I take the bold stance that misogyny is extremely bad even when it’s applied to white cis straight women with federal jobs who kinda remind you of your mom.

Five things I accomplished last week: 1. Sued Musk & DOGE (repeatedly) 2. Got Musk blocked out of Treasury 3. Sued Trump (repeatedly) 4. Helped persuade SCOTUS to leave anti-Trump injunction in place 5. Got booked @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social Join us at 9 AM ET Sunday morning to discuss!

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Sue the life out of Elon Musk.

So Mad King Elon posted this about two hours ago and I've now seen one of the actual emails. Not going to mention the agency my source works out. But suffice it to say it's entirely shuttered. So everyone there was forced to stop working more than a week ago. The actual email is one is that in ...

Honestly this is just stupid (and a waste of time). Ft Knox is audited every year. As is the Fed, btw

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

What kind of code name is Krasnov, I can come up with like 100 better ones

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Thinking about how there was a whole right-wing Tea Party movement during the Obama years that many assured was motivated by concern over executive power and had nothing at all to do with race.

Does Musk just run a mail order service for his semen or what. (Also: zero sympathy for anyone still getting knocked up by Elon Musk and then getting mad that he's a shitty father, there is NO excuse for your dumb decisions, Ashley St Clair)

Francisca Nazareth my sweet! Equalizing with England at 76' #NationsLeague #PorEng 🇵🇹

My friends in UK and Europe keep sending me alarmed messages. I keep saying basically "I know, I know" but I can see how they would wonder if anyone fucking KNOWS around here.

Trump: "We are the federal law" Governor Mills: "See you in court" At some point judges are going to have to decide which side they are on here.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

I have voted absentee via USPS in every election for roughly twenty years. Including overseas. This wouldn’t be the first time Republicans tried to disenfranchise the military.

"Trump Is Planning to Take Control of the Postal Service, Officials Say" The USPS employs around 600,000 people. Think about the hit to our economy, let alone the employees. BTW: The government doesn't fund the USPS. This is pure privatizing graft. Gift link. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

This is it 👇 #TeslaTakedown

As if this weren't cool enough on its own, a recent DOJ OIG report found that US Marshals special deputation had "insufficient policies and an inadequate oversight structure," and provided warrantless arrest authority for federal misdemeanors even though statute only authorizes this for felonies.

if he dropped an N bomb on stage would you say "he said a slur" or "he made a controversial noise"?

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

NEW: Judge Chutkan sets a two-month briefing schedule on a proposed preliminary injunction against Elon Musk and DOGE for alleged violations of the appointments clause. This was the schedule that plaintiff states requested. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

Look at this lunacy

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.

If you de-zoot the toots here, he’s saying he spent $44b on twitter as part of his right wing political project—which is both obvious and something you can’t say in the newspaper.

sure, mitch mcconnell cynically masterminded the plot to destroy the US constitution and american democracy, but you have to at least credit him with lifting up his own constituents in Kentucky to make it one of our richest and most prosperous... (touching earpiece) wait I'm getting new information

No! If you watch an old video of Elon, like this 2010 tour of SpaceX, it's obvious that he is physically and mentally almost a completely different person. He's dweebier and more earnest, but his cognition and speech are also way more fluid and coherent. youtu.be/0lJWmhpextE?...

Having to do this in a reply to Elon bullshitting about the latest update to his anti-woke chatbot… bleak

The “free speech absolutist” owner of X doesn’t like the output of the Community Notes program he has previously championed, so he puts his massive thumb on that scale to ensure it’s labels align with his twisted view of reality.

The *only* GOP votes against *any* Trump nominees so far: HEGSETH: Collins, McConnell, Murkowski GABBARD: McConnell RFK JR: McConnell PATEL: Collins, Murkowski Cowardice.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau exists to protect Americans from predatory lenders, junk fees, and fraud. Shutting it down does nothing more than give sketchy companies a free pass to prey on the public. We’re not going to let that happen.

worth mentioning again that senate democrats’ plan for strategic confirmation votes in exchange for blocking the worst nominees was a complete failure

Well-meaning articles saying "Musk is searching for Social Security fraud; it's not common though" need to stop even this level of pandering. He is NOT "searching for fraud." He is MAKING FALSE ACCUSATIONS OF FRAUD so that he can weaken/kill the program. Tell the truth or stfu.

Yes, who could have guessed Also...they do studies on whether people like Mark Zuckerberg? What is that for?

they can’t be weaponizing the DOJ, i was specifically told that’s bad

The reporters at Texas Observer have been doing incredible investigative work lately, the kind of work that places like the WaPo used to do with a much larger budget before it got bought up and then slowly hollowed out by a billionaire sycophant who'd rather go into space than live in a democracy.
