I am in shock at the stupidity of @gavinnewsom.bsky.social inviting Steve Bannon on his podcast. Many of us on the right sacrificed careers to fight Bannon, and Newsom is trying to make a career and a presidential run by building him up. Unforgivable and insane

Khanna: Propaganda doesn’t work when the reality is terrible. What Biden had was an economy that was recovering, and we got hurt by propaganda. Now you actually have a terribly moving economy, and people are hurting. There’s no amount of things that Sean Hannity can say that’s going to pay the bills

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

I mean, sure this is laughable, let's mock the dumbass, but what if he decides he's going to cut half a trillion dollars out of Social Security?

Elon Musk reiterated his intention to destroy programs like Social Security, which he has called a Ponzi scheme: "Most of the federal spending is entitlements... that’s the big one to eliminate."

As of yesterday, Tesla stock had plummeted since the election, but it was still up over the last six months. That is no longer true. Yesterday Today

Nebraska is going to get crushed between Tariffs and Medicaid cuts. They have to balance their state budget and it looks like at least a 200m shortfall this year. BEFORE tariff impacts. And Nebraska Republicans here ! Curious what you think www.1011now.com/2025/03/05/t...

Don't worry about eggs or a Trump recession. The billionaires will be just fine. "Perhaps the billionaires get to enter Trump's Golden Age first, which seems only fair." My reassuring column (assuming you were worried about billionaires): www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

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?

SCOOP: The new DOGE official seeking private taxpayer information at the IRS has ties to a sanctioned Russian oligarch considered part of Putin's inner circle. Sam Corcos is married to a woman who partnered w/ a VC firm handling Suleyman Kerimov's money. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

To be clear: a tariff is a tax.

May I suggest that the Democratic Party look to Matt Drudge for messaging advice.

It’s borderline criminal.

Got a MMR vaccine booster today because I'm old enough that my immunizations from childhood may be waning. Because there's a whole lot of science deniers out there. This is 2025, more than 60 years after the measles vaccine was first released to the public. And yet, here we are.

Worrisome February jobs report www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

“National security concerns.”

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Hello Bluesky! Tuesday, after an overwhelming 94% ratification vote, we secured the FIRST union contract for the digital newsrooms of NBC News, NBC News Now and the TODAY Show. We are proud of the work we do, and we're excited to continue that work with the protections of a strong first contract.
