The psychological warfare is the point.

The GOP is signaling major cuts to Medicaid are coming. Recent studies have shown cuts to Medicaid have a big consequence that gets typically ignored: crime increases. boltsmag.org/medicaid-cov...

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

He's gonna get some real smart ass replies. Perhaps noting that none of them golfed on the job as much as Trump. Maybe questioning who the fuck he thinks he is. Might be a couple, "my job, asshole" replies, too. Hope they all get leaked.

It’s journalistic malpractice — to the extent that’s a thing any more — to talk about this Ed Martin letter without clarifying that every expert, other than administration hacks, thinks that Garcia’s statement was not remotely plausibly a true threat. It’s simply ludicrous.
