wait this can't be right, we have two business geniuses at the helm

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... What am I missing? This seems like a normal thing, but it would literally be the first one in a month.

People who are saying that republican farmers not getting their aid are FAFO or leopards or whatever are missing the point. They'll get their aid, even while blue states and liberals don't. The point is to make them clearly and explicitly dependent on the good graces of Trump and Musk.

Every single fucking day has been worse than any administration in at least a century and a half.

I just watched that clip of Elon talking to the Newsmax host while high & I have nothing funny to say. Just... it's starkly terrifying that a drug-addicted Nazi billionaire has taken control of the US government, & that that is not in the least a hyperbolic or subjective summary of what is going on.

The Republican Senate knows that these people are unqualified and selected only because of their willingness to support Trump and persecute his enemies. They can see already how damaging Hegseth and Bondi are, and they know it will bite them on the ass. They are evil, foolish, and cowardly.

Wow, New York. At the city and state level, you sure know how to pick 'em! Seriously, no fucking guardrails. No warnings. The lesson people learn about crimes going unpunished is that they can commit more crimes.

Fucking pathetic.

Hive mind: is there any ride share which excludes Teslas, or for which I can opt out of ever riding one? I don’t want to incentivize anyone ever buying one of those fash cars.

As a side note to the current debate about "winning normies," does it maybe occur to folks that anyone who would vote for Trump after seeing him as president for 4 years and then another 4 of deranged ranting/campaigning/defending himself in court aren't really normies?

A lot of what Trump and his lackeys are doing is patently illegal. But a lot of it, like firing as many people at as many agencies as possible is not legal. It’s just harmful and profoundly stupid.

Hey, Republicans. If you ever believed in anything, ya fucked up.

An unconscionable post from Donald Trump about Zelenskyy, in which he calls him a "dictator" and threatens Ukraine's existence.

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

Colleges are under pressure from White House over diversity (DEI) but no big school has bent the shameful knee of obeying in advance harder or faster than Trump and Musk's alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania My new column on the strangling of academic freedom www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Honestly, given how in the tank literally every major network and newspaper and social media platform are for this administration, it is surprising that we are doing as well as we are.

Trump just blamed Ukraine outright for Russia’s invasion. ‘You shoulda never started it,’ he said. What a lie, a Russian lie—from the President of the US.

Here's the problem. The press is terrible and people are stupid, so if you're waiting for Trump's support to collapse, you're going to be waiting for a while. Morning Consult has had him at constant +2-3 net approval for 3 weeks straight.

Because so much of our budget is spent on boondoggles like spacex (not scientists and park rangers) I think we’ll find at the end of this that we’ve saved almost no money but have completely crippled the country.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.
