It's not a loss if you intend to simply ignore the ruling.

I'm shocked.

A few years from now, I wonder how often the courts will hear 'But I was just following orders, and the President told me thatr as long as I was saving my country, it wasn't illegal.'

Elon at CPAC 2025 Yep, the ketamine is really kicking in tonight! Seriously man, do you know how high and silly you look?

This. THIS! If you read nothing else today, read this. THIS is why SO MANY politicians are criminally silent on Trump's autocratic takeover. They are silent because they - quite rightfully - fear Trump's rabid, & heavily armed, cult members, who are already threatening them & their families.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Oops @meidastouch.com

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org files emergency lawsuit to halt DOGE from taking taxpayer data at the IRS. Visit Democracy Docket for full coverage. www.democracydocket.com

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

The Musk Ad The Wash Post Refused To Run Today #ABlueView🧵1/3 "Washington Post refuses to run $115K ad titled ‘Fire Elon Musk" tinyurl.com/yrmhbmf9 It would be a shame if you reposted this as more people will see the ad. And your Senators don't want to hear from you either!

A >very< interesting read.

I think Carrie forgot that, thanks to the Supreme Court, he is now immune from prosecution. And that, as amply demonstrated with both the Jan 6th rioters and the Mayor Adams scandal, no-one carrying out his illegal orders will ever face justice either.

Elon's DOGE is going to be America's Brexit, full of unintended consequences and buyer's remorse.

Elon musk now has 13 kids. We can expect that DOGE will layoff at least a few of them

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Exactly the kind of top-drawer fiscal management that you have entrusted your entire federal government to.

Thank you!

Accurate.

2024 was the deadliest year for journalists, and nearly two-thirds of them were killed by Israel. The silence about this isn't negligence. It's a calculated decision by our leaders to let authoritarian regimes know that killing reporters is a permissible tool of repression.

Stand by for a serious Revenge of the Nerds.

Those who uphold the rule of law save their country.

😂

'Clip' them?? More like pluck the poor bird until he looks like your Thanksgiving turkey.

I mean, by killing immigrants, you are, by definition, 'He who saves his country', right?

This is so vile, so disgusting, that it is actually believable.

<sigh> Toronto disappointed us again.

The implication is also that a man violating EVERY law is really, really our saviour!

The incompetance is truly mind-boggling. Inconceivable!

Woke up this morning wondering which of the Washington-based foreign journalists here will end up being their generation’s William Shirer 😬😵‍💫

Mother knows best. She sure was right about him!! 🤣😂🤣

Keep the faith until we see The Revenge Of The Nerds (NOT the 'tech bros' - they are NOT the same as geeks and nerds)

This is EXACTLY how this will be intrepreted. And just as the Supreme Court has given Trump blanket immunity, now Trump has given his followers blanket immunity. And if any of them DO manage to get themselves arrested, there's always the Adams-Bove dismissal precedent on the books now.

There are so many new 'journalism' sites popping up, all claiming to bring the unvarnished truth out into the open. But you can't see it. Incredibly, these sites are mostly employing the same reader-antagonistic tactics as, well, Temu: constant pop-up ads, never-ending requests for donations, etc.

My wife has given me a Valentine's Day envelope addressed to "pudq'snH," which any true devotee of Star Trek will tell you is a Klingon term of endearment, meaning "The One I Will Kill Last," introduced in the classic Next Generation epis- What? (flips envelope 180 degrees) Ohhhhh riiiight got it

Damn pesky financial regulators!

When North Korea thinks you’ve gone too far with crazy shit.

"I will bring down inflation on day one." 😂😂😂😂

It's irrelevant if he's going to ignore all laws he doesn't like.

Well, you know... we're not >BEING< evil, we're just.. going along with the evil.

Inconceivable!
