The mental leaps, the logical pretzels, the sheer effort that some people in the media are going to have to come up with to avoid naming the most obvious fucking reason in the universe all this stuff is happening

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

Instead of doing something simple and effective, why not do a very a complicated form of a nothing that hands a loaded gun to your opposition? That's the Democrat Promise

Teamsters represent 2,000 federal workers and tens of thousands of public sector workers whose jobs depend on federal money. Sean O'Brien isn't just a class traitor, he's a traitor to his own members. He should not be welcome in any labor space.

Given that the MTA's already sold bonds off congestion pricing, this feels like a real "Trump to NYC: Drop Dead" moment

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

CONFIRMED: Trump has banned Associated Press from the White House & Air Force One for refusing to use the term “Gulf of America”. The WH Press Sec accuses them of ‘pushing lies’. At this point, EVERY reporter should have walked out. If the media won’t defend the 1st Amendment what are they for?

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

every so often I'll think about how the Democratic Party successfully forced their 2024 candidate for President to step down and make way for a new candidate, who promptly announced she would maintain the policies of the old candidate, thereby defeating the point of getting rid of the old candidate

Remember, if you see anyone *else* reporting from the Oval Office or Air Force One, that person is a spineless scab.

fascism is the kicking in of a rotted door, and the dem party has been committed for the last 15 years to insisting that the door we can all see is rotten and falling off the hinges is actually fine and good and maybe the best door in the world
