This thing looks like trump's signature

November 2024: Trump will save the economy March 2025: We have returned to subsistence agriculture

HHS employees received two emails this morning about new requirement to reply to DOGE's "what did you do last week" email. I'm reproducing the text verbatim. First (left) sent at 6:44am, second (right) about an hour later.

Clearly maintaining the White House dress code is very important

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Again, the richest man in human history personally individually directed this

The phantom foul on Jaylen Clark guarding Austin Reaves

It's still hard to believe that an embittered ex-boyfriend writing a blog post about his game developer ex-girlfriend is one of the most pivotal things that happened in America in the last 15 years.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Straightforward from here 1. DOGE cuts $50 million in govt spending 2. Falsely calls it $50 billion 3. Sends every taxpayer a share of that $50 billion as a savings "dividend" 4. Republicans add $5 trillion in tax cuts 5. GOP complains about deficit under next Democratic administration

Interesting data in light of current events. More about welfare queen Elon Musk: www.profgalloway.com/elon-musk-we...

That GOAT talk was premature for Mahomes. He’s incredible. Maybe already the second-best QB ever. But the talk got a little out of hand for a guy four Lombardis behind Brady.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Camelot Hotel reference in Maria Ressa’s How to Stand Up to a Dictator: The Fight for Our Future. I used to pass by this hotel daily on my way to work. I feel like I am traveling in time reading Maria’s stories about the Philippines after her return from the US.

Pitch for a new spy movie: a CIA agent spends years getting close to a terrorist suspect then just before he gets the crucial piece of evidence he’s fired and replaced with a teenager who doesn’t speak any foreign languages but does have a lot of followers on X. Everybody dies.

Clear-eyed, direct NYT op-ed by @jamellebouie.net using the kind of non-euphemistic language the headlines should embrace:

“Having a president—or, even more so, an unelected billionaire—hold direct, granular control of nearly seven trillion dollars is power beyond the Founders’ wildest dreams.” From @epopppp.bsky.social in @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/personal-dis...

It looks like a punchline 🤣

Need the emergency pod @billsimmons.bsky.social 😂😂😂

Leopard: I will eat your face Bank analysts: Our baseline assumes no face-eating Leopard: Chomp chomp chomp

This was so nasty from Maxey during crunch time last night. A lot of people have checked out of the Sixers season but he's taken yet another leap mid-season.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

If only there were a shorter English word for "makes misleading claims".

Jennings: This salute trutherism is outrageous.  Rampell: Do it right now on TV! If you think it’s a normal way to greet people, do it right now on TV. Why won’t you?!

Philip Low who was a long-time friend and peer of Elon Musk giving his thoughts on the current day version. Its distressing we live in a society which seems incapable of dealing with a private individual wielding this amount of power to the detriment of society as a whole.

Trump's immigration crackdown is not about law & order. He has a vendetta against immigrants who followed the law, too His EOs threaten to punish legal immigrants by doubling their taxes (invoking a never-used 1934 law); expatriating their kids; and blocking them from the US entirely wapo.st/4hkbEB6

What would you say went wrong

Nikola Jokić joins Wilt Chamberlain as the only player in NBA history to record 30/20/15 in a game 🔥

January 23, 2005: A circus shot by San Antonio's Manu Ginóbili in Sacramento. Ginóbili finished with 10 PTS (4-8 FG) and Tim Duncan had 23 PTS (11-19 FG)/13 REB in the Spurs' 103-73 win. Mike Bibby scored a team-high 13 PTS and Brad Miller had 10 PTS/14 REB for the Kings.

i’m doing my part! 🫡

The best trade of the 2020s so far has been going long grifters, charlatans, liars and cheats I cannot wait for this trade to blow up in spectacular fashion (it always does)
