This is good simple messaging.

Why is @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social on book tour instead of doing a fight back tour?

Always like to see a drunken, incoherent shitbag pass judgment on someone whose boots he's not fit to clean. About one step away from the "What do you call a black man with a Ph.D./four stars on his epaulets?" question

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.

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.

So...now that our DUI Hire Pete Hegseth fired highly qualified CQ Brown for allegedly being too woke, who's our Chairman of the Joint Chiefs? Do we have one right now? Sincere question.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

What the fuck is wrong with Democrats

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

A source recently pointed out to me that for people who have a double-digit number of billions of dollars, economic crashes are great. Limited impact on their life, and they buy up assets at a discount.

Here's Rep Tom Kean Jr in September, sponsoring a bill to boost military aid for Ukraine & denouncing Putin's "unprovoked aggression." Hey Tom! You gonna stay silent while Trump blames the victim and cuts a deal with Putin, awarding his aggression? Speak up, Tom! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGMt...

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

There’s something happening in this country.

what would a foreign adversary do differently as part of a coordinated attack

the stock market is now below where it was when Joe Biden left office

Is there nothing the psuedo-intellectual fake engineer can't do

Holy Julia Sugarbaker.

Look people. Democrat? Republican? It doesn't matter. No one wants their wealth plundered by nazis. Push your members of Congress to impeach these motherfuckers and throw them prison.

Doesn't know what AI is, doesn't know what duplicitous means, doesn't know what the CDC does.

American Pundits: It was an exuberant and controversial gesture of uncertain significance… Actual Fascists: It’s a Nazi salute.

Oh wow, what a crazy random happenstance.

This is a solidly red district in Georgia. Republicans are really starting to feel the pressure — let’s keep turning up the heat. Your representatives are back home for congressional recess and we’ve got events planned around the country (including Tesla dealerships). LFG: indivisible.org/muskorus

Genuinely couldn't believe this figure until I saw the Financial Times confirm it using Meta's own financial reporting data For THIS $100 billion is genuinely the kind of money you could "do the impossible" with. Crack nuclear fusion. HIV vaccine. Universal flu vaccine And they spent it on this

Another mixture of incompetence and malice. Employee credit cards are easier to track than an endless stream of checks, and correspondingly they're cheaper because you need less admin work and employees spend less time in arduous request/reimbursement processes.

#NJ Long Branch

the time for “a real defeat” was 2020, when virtually every condition lined up for a massive Trump/GOP W.-style rebuke that sent him away politically forever and his party into the wilderness, and what voters delivered in the three states that mattered was “if the wind blew a different way…

bannon was not “mimicking elon musk”, he was “being a nazi”. hope that helps.

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.

Once again the public is ahead of Democratic leaders

Not sure what more could be needed than "the Mayor indicted for corruption has entered into a quid pro quo to change his policies in exchange for dropping the charges, a indisputable fact made clear in writing by multiple DOJ officials and confirmed in TV interviews with the Mayor."

The richest man in the world being handed all of the trappings of public office, with zero accountability

A. Book. Tour.

What would you call it if you saw it somewhere else?

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

They could be big damn heroes and make a big deal out of it too.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

I’m more worried about the coup than Hakeem Jeffries and I simply think that should be the other way around

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Eyes, ears, and notes apps open, my loves! #democracynotdictatorship #peopleoverprofits #mybodymyvote #thecontrarian open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

This is pretty straightforward authoritarianism: if you don't support my toxic businesses, I will use my government power to kneecap yours.

“I want our elected democratic officials to start engaging in civil disobedience,” Chris Kluwe “Right now, no one is willing to step up and do that. So, if I want to ask them to do it, then I have to be willing to do it too.” Thank you @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.
