Hey @chatterton.bsky.social Rufo, among many other things, made up evidence that Haitians were eating people's pets. Now some 500,000 Haitians who were here legally are likely going to get deported. Glad he criticized you in "good faith" though. Enjoy staying on a platform run by the administration

Constituent: When will you stand up to them and say that is enough? Rep. Fitzgerald: The end result of the fraud and abuse that has been discovered Crowd: Booo

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

This is how it’s done.

Stocks down big on LOWER yields is all you need to know. @cnbc.com

Year-ahead inflation expectations jumped up from 3.3% in Jan to 4.3% this month, the highest reading since November 2023 and marking two consecutive months of unusually large increases. This is the largest month-over-month increase seen since May 2021. www.sca.isr.umich.edu

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

Again I am begging people in the media to note the legality of these actions in their headlines or blurbs. A post office is literally written into the constitution.

This is pretty straightforward authoritarianism: if you don't support my toxic businesses, I will use my government power to kneecap yours.

I see they started with the copyeditors.

Having to do this in a reply to Elon bullshitting about the latest update to his anti-woke chatbot… bleak

check out these fucking losers

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

Trump is an unpopular president taking unpopular actions that are expressly forbidden by judges. Here’s why he still has a mandate.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

Kash Patel once suggested that people in government “all have to agree with the commander in chief” or they could be “thrown in jail.”

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Moreover, if Trump can impound funds budget negotiations become impossible -- Democrats have to assume that any concessions they get will be unilaterally cancelled. It's not some random side issue

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

I look forward to the day when a Democratic president posts “Half of this country is too stupid to breathe, and business owners can eat my ass” and the Times covers it with this kind of equanimity

Trump: I AM A KING! NYT: Trump displays a "fondness for regal themes"

Big Balls is doing exactly what the American public elected him to do.

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

Most of the people quoted here *are Republicans* afraid of death threats *from their own party leader.* www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

when i say that there are people who care less about workers and their rights than they do the primacy of a masculinist blue collar identity politics, i am taking about people like sean o’brien

it's absolutely wild to shitpost about yourself being a king of a country whose entire foundational story of itself is centered on overthrowing the last person who deigned to call himself king on these shores

In today's Quinnipiac poll, 40% of Democrats approve of the way congressional Democrats are handling their job. 49% disapprove. In 2017, those splits were 64-28 (+36) among Democrats. That's *really* bad approval among your own voters. Lot of time to turn it around, but there's a risk here.

you love to see it. gov hochul comes out strong.

aren't they at least supposed to pretend they don't want him to be king??

Order as many as you can and encourage others to order. wapo.st/42VLGQh

i want to meet the people who think "he's not keeping his promises on egg prices" are an appropriate counter message to this.

In the new Quinnipiac poll Dems in Congress are underwater among Democrats:

i do not know how some people in this country live with themselves
