"The numerous mistakes, according to people familiar with the complex world of government contracting, suggest that Mr. Musk’s team of outsiders, charged by the president with cutting spending, don’t fully understand it."

14 flags at 14:14. This a rallying cry for militant white nationalists. And look at the quote tweet. His message is clear: if you act in service of the 14 words, which he sees as not just saving the country but saving civilization, then you are not breaking the law, and you will not be punished.

Hey friendly reminder that King Musk's press conference here with Twitter Jr. is DEI. Flexible policies for working parents? DEI. "Rules for thee, not for me!" is the Republican motto.

Republicans pose for photos praying over Trump in the Oval Office knowing that they just took food away from 25 million starving children. “Pro-life” until you’re out of the womb, then if you’re poor, you can just die.

our far-right President is demanding that educators provide a "patriotic education" which instills that "America's aims are beneficial and justified" in the latest Executive Order. Ring any bells? This is bad. Really, really bad. Authoritarian regimes attack our shared history for a reason.

they're building a 30,000-bed migrant detention center in Guantanamo Bay for a specific reason. Guantanamo detainees do not have rights to due process. They're held indefinitely, without charges or trials. Ask yourself: why would they need to do this if they're only going after "criminals"?

This is very disturbing. They have the right to protest and the right to free speech.

I’d go even further and say this is more than a Constitutional crisis — it’s an attack on our Constitution by Donald Trump. What a surprise, the felon wants to keep breaking the law!

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea. In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour. Let's steal those ideas.

"Musk spoke live via video link about preserving German culture and protecting the German people. 'It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything.'" That's not even a dog whistle, that's a bullhorn.

Um, NYT, did you forget that Trump pardoned the insurrectionists who tased, beat, & assaulted Capitol Police officers? The felon pardoned the mob of violent criminals. This headline is vile. Trump does not support the Police. He supports himself, and that's it.

NYT reports that Facebook and Instagram are blurring, hiding, or altogether removing posts about abortion. They also ended fact-checking and removed hate speech protections to appease Trump. So you can say whatever you want, as long as it’s incorrect and bigoted, not if it’s life-saving info 🙄

This morning I found out that the pulpit where Bishop Budde gave her fantastic sermon — You know, the one that Trump is demanding she apologize for?? — is decorated with a carving of the signing of the Magna Carta. Which was a declaration that the King was not above the law. Symbolism ftw.

By describing a fetus as a person from conception, Trump has legitimized fetal personhood. The legal language employed by fetal personhood also effectively categorizes any person receiving an abortion at any stage as a murderer.

The phrase “Trump rigged the election” is not returning search results for TikTok users. People are instead using euphemisms like “ridge” or misspellings to share the suspicious admission video from Trump and circumvent the algorithm. What do you think? Was it a confession?

The Roman salute became the Italian Fascist Party salute which became the Nazi Party salute. Anyone attempting to rationalize what Musk did yesterday should do the same gesture on camera. Tag your workplace. Tag the news. Or, better do it, in any of the European countries where it’s illegal.

the bootlickers defending Musk today and trying to claim he didn't do what he clearly did, twice, made me think, again, of 1984 and this quote in particular: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

"it's a roman salute" which was adopted by the Italian Fascists and then the German Nazis. there's no excuse for doing any of those gestures, which again, are all the same thing. don't let them tell you otherwise.

This is extremely disturbing. There is no defending this. Don't listen to any MAGA troll who tries to downplay this. The world's richest man just got on stage, praising the new Commander in Chief of the world's biggest military, and saluted fascism and Nazism.

Spending the morning reading about the life, work, and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This article was fascinating -- It's got Stevie Wonder, it's got inspiration, it's got Democrats throwing Republican's binders onto the floor of the Senate and stomping on them. Check it out.

Some mathematically-challenged MAGA in my comments today over on TikTok... MAGA commenter: "Trump won a majority of Americans!" Me: "Nope. Because millions don't vote, and he didn't even get a majority of the voters. He got 49.9%." MAGA: "You're wrong, he won the popular vote!" 🤦

Um. What the fuck? “Elon was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. It was pretty good. Thank you to Elon.” Did Donald Trump just admit he cheated in Pennsylvania?
