Richest guy in the world telling us we can’t afford to have our government fund cancer research.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Thanks to Republicans, free speech is finally back in America. Here's why everyone who works for 60 Minutes should receive jail time. by Elon Musk

Introducing these bills while refusing to use the power she already has to do the right thing just adds insult to injury.

Good cartoon, and good that people are finally getting the message.

I think the totally understandable negative polarization among people on the left towards AI has obscured for people just how shockingly advanced the tech is getting. The consumer facing image slop is laughable but DeepSeek’s research abilities are insane.

Whether it’s Joe Biden accepting a presidential salary or Elon Musk restructuring the federal government to benefit his private companies, presidents of both parties have used the office to financially enrich themselves.

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

Thanks @peterbakernyt.bsky.social making it clear that I don’t need to take you seriously. Appreciate your eliminating a potential waste of my time!

If the White House press corps doesn't walk out in solidarity for the AP they're not gonna do it for anyone.

"Aren't you the country where people hang plastic testicles on their cars?" Ok wise guy, and where do people in your country hang them?

Eric Adams was a disgrace from day one and now he's sold all of us to the Trump administration—including our most vulnerable neighbors. It's time for @govkathyhochul.bsky.social to fire him. Every minute she waits, she's sacrificing more New Yorkers. ENOUGH.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

The interim US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, a FedSoc member and former Scalia clerk, has done more to publicly expose the corruption of the Trump administration this week at greater personal cost than any elected official I can think of.

Instead of prosecuting the mayor of America’s largest city with the ample evidence that he took bribes from a foreign government, the Trump administration decided to leave him in office, and use the threat of charges to blackmail him into carrying out their agenda. And they did it all in the open.

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

I can quit my vim habit any time I remember the combination of keystrokes that does that

As someone trained as a trade economist, it is my duty to share the 1929-1933 Kindleberger Spiral, showing the month-month decline in global trade due to the combined factors of the (global) Great Depression and retaliatory tariffs. Smooth Hawley is implemented mid-June 1930.

It's actually theft of taxpayers money when websites go dark. We paid for that data

PLEASE NOTE: Bribes are now called "settlements."

This Hannah Arendt quote feels appropriate right now "Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."

The entire staff of 60 Minutes should resign. This would be a dangerous, historic act of cowardice. It requires an extraordinary, historic response. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/b...

Opinion | Yesterday's tragic crash proves that air traffic control does not work and should be eliminated. by Grover Norquist

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

2025 has been my least favorite decade so far.

Crying at the people who think they’re “protesting” congestion pricing by not driving into the city

These “please identify all images containing X” captchas should be fucking illegal
