I’ve been arguing for four weeks that Trump is basically a ceremonial head of state while Musk is the actual head of government. There is nothing in today’s Cabinet meeting that argues against that theory. Musk has even paid Trump $10M for the privilege! www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

Letter from Thames Water explaining why prices are going up. Not a word - a single word - about the company's perilous financial situation, its massive debts or the billions drained from it in dividends. Being gas-lit by your water company is a profoundly infuriating experience.

Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that Republicans who voted to cut Medicaid and SNAP benefits to give billionaires a fucking tax cut should be hounded about it DAILY until they're voted out of office, every last one of them. CAN I GET AN AMEN?🙏

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

DOJ lawyer just had a rough go of it before Judge Dabney L. Friedrich after claiming that Trump’s Jan. 6 pardon covered conduct committed by a Capitol rioter in Kentucky in 2023. DOJ took precisely the opposite view that they did just a few weeks ago in the Dan Wilson case.

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

Anyone want to bet that no one looks at the email responses that Musk asked for ? It requires too much manpower and organization. Even w/AI He will hold them in the event he has an interaction with someone. If so, he can look up their response or lack of, and use it as cause for action.

Watching Rep Jeffries on Maddow show was dispiriting. Normal responses are ineffective in addressing times that are not normal. Merrick Garland demonstrated that to catastrophic results. We are in the midst of a power grab that is rendering policies & rule of law irrelevant. What do we DO?

Maddow is calling what’s happening with non-white anchors at MNSBC a bad mistake, unnerving, worse than bad, and indefensible. And she calls the dozens of producer layoffs “not the right way to treat people, inefficient, and unnecessary.”

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.
