I regret to inform The Onion that its services will no longer be needed. Real life has taken over:

Tulsi Gabbard, sounding very much like a Kremlin spokesperson on Fox News Sunday, accuses Zelenskyy of an “escalation”

Moments after being shown polling indicating that Trump’s favorable position toward Putin is out of step with American public opinion, Tulsi Gabbard asserts that Trump’s stance is being “celebrated” by the American public

Three years ago this week. 🇺🇦

1/ The nascent Tesla boycott movement got me thinking back to the 80s anti-apartheid movement. How it took off and literally changed the world. If the South African apartheid regime could be brought down, perhaps one South African oligarch could be? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Is the legacy media going to do anything? Or is this it?

NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Last Fall, the Washington Post allowed a right wing group to run a full page ad falsely attacking me for protecting voting rights. Today, Bezos' paper won't accept ads criticizing Elon Musk. Support pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

Americans don't do history. That's why we don't need a Department of Education anymore. Knowing facts is boring. Watching TikTok videos is more fun.

I saw a video of known alcoholic Pete Hegseth drinking multiple scotches in the middle of a televised presser and started laughing so hard I began coughing as I believe we're less than 2 weeks removed from him promising never to drink a single time as Secretary of Defense and nothing matters anymore

Seize his assets.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

We are in a constitutional crisis right here and now www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...

Flash: Why are Blackwater mercenaries blocking members of Congress from entering federal property?

This need to be said more often. Elon Musk is not an intelligent person. He used is father's money to buy intelligent people's ideas. Americans confuse that with intelligence. But he's an immature idiot who surrounds himself with young men who tell him how smart/funny he is. He is neither..

I'm here.🙋‍♂️

NEWS The US Senate voted 59-38 to confirm former energy executive Chris Wright as the Secretary of Energy.

Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

My firm is willing to represent pro bono those fired in this unlawful and vindictive purge. These dedicated civil servants were performing their jobs and upholding the rule of law.

almost every single word that Sen. John Kennedy says about Dr. Fauci and covid in this clip is false. It's remarkable how Trumpers have concocted a completely fictional history of the pandemic.

They are kissing his orange ass so he doesn't put up road blocks to their deals. It’s a shakedown of epic proportions.

By erasing it, or trying to, they make it more memorable. The Internet is written in indelible ink.

A second test email went out to all federal workers today testing the OPM distribution system intended to circumvent agency heads. Notice the warning.

In my latest @npr.org story, officials and data users warn that the reliability of the U.S. government statistics used to track the country’s economy and population is under threat because of budget concerns. That's before any new funding cuts by President Trump and Congress.

Certainly all the people who were up in arms about Biden not visiting North Carolina immediately will criticize the president’s “fuck you not my problem” attitude to disasters now

Stephen Miller tried to bulldoze the Constitution using Trump’s new EOs on immigration, but Democratic attorneys general and the ACLU are stopping him dead in his tracks. Link to my write-up: https://buff.ly/40KKYnj

I just left an… animated voicemail on the @cbs58.bsky.social tip line voicemail telling them to reinstate @samkuffelwx.bsky.social. I suggest you do the same!

Michael Fanone live on CNN: "This is what I'd say to Stewart Rhodes: Go fuck yourself"

Can you imagine the courage it took to preach this message directly to the president? This is what a follower of Jesus looks like. (Partial transcript below.)

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

Remember this day. The last full day with a Democratic President. We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

Notre Dame tried to make a two-score game a two-score game and got a two-score game!

Brave yourselves for more of the like.

Has anyone tried @threadwriter.bsky.social yet ? Much needed. Curious about any feedback Thank you !

When the wildfires destroyed so much of our city, my wife Lisa had a crazy idea: We could do a livestream fundraiser called “Rebuild LA” and join Seth Rudetsky’s Concert for America. And now it’s happening! LIVE TONIGHT 7pm EST 4PM PST Watch here: Starsinthehouse.com

As I’ve predicted every day for the last two weeks. A prearranged scam between Trump and the CCP to deceive the American people, enrich himself, and fool users. And it will work because there are plenty of rubes & suckers in this country and Trump has had their number for years.

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

Bezos spiked the Washington Post editorial endorsing Harris, saying that the paper needed to stay neutral to maintain the trust of its readership. Now the Washington Post editorial board is out with a piece urging Congress to rubber stamp nearly all of Trump's cabinet nominees
