The cars keep lurching to the far right.

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

indeed

Most of the people quoted here *are Republicans* afraid of death threats *from their own party leader.* www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

I wrote a book called "It Was All A Lie" that made the case that Republicans never really believed in their freedom and democracy rhetoric. It was all just marketing slogans. Watch how many call out Russian agent Donald Trump openly siding with Putin. It was all a lie.

I haven’t stopped thinking about this since I read it yesterday.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

🚨Trump stole from Veterans so he could go for a joyride at NASCAR🚨

FFS! 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 are firing National Park Service EMTs There will be no one to attend to you if you get attacked by wildlife, fall while climbing/hiking, have a skiing incident, are drowning, break a leg/arm/your neck, etc Alex Wilds is one such federal employee. Read what he's saying

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

Tommy Tuberville blocked military promotions for months while his party was in the minority and he can’t read or write

Got invited to a brunch but it's B.Y.O.E.

On a Depeche Mode kick today... Watch and be filled with perfect silence. youtu.be/a6J1fFpN3S0?...

It's pretty simple. No one who cares what is happening in America should use X, buy a Tesla, lease a Tesla, rent a Tesla. No one should use Facebook or Instagram. No artist should do anything with the Kennedy Center. We can't shed all of Trumpworld from our lives, but we can fucking try.

Holy shit. This is fucking nuts.

I was previously told by Republicans that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was one of history’s greatest scandals. But the chaotic withdrawal of *all* USAID from the whole globe?! Crickets.

NEW: Josh Shapiro is suing the Trump administration for withholding federal funds from PA already appropriated by Congress. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

This is the courage required of people who serve at the Justice Dept. Sassoon resigns, at no small personal cost, to protest the unjust order from DC to dismiss the case against Mayor Adams. Without fear of favor. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

I remember when "What's the worst that can happen?" was a rhetorical question instead of a section of the newspaper.

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

The air of insanity about all of this is starting to get to me.

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging? Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

Thankfully Elmo gotten rid of all that government waste so he could have them spend...$400M on armored pieces of shit for the DOD. Bravo everyone.

Musk's company has been awarded a $400 million government contract for "armored Tesla." This is what the tech oligarchy looks like. www.dropsitenews.com/p/elon-musk-...
