Dems understand that they need to appeal to low-information, low-partisanship Trump voters and think the way to do that is to go like "look I admire Elon Musk and his noble goals as much as anyone but the Administrative Procedures Act says" when the actual move is "no eggs at the grocery store"

Trump killed Joann's Fabrics

Someone find every Harper's Letter signatory to see if they've said anything about this

Great piece by @adamserwer.bsky.social. Reminder that this isn’t the first time the federal workforce has been resegregated: Woodrow Wilson’s 1913 order to impose Jim Crow rolled back almost half a century of progress that saw Black people working at every level of the federal government.

lol

Centrist brain

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Buying Hooters to turn it into the world's first pay-what-you-can food pantry with virulently sexual undertones.

An excellent deep dive intp the dats behind FIRE's "campus free speech" rankings. You won't be surprised to learn they are bullshit, riddled with errors and willful misrepresentions. This is not a serious organization and we would stop treating it as such. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Americans HATED Jan. 6. That the political opposition wasn't able to harness that and turn it into a lasting defeat of Trumpism will be one of the defining stories of the 2020s, if not the century.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Musk confirms my reporting:

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

They should consider putting him in charge of the country again, I mean, what is the worst that could happen?

NBA: players, you MUST take the all-star game more seriously also NBA: you will play basketball for 20 mins in between breaks of kevin hart’s performance. also before we hand out a real MVP trophy, we’re going to give a tiny trophy to kevin. haha get it? because he’s tiny? 🤣

Bill Kristol is substantially flanking most Democrats to the left, including on trans rights. That's how pathetic our party is

So you can just say you work at DOGE and pillage anything from our documents you want. The law truly doesn't exist anymore! Cool!

Eric I’m sorry but you have to go to jail

Someone hurry that asteroid the fuck up

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

The Chiefs can still be named Super Bowl champions if Mike Pence has the courage.

To understand the faction leading America, recognize they think the worst, most terrifying things to happen in recent years are: 1) George Floyd protests 2) Public health treating COVID as real 3) HR saying "we've received complaints about your, um, 'jokes'" 4) Press 1 for English 5) Pronouns in bio

Incredible news. After immense pressure and threats of protest, Children's Wisconsin has reinstated treatment for at least one trans teen under its care. Several hospitals across the country determined their fear of Trump's illegal EO was more important than their trans patients.

Charlie Baker can go fuck himself

I've never seen a coach find ways to lose games in the clutch in more hilarious ways than Steve Kerr... Just comically inept in the final 5 minutes.
