I'm an ally.

Appropriate. #AFarewellToKings

What is a sudden realization for some is what others have reported for years.

The best of all the Ken Burns series. A+

Probably the most work I've ever done for a gag for the internet.

/chatgpt prompt “generate a list of ten things a government employee might do that a self-important dullard would find convincing”

The entire MAGA movement will be doing this gesture within a month or less.

No, I have full confidence that Trump's Whore Kash Patel isn't an idiot, why do you ask?

I literally reported this Wednesday.

So many layers to Severance. Memory's linkage to consciousness and existence, self-enslavement, corporate cults, technology gone amok, trauma, love and loss -- and it's all presented in a mysterious, quirky, relatable way. Easily a top 5 series for me.

15 days until Daylight Saving Time begins. 🌞

This is a big effing deal.

This is just the beginning. Keep up the pressure.

I have decided to call @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social EVERY DAY to tell him to fight harder. The days of being cautious and timid have led us to fascism. I will remind him he works for us and that he needs to ramp it up. I called and left a message today. Please join me. His number: 202-225-5936

The worst part of this North Korean style sycophancy is that we all know Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this and Trump knows Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this.

"...one of the best people to lead those daily briefings, I think, is former Transportation Secretary @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, who is perfectly poised to take on this newly created, full-time position on Capitol Hill." - @cherijacobus.bsky.social

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

I have to say I find the sexism of people's opposition to Pam Bondi grotesque. Not only is it sexist, but it leads you all to wildly underestimate her.

Evidence that the Democratic coalition *has to* embrace a Bernie/Warren/AOC-style economic populist message -- anti-oligarchy and pro-democracy. Tax the billionaires and rebuild the middle class. This is how we win.

Good news for sure, but the takeaway -- one we need to repeat over and over -- is he tried to screw 9/11 heroes and got caught.

Extortion.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

A must watch moment: Republican Sen Tom Tillis shows he may have a spine after all. I know it’s hard to believe, but he actually calls out Putin 👀 Thanks to @reallyamerican.bsky.social

This is a good moment to thank the federalism gods. States choose their election technology, not the federal government. In blue states the read out will be GTFO Elon. And given how toxic he’s getting probably in a lot of red states too.

when you've (already) lost Larry Kudlow ...

The Trump administration has deported more than 400 migrants — from as far as China and Vietnam — back to some of these shelters, leaving them in legal limbo.

Update on Proud Boy Enrique Tarrio’s press conference at the US Capitol…

Wait. Voting is too hard for computers? Does Elon know that AI is, you know, computers?

The MAGA cult needs to shit all over everything good.

You know what'd balance the budget? 90 percent tax bracket for billionaires.

It's disturbing that the abolition of DEI is not only being used to halt efforts to affirmatively seek out minority workers, but to get rid of those already employed and to prevent hiring any minority, no matter how qualified. This is just racial McCarthyism.

Use whatever adjectives you want. No one's denying you that right. But if you actually read what I wrote, I said we should add it to the list of words to use--not replace all the other things with it. Incidentally, maybe part of the problem is we suffer from having 80 million chefs in the kitchen.

This is really something

I wasn't saying we should replace all of the other messaging with this one word. That'd be nuts. I said we should incorporate it into our existing messaging because it works. People understand it. It's worked in the past on the other side -- post-9/11 specifically. It can work for us.

Man, it's a shame nobody warned consumers that prices wouldn't magically return to 2019 and that a deranged tyrant would spike inflation again.

This is America. The only way you get to be king is if you have your birthday at a fast food place in 1987.

The goal here, of course, is a self-fulfilling spiral of stupidity. You fire a bunch of worker because you say government isn't efficient. Then when people need help, there aren't enough workers to help them. And you say, "See? I told you government doesn't work." And the rubes believe you.

We should incorporate "unpatriotic" into our messaging about Donald, Elon, and MAGA. They're destroying the government, violating the law and the Constitution, supporting dictators, embracing monarchy, hurting 9/11 heroes, damaging national security, etc. THIS IS UNPATRIOTIC. Say it. Over and over.

A federal judge has ruled that the Trump admin has not fully complied with his court order pausing the freezing of foreign assistance grants and contracts. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali: "To the extent Defendants have continued the blanket suspension, they are ordered to immediately cease it."

Thanks Johanna!!

Cruel and unpatriotic.

You know it’s bad when this is the post’s cover
