Looked up why ketamine abusers need 😎 indoors 4. Read court decisions saying Trump & his boss Elon violated laws 5. Made this list

Staffing at the HUD office that pays for housing and support services across the country is slated to be cut by 84%. Advocates warn such heavy cuts could make record-high homelessness even worse.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

“For his part, Musk claims that he purchased Trump outright by spending nearly $300 million on his 2024 campaign.” - @borowitzreport.bsky.social

What?

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

A viral report from Moms Across America claiming dangerous levels of pesticides and heavy metals in Girl Scout cookies has sent parents into a panic. However, a closer look at the science reveals these fears are largely unfounded.

Charlie Kirk again demands Super Bowl halftime shows be performed in the missionary position.

NEW: In its second correction of the night, DOJ tells a federal judge it make factual representations to the court about the status of one of the DOGE bros who had access to the Treasury Dept. systems. This is becoming a pattern I suspect (another) judge will not be happy.

“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”

When we generalize about any group of people , we shut out the people who are on the fence. Trump is going to convince a lot of MAGA to stop supporting him. I'm ok being told I have TDS if the end result is that we convince the 1.5m more people that voted for him, to no longer consider him.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

Daily reminder with these chodes: Every accusation is a confession (and a concession).

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Why do right wingers keep coming into my TL and suggesting we have no idea how much money goes to USAID or what they do with it? Did Elon say that? Are none them capable of looking up government budgets, which are very very public and free on the Internet? www.usaspending.gov/agency/agenc...

2 insurrections, same President.

PRIVACY LESSON: Get a used Pixel phone. Open. Destroy the Mic. Cover the camera. Get usb-c earbuds. Install GrapheneOS and deGoogle the phone. Use a real sim card. Install Signal, Protonmail/vpn, tor. Get an old laptop w/ wired Ethernet. Run TAILS/Linux with same apps. STFU on the open Internet.

Normalize being nice.

Americans are about to learn some economics.

That spontaneous restless movement plays an important role in our health. Here's what to do the next time you find yourself bouncing your knee or clicking and unclicking your pen.

NY Times, Feb. 11, 1933.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

Guys, I hate to even suggest the possibility, but I’m starting to wonder just a teensy-weensy little bit whether maybe, just maybe, FFOTUS wasn’t totally upfront and forthcoming about Project 2025 during the campaign
