This scene with the son dying in 'Hamilton' breaks me every time. So effective.

Elon Musk's first ex-wife (who is a novelist) wrote this harrowing account of his insane behavior back in 2010. Sadly, way too many people ignored it. www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a53...

@xzyliac.bsky.social thinking of you. I hope you're doing well. ❤️

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

We have a confused, idiotic drug addict, who wears sunglasses on TV to hide the fact that his eyes are wildly dilated, deciding how our government should work now because his boss is too incompetent to do the job himself.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Watching 'Hamilton' and making homemade tortillas. Very enjoyable.

Peaceful protest works! #TeslaTakedown

probably fine right

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

Every dollar helps. Every share helps.

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

BREAKING - The Dow just had its worst drop since March 2020 — at the beginning of Covid Back then it was a pandemic mismanaged by Trump Now it’s tariffs and inflation mismanaged by Trump Watch out — Trump is giving America economic Covid

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

God bless Julie Foudy for talking about pay during women’s soccer games. US women each made $18,000 today. Colombian women made $80.

DOGE cuts 9/11-related cancer research funding, which FDNY commissioner calls "a tragedy for all Americans." www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

Hope is a threat and joy is the knife that wields it.

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

and there it is. Sean O'Brien's heel turn is complete.

#Fellas #NAFO #Healthcare Y’all - trump is shutting down the covid19 website at midnight tonight (don’t ask me which time zone). Last call for getting 4 free covid tests - get them before they’re destroyed! covidtests.gov

McConnell's legacy is grim - he fought campaign finance reform, stonewalled Supreme court nominees - but what stands out most? More than any single person, he had the chance to end Trump but chose not to do so, even as he understood the risk Trump posed. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

This is what weaponizing DOJ looks like.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

President Trump and Elon Musk's efforts to shrink the federal government have cut off all funding to pro-democracy and human rights groups abroad, giving China an opportunity to muscle in.

I’m starting to see otherwise careful outlets whose reporting I really appreciate & admire refer to Starlink as a whole separate business run by Musk. Folks, it’s part of SpaceX and you should NOT make that mistake.

1. AUDIO On Monday in Fairbanks, Congressman Nick Begich (R-AK) told a constituent laid off from a job with the federal gov't that there was nothing he could do to stop budget cuts imposed by DOGE and Elon Musk Begich said he was "not in a position to approve or deny the cuts"

TRUMP: *machine-guns crowd of pedestrians at Fifth Ave* NYT: President's most daring argument for population control brings new scrutiny.

Hegseth orders military to draw up plans for 40% total budget cuts over the next fives years, 8% per year. Exponentially worse than sequestration that crippled the military in 2011. wapo.st/4hHV3Yt

is Putin ever like "jesus donald tone it down you're making it too obvious?"

fantasizing about a world where an opposition congress responds to trump’s attempts to usurp legislative power by defunding the entire white house staff

We don’t talk enough about how funny it is that Vance’s whole schtick was that he became this devoted Catholic convert then he told the pope no not like that

So how soon can we organize a Spirit of 1776 rallies as a response to Trump declaring himself King? Tomorrow night?

Just now picking up my daughter’s Claudia’s Corgi, Gracie, from her spaying procedure from Friendship Animal Hospital in northwest DC. It turns out they are doing something amazing for people victimized by the insane government purges 👉
