HOLY FUCKIN SHIT

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

In 2010, the Supreme Court paved the way for unlimited spending in U.S. elections. In a possibly related story, the richest man in the world is basically the president now ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Me: A sandwich is a book made of bread that tells the story of the ingredients Bank clerk: *frantically pressing the silent alarm*

I'm sure he's wearing blackout shades for normal reasons.

Gary the Canadian Adventure Cat would like to remind America that if it invades Canada, its children will die, scared, alone and frozen.

The coming backlash is so intense that it activated the political instincts of Kathy Hochul, a person not previously known to have any political instincts at all.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

A labor economist told KCUR's Up To Date that Kansas City does not have enough available jobs in the area to make up for all the local federal workers getting laid off by the Trump administration.

We're still getting this drip-drip of stories implying mounting evidence for a lab leak (despite no actual evidence). Meanwhile, the increasingly strong case for zoonosis rarely makes headlines.

if we're gonna get through whatever the fuck we're in right now, at certain points you gotta just shut blatant lies like this down without any hemming and hawing. just like, 'oh that's cute the white house said that. they're wrong.'

Summarizing Elon Musk's government takeover thus far in under 60 seconds:

Framingham MA

Ok not the main point but Elon's eyes are at Lou Reed recording Sister Ray levels of speed freaking

this is the suspect firing the cops (an increasingly common theme)

This is like if the mob got to fire every federal agent investigating organized crime bsky.app/profile/make...

The small domino has fallen, the hot dog that kills me is now inevitable

Yes, we let a rich idiot nobody elected destroy the entire government, but it was that or make rich people pay taxes so that poor people could go to the doctor

This is so incredibly, goofily stupid—a slapstick level of dumbass, self-defeating, wasteful procurement even if it’s somehow not as corrupt as it looks—but I suspect absolutely no one is going to prevent it from happening. What an embarrassment. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

What is John Fetterman's role in the Democratic party if not to present a credible threat of hammer-throwing the fash dweebs doing this. You have this goon who is basically the same size as Scot Pollard and he's just sending sour ROFL emojis to Mehdi Hasan and being weird to reporters. USE THE OAF.

Crypto guy in 2014: Crypto will revolutionize finance and change how we interact with money Crypto in 2025:

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

Similar stories popping up with USAID, where some employees have not had system access restored despite a court order. This is the worst case scenario, and we're going to see if it's a blip or the end of co-equal branches of government. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's important to remember that any principled effort to remove fraud from America's public life would start with an all-out push to prosecute and imprison Elon Musk. There is no bigger fraudster alive today.

tired: no ethical consumption under capitalism wired: no undefaced teslas under whatever this is

Once again, this is because all of this is a job for Congress, under Article I of the Constitution. The Framers could not imagine legislators so cravenly lacking ambition & fealty to oaths that they would let the president run amok like Mad King George. Nor did they intend the courts to fix this.

So, have we established yet whether the Treasury Secretary knowingly lied to Congress about someone having access to our financial payments system? Because that feels like a question we should get answered

It's all happening on X, the everything app

Hold on I need to come up with a LEMON PARTY acronym

NEW: An internal email obtained by WIRED from a threat intelligence team monitoring US Treasury systems advised labeling DOGE operatives an "insider threat," adding that it recommended suspending their access "immediately." | www.wired.com/story/treasu...

It will be my honor to remake US passenger aviation in the image of SpaceX, which hasn’t had a rocket explode in over three weeks. by Elon Musk

I desperately need to see one of these awful people suffer a consequence

Leader of some aliens who followed our radio signals back to Earth and specifically requested a meeting with Rob Thomas: And you have brought Carlos Santana with you? Rob Thomas: Uh, no, I didn't realize I was supposed to. Alien leader (frowning, as consternated muttering begins behind him): Hmm.

Three Democrats are saying Ro Khanna was given a heads-up about the vote to subpoena Elon Musk, and accusing him of intentionally missing the vote in the House Oversight Committee. (Khanna, who has ties to Musk, has said he was unaware.) www.politico.com/live-updates...
