Some have disappointed, some have bad policy, some made big mistakes. But I’ve never in my life been ashamed of American leaders. Until today.

If standing next to Rudy Giuliani at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping conference wasn't disqualifying for Pam Bondi, refusing to straightforwardly say at her hearing that Joe Biden was legitimately elected sure is.

One of the last good anchors over there. I knew Trump would try to destroy the fourth estate, but it sad to see them destroying themselves in advance.

If people knew how often health corporations overcharged taxpayers, their heads would spin. I worked on one case where they were gouging active duty service members by overcharging for breast pumps. Just one of thousands of examples media.defense.gov/2023/Jul/31/...

even in 2025's media landscape, this story is jawdropping: Jim Acosta's morning CNN ratings are often higher than most of even the primetime anchors, but they wanna move him to midnights just to appease Trump (props to @oliverdarcy.bsky.social on yet another big scoop)

“They don’t love our country, they only think about themselves” is not only a weird way to describe the standard rituals for a dead president but also a hell of a projection

one more thing; this is why effective altruism is neither effective nor altruistic. obsessively focusing on this utilitarian idea of doing the absolute best with every dollar becomes a massive distraction from actually helping anyone.

Happy Friday. There are 696 days until the midterm elections. Republicans are still protecting Matt Gaetz, billionaires are about to break America and Elon Leon bought himself a presidency. www.thealtmedia.com/p/billionair...

RBG PAC’s $20M last-minute pro-Trump abortion campaign wasn’t just shady (and completely opposed by RBG’s surviving family members)—it was fully bankrolled by Elon Musk, new campaign finance reports show. Billionaire meddling in our elections must be stopped.

In the past corrupt oligarchs had to illegally bribe elected officials. Today thanks to the corrupt gop Supreme Court’s rulings, oligarchs like Elon musk can LEGALLY spend $250 million to buy a president. Time to take the power from the oligarchs and give it back to the people!!

Here's a graphic explaining how the Big Lie was seeded and mobilized into the events of January 6, 2021 through a kind of "participatory disinformation" process. Trump's "war on drugs" refrain could catalyze a similar kind of participatory propaganda and mobilization cycle.

My thoughts on the insanity we’re witnessing: a shadow president, an unelected billionaire, working to dismantle our institutions with a fake, non-governmental agency, all while the media treats Musk's actions as if they’re perfectly normal.

Cassidy Hutchinson is one of the many people on Trash Patel's hit list. Her "crime"? She testified before the j6 committee. She was pressured by Trump's camp to downplay what she knew. She did not. This is one of the many reasons Trash Patel cannot have any role in law enforcement.
