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...

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

This is even more unconstitutional than usual. Article I gives Congress the power to establish the post office. It cannot be "dissolve[d]" by the Executive.

everyone who gets in bed with trump ends up screwed but nonetheless a significant portion of political media did the “but it might work for us” bit, truly incredible given the amount of times he talked about them as the enemy and traitors.

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

this fucking faux-serious, take him literally but not seriously, what’s the harm in discussing it, just asking questions shit over the last three decades isn’t the only reason musk is about to destroy social security and trump wants to seize gaza, but it is very definitely a large part of the story

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

sort of tangential point to the open white nationalism here but “only elected democrats care about social security and medicare and for craven reasons” is a stunningly clueless, politically suicidal thing to say, open question whether it’s confident ignorance or an antidemocratic sense of impunity

👀 “[I]f there is an intent to punish perceived enemies, someone could erase your earnings record, making it impossible to collect the Social Security and Medicare benefits you have earned.” Powerful warning from @socialsecurityworks.org as Musk’s DOGE hacks reportedly are breaching Soc Sec Admin.

Most Americans have no idea that anything unusual is happening. This is probably the weirdest I’ve ever felt as an observer of politics, aware that the whole world is locked into a new order and equally aware that I can’t talk to the average person about it.

Musk and his army of dipshits on Twitter keep pointing to Bill Clinton’s federal worker reduction in the 1990s to defend Trump. The difference? Congress passed a law that Clinton signed, he didn’t just get the nearest billionaire to illegally start dismantling the government based on his whims.

Really is it so hard to see the political value of "Trump just wrecked your local schools and universities by illegally withholding payment" or "Trump just fired thousands of veterans for no apparent reason" or "Trump just released your SSN and financial data to a bunch of 20-something Nazis"?

This is why there’s been so much silence as Black history and Black books are being purged, and integration efforts dismantled. Many Democrats think the purges are valid and necessary. “Candidly, the attack on over-the-top wokeism was a valid attack."

You see the same misunderstanding around the phrase “banality of evil” when they assume it means Nazis were boring when it actually means everyone was a Nazi. No one wanted to be anything else. To not be a Nazi was deviant behaviour
