An interesting hypothetical if you’re wondering if Elon Musk is a genius or not is to compare his behaviour in any situation to what a complete moron would do in the same situation

You have to be fucking kidding me. This is weird cult of personality shit. Just a contest to see who can be the most obsequious bootlicker.

Can't imagine a better side-by-side: On the day Republicans confirm a crooked MAGA partisan to run the FBI, the Dem NY gov decides it'd be...unseemly?...to excise the corrupt influence Trump has asserted over her constituents. A rebellion is brewing against Dem leadership, and shit like this is why.

advice to young writers: - begin the first sentence of every paragraph with, "So basically the whole deal is, is that [...]" - begin subsequent sentences with, "And plus, [...]" - end every paragraph with, "So that basically wraps it up as far as all that goes." - 4 blank lines between paragraphs

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

These are the GOP members of the House Ways and Means Committee--THEY'RE some of the people hiding while DOGE disrupts Medicare/Medicaid and NIH funding. If they are YOUR representative, consider a visit to their LOCAL OFFICE this week, while they're home, to explain why they need to oversee DOGE.

"Do I need to call Elon?” one DOGE member barked at a federal security official while demanding access to sensitive information at one agency this month, a source familiar with the exchange tells Rolling Stone." Come on, man, you’re being bullied by twerps.

Instead of prosecuting the mayor of America’s largest city with the ample evidence that he took bribes from a foreign government, the Trump administration decided to leave him in office, and use the threat of charges to blackmail him into carrying out their agenda. And they did it all in the open.

@schiff.senate.gov Elon Musk is mad about Judge McConnell’s decision to unfreeze federal grants… So he posted a picture of his daughter, her full name, her position of where she works, and a page of a signed tax statement she filed. The judge’s daughter. Do Something

This is one reason we're mad at Democrats in Congress. They could—as Republicans have done for decades—gum up the works and make it harder to move the fascist agenda forward. Instead they agree to make it easy. With only a handful of exceptions, every Dem in Congress needs to go. Clean house.🧹

The reason the right wants to capture the state is because they think power will make everyone stop laughing at them. If you keep laughing, people braver than you will keep fighting. Ideally do more than laugh. At a minimum, do not stop laughing

Lieu: Trump then ordered the Army Corps of Engineers release over 2 billion gallons of water that almost flooded farmland.. this water was saved for the farmers for summer when they need it. So Trump wasted all this water that isn’t even reaching Southern California for a PR stunt

I think Musk is the kryptonite. No one likes him. I don’t think even Trump, or a good portion of Trumpers, like him. Focus all the negative messaging on him, channel the negative coverage on him. As an added bonus he is super insecure and fragile and he will lose his mind
