Unfathomable levels of corruption going on. Trump isn’t even trying to hide it. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

The #ElectoralCollege is #DEI for #RedStates

Say something the government doesn’t like? Terrorism! www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Chuck Schumer is a call to action not a name

It’s time for statehood. No taxation without representation. thehill.com/business/bud...

@booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov stay strong against the Trump budget! Do not become accomplices for the destruction of essential services and protections for the American public!

Cowards and accomplices. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

In these dark days, it’s worth remembering that good things still happen. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Aero/astro engineering was recognized by everyone as the hardest major at MIT. The kids who made it through could make a fortune making weapons for a living or work even harder to make a lot less helping NASA do science. Kids who at 22 had the moral backbone to make that choice are losing everything

ATLANTIC: “Part of the risk (of Trump letting Musk make 🇺🇸 air traffic control dependent on Starlink for billions of dollars) is Musk could simply choose to switch it off.” We have reached Bond villain territory. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

There is a real, genuine 1st Amendment crisis in the United States right now. The government is openly retaliating against anyone with a viewpoint it doesn't like: Pro-Palestinian protesters, law schools teaching Black History, pro-immigration public service loan forgiveness seekers.

This isn’t a novel concept, it’s highly popularized. And the fact that we’re seeing this attitude resonate so deeply within the so-called opposition party should alarm the shit out of overton-window watchers.

I’m with Canada on this one.

Come on Dems. Grow a spine! The GOP would shut down government in an instant. www.huffpost.com/entry/house-...

“The union said it would be evaluating its legal options.” Screw that. They all need to come down sick on the same day. thehill.com/regulation/t...

Donnie the dictator tried to undermine Zelenskyy and to get his opposition to call for elections. The opposition just told Trump to stuff it. Art of the deal. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Any democrats that voted yes or present needs to be primaries. Whose side are they on? www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

This isn’t terrifying at all….

Grifter keeps on grifting. apnews.com/article/trum...

BREAKING: As Texas Faces Worst Measles Outbreak in Decades, Lieutenant Governor Focuses on Renaming ‘New York Strip’ Steak.

I don't discount this as possibly true but it might give them too much credit. My working hypothesis is that they are cutting wherever they can, knowing that doing so will accomplish the goal of disabling government and making it look bad. Of course I think much of government (not all) works well.

Just so we're clear was it not a crisis when it was the other way around?

Conservatives claim #Trump / #Vance showed strength. Liberals claim #Zelensky showed strength. Both are right. One was the power of holding all the weapons. The other was personal strength in the face of threats. It says a lot which type of power people identify with.

Propaganda from USDOT despite the fact that congestion pricing is making lower Manhattan a safer and easier place to get around.

#Trump and co are absolute thugs. #Zelensky fighting for his countries existence. Trump and co being petulant children because Zelensky didn’t show enough deference to dear leader. Zelensky held his own, but that doesn’t change how the war is progressing. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Nothing like choosing your press coverage. Yay for freedom of the press. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

We almost had another Trump crash. Who needs air traffic controllers anyways. Cut them all and let the rich have more yachts. apnews.com/article/sout...

Only those acts that please dear leader will be permitted. Long live freedom of speech. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...
