If you read one thing today… www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

He’s really picking the wrong city to fuck with this time. bsky.app/profile/atru...

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

That guy is Executive Director, Naval Sea Systems Command. He's basically the guy in charge of making sure the boats are good boats. And he has to send a frantic email out telling everybody to treat DOGE like a phishing attack.

Elon Musk called Social Security “the largest fraud in history.” The world's richest man is coming to steal your Social Security

this rich asshole in st. louis pointed a gun at some protesters and become a right wing celebrity overnight. conservatives were so enthralled by a guy who threatened to kill liberals that he got recruited to run for senate and raised over a million bucks in individual donations

You work in Hollywood your whole life and you’re just Rust Ham Blimp #svengooloe

I agree with Grok.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Please go ahead and try to fuck with Boston, dickhead.

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

Like obviously high profile people have a higher likelihood of attempts actually being made but it is truly so funny watching him lose his goddamn mind when every trans person I know with any sort of decent public presence gets death threats constantly and we just have to truck through it

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Many people are saying that they’ve never seen federal spending as tremendously efficient and not wasteful as it is today.

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

Hey @halbfinger.bsky.social, could you or someone else at the Times explain how firing a qualified senior general “root[s] out diversity initiatives?” Which initiative specifically did this “root out?”

Illegally cutting cancer research and meals on wheels to pay for PR ads for themselves.

RIP Lynne Marie Stewart, who was so warm and generous playing my mom on several episodes of the Comedy Bang Bang TV show. I have a video of her dancing at the wrap party that I’ll try to dig up. Until then, here she is on our Christmas episode: youtu.be/yfszKSFyFMg

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

200 million dollars of waste.

Eater is more aware of the moment and cares more about its community than college presidents who’ve issued zero guidance.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

wow so all of a sudden its “racist” and “sexist” to indiscriminately fire every woman and minority you can find simply bc you assume they are unqualified based on nothing more than their race and gender?

Man, rest easy Ms. Lynn Marie Stewart.

Rest In Peace, Lynne Marie Stewart.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

sending this every time I don’t get a reaction in the groupchat

Midwestern public service announcement: in very cold weather a slice of cheap-ass bologna will freeze to a car and damage the finish in a way that can't be buffed out. Especially a car that's allegedly stainless steel that gets discolored by ordinary rain! Source: (REDACTED)

Replacing the military brass and attorneys with three-star generals you pluck from retirement is exactly what a dictator looking to use an army to do some violence does.

The thing about Elon Musk's Mars aspirations is that he's never even landed anything on Mars. Musk claims that SpaceX's Mars missions will start in two years. Does Musk look like someone focused on getting to Mars? The dude is a huckster.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

People who did loads of Cocaine, Heroin, LSD, Quaaludes, Marijuana, PCP, Valium, Xanax, Opiods, cigarettes and Jack Daniel's back in the 70's and 80's: "Someone should really investigate how vaccines affect our children."

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

“This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.” - Erin Biba www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Man Knicks are getting their heads caved-in right now, was hoping for a good game.

Someone needs to buy up the first ten rows of the orchestra for Capitol Police officers to show up in uniform.
