WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

lmao, jesus

It’s almost like these people were in the MCU Blip during Trump’s *first* term.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

“Obama thinks he’s king!” was a pretty powerful rallying cry in the Tea Party revolts of 2009-2010 and that was, you know, WITHOUT HIS WHITE HOUSE LITERALLY DEPICTING HIM AS A KING

“Elon Musk’s 28 False Claims Get 825.2 Million Views. From $50 million taxpayer dollars for condoms in Gaza to a 40% pay increase for Congress, Musk is correct that some of his claims are ‘incorrect’”

Half a century of Normal Conservatives weakening organized labor and stacking the courts with FedSoc partisans left democracy weaker than it should be in this moment

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Jesus.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

MAJOR EFFICIENCY WIN: the CFPB that’s returned over $21,000,000,000.00 to scammed americans now being dissolved to save every american $2.00 annually

Every single time news media like @nytimes.com writes “Musk’s cost-cutting effort” or “cost-cutting team” they participate in shoring up a deadly lie. None of this is or has every been about cost cutting and it never will be.

Millions of federal workers are subject to drug tests; why not require members of congress to take cognitive fitness tests

not everything you love in your teenage years holds up but Green Day was cooking with American Idiot

i could never have fathomed such a fucking stupid reality www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/c...

I find this so ugly and pernicious. These two aren't pursuing principled, independent scholarship. They're racing to build intellectual scaffolding for Trump's lawless order by skimming the history books and cherry-picking quotes out of context. The most intellectually bankrupt form of originalism.

Guy On Doomed Planet Mostly Concerned With Skin Color Of People In Movies theonion.com/guy-on-...

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

Why does the world’s richest man, a man no one voted for, have access to my Social Security number?

The carefully managed water systems in California's Central Valley saw a sudden deluge after the Army Corps of Engineers unexpectedly released reservoir water. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this. I was given no explanation at all.”

Kash Patel posted an AI video of himself chainsawing heads off of political opponents but Republican Senators need a hearing to think deep thoughts about whether he should run the FBI

The ICE hotline is allegedly being flooded with people reporting Elon Musk to ICE. www.thepinknews.com/2025/01/29/e...

Elon Musk, encouraged by his mother and an army of his cultish fans, is threatening tonight to sue a Washington Post journalist for pointing out on live TV that neo-Nazis welcomed his salute on Inauguration Day. Can we finally put the ‘he’s a free speech absolutist!’ BS to bed?

“remarkable proposal from a sitting president” and the remarkable proposal is ethnic cleansing

Sylvester looking utterly resplendent in all his silver glory today.

Here is what everyday Germans had to say about Musk

As has been said many times in recent months, history does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes. I hate this song.

Elon Musk / Tesla boycott is gaining momentum in Germany due to Elon Musk’s meddling in European politics and now his Nazi salutes.

So fascinated by the human impulse to be like 'wow, this food sanitation practice really improved the quality and safety of food, what an amazing development, we should definitely stop doing it.'

"A Milwaukee TV weather forecaster has been dropped by her station one day after she criticized Elon Musk on social media for his straight-arm gesture that many have likened to a Nazi salute."

I'm sure all of the FREE SPEECH CHAMPIONS on the American right will be speaking out loudly in defense of this Columbia Professor's free speech and against the university that silenced and, effectively, sacked her. Right? RIGHT?? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/u...

Jen Psaki slams Democrats for picking a cancer-stricken 74-year-old to head the oversight committee, saying "this felt like an obvious chance to apply some of the lessons we learned from the November election" and that "Democrats missed what I would consider a big opportunity."

BREAKING: Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have cast decisive votes against Biden's NLRB nominee. This means the Democrats will not secure control of the national labor regulator through 2026. These two Senators effectively handed Trump control of the board when his term begins.
