Elon Musk just moved ANOTHER $1 MILLION into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race. That brings Musk’s spending on behalf of a right-wing takeover of the court to 2.5 MILLION over one week. This is a major intervention in state politics—and the fight for control of the judiciary—by the world’s richest man.

For a US government that hates DEI, it's curious that the Secretary of State is Cuban, the FBI director is Indian, the DNI head is Samoan-Indian, and the President is South African.

I went slumming on X for a bit. There’s group with accounting expertise that are investigating DOGE’s fraud claims. Misrepresentation of ‘fraud’ findings. More than once the statement was made that DOGE,rather than finding fraud,is committing it.

The Wurman/Barnett op/ed is the next step in normalizing the frivilous birthright citizenship argument. In a few months, conservatives will contend that the only reason liberals didn't take the argument seriously is because of their blindspots. By then, judges will feel comfortable endorsing it.

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far once and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in power fuck workers over, the French stop working. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

Here's @oliverdarcy.bsky.social describing how the big national newsrooms characterized Kash Patel as they reported on his appointment. www.status.news/p/cbs-evenin... "Conspiracy theorist" and "Trump loyalist" are both factually correct. So it becomes a question, not of accuracy, but of truth.

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.

The Patel confirmation is perhaps the darkest, most damning moment in the whole cabinet confirmation process. He was already clearly one of the least qualified based on his past actions and rhetoric. But the late-breaking news that he was coordinating firings before being confirmed was astonishing.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.
