It’s going to be so wild when Musk’s “department of government efficiency” gets to the military and discovers that all the money is accounted for and that there is actually no waste at all so no military programs will be cut.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

DOGE shit is all bad but one of the underrated horrendous things about is that we all have to engage in serious discussion while calling it “DOGE” the cringe-ass 00’s meme. It’s so fucking corny and dumb and I hate the shit out of it. He’s such a fucking dork-ass nerd.

BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked President Trump's executive order forcibly to detransition trans women inmates and transfer them to men's prisons, citing the 8th amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.

The dumbest meanest nastiest motherfuckers on the planet are getting everything they ever dreamed of and nobody is doing jack shit to stop it. What the fuck.

Both right and wrong, Trump didn’t start this wanting anything specific. He did all this big dumb gesturing just to get everyone’s attention, knowing he’d find *something* in negotiations that his base would like and he could tout it as a “big win” and strengthen his support

Yo some dude brought a grill on the SEPTA BUS in Philly 😭😭😭

RFK Jr doesn’t believe in leeching but sometimes he does it just because he misses the worm

It’s so incredibly funny to me that the brilliant strategy from tech bros to attack DeepSeek is just to ask it about Tianenmen Square. Nothing about a weakness in the code or some sort of limitation, not even a data thing. Just simply a question about Chinese history. They got NOTHING.

It’s amazing that Travis Kelce takes like 7 steps and almost a full second to turn upfield after making a catch yet still manages to get 10 yards on every curl route

Sean McDermott lost this game if they lose

You are not the Eagles stop trying the tush push you absolute morons

So Josh still can’t do it against the Chiefs. I’ve seen all I need to from this game it’s an Eagles/Chiefs rematch

It begins July 11th. #Superman

Has anyone ever talked about the sheer number of cuts in Netflix shows and movies? And how rarely two actors having a conversation are shown in the same shot? It’s clearly to cut costs so Netflix can get a bunch of takes and decide which they like best in post but it’s so jarring when you realize

I actually enjoy Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense because it’s like “we hate DEI because it lowers standards and could lead to people getting hurt. Anyway let’s get this drunk white moron who doesn’t know what he’s talking about to lead the military. That’s how we keep people safe!”

Elon Musk says Twitter (X) is 'barely breaking even' and user growth has stagnated

The right wing playbook is to do a dog whistle to the alt right, respond to the outrage by avoiding specifically denying what they did to not lose ground with the alt right, and then packaging it up to get points with their normal supporters by dismissing said outrage as utter woke nonsense

Costco’s shareholders voted overwhelmingly to reject a proposal from a conservative think tank aimed at getting the company to roll back its diversity hiring practices.

I’m going to predict that the tariffs, if they even actually get implemented, don’t last the month. My hot take is I’m pretty sure he’s making a big show of it to get something he wants, and will immediately abandon them once he’s got it. It’s what he’s always done. Serial flip flopper
