When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Since writing this article, I have received messages from federal civil servants who tell me it is accurate, and that they are frightened. Please share this with anyone who doesn't understand the scale of the transformation. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

It hasn’t even been two months and already we know we don’t need the long judgment and perspective of history: his second administration is extremely high up there, arguably the top, in terms of both most openly and brazenly corrupt and lawless: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

📌Insane: Yesterday, I pointed out that despite erroneous reporting seemingly EVERYWHERE, DOGE is NOT a department. Today, the NYT alleged Musk's job was "to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse." NO IT WASN'T. This deviant was installed to WRECK our government, and help with the surrender to Russia. FACTS

My view is that the American South never fully took to liberal democracy. And I think we have to reckon with that to face the moment we’re now in. I wrote about it for @thebulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/liberal-de...

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Why? Because Maine’s governor Janet Mills told him to his face she would obey federal and state law, not his bullying edict, and he snapped at her like he did at Zelenskyy and she said see you in court. So, being a thin-skinned hateful savage, he’s now collectively punishing/antagonizing Mainers.

When a federal judge explains the Constitution to the President like he’s a slow 2nd grader who never heard of it before, using his own Truth Social posts to give him a judicial atomic wedgie, something has gone amiss. Beryl Howell from the top rope. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

This sucks. I wish people felt empowered to get loud and punch back twice as hard. If people did that en masse, Shitler and his entourage of loathsome losers wouldn’t know how to handle it.

this makes them seem abysmally stupid to many, but it’s actually deeply cynical & effective propaganda—they don’t care it's wrong, because while we correct & mock it, it scored its point last night & gets repeated in false controversy like they’re-eating-the-cats&dogs & achieves the intended harm
