Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

One of the things you learn as you read the history of the Weimar Republic is that some people saw what was coming but were completely ignored. It's never completely unforeseeable, it's just that most aren't paying attention or are consumed by normalcy bias.

This is the guy Trump is installing as FCC chair. The point here, IMO, is not that he’s going to go in and start yanking licenses. But by saying things like this he can intimidate broadcasters into covering the Trump administration more favorably.

Trump is telling us that he’s going to fire hundreds of thousands, deport tens of millions, kick tens of millions off their healthcare & cut hundreds of millions in social programs and Ma and Pa MAGA STILL believe all of this shit is going to help them in some fucking way. Narrator: it’s not.

Well, isn’t that convenient? Musk gets named to the fake department of DOGE, and suddenly NASA’s future is up for debate—just as SpaceX is poised to cash in. Funny how “efficiency” seems to mean redirecting public funds straight into private pockets.

The vibes shift fast: Republicans already feeling “happier” about “the economy” There has to be a counternarrative that connects their policies with some accountability, or they will always think “Dems = money for Those Other People”

The problem with pieces like this, which are countless, is the prevailing media assumption that left-of-center Americans need constant corrective instruction about how to be in and engage with the world, whereas right-of-center Americans are simply to be observed in awe, like rainbows or mountains.

The culture here makes it possible. After Jan 6th I privately confronted Mace for lying about my story bc she too was terrified in her office. I said as another assault survivor you know how harmful what you did is. Why? She said “whatever you know it’s a game, just points on the board” Uhh no???

Love to ban trans women from capitol restrooms in order to “protect women and girls” while suppressing a report about the incoming attorney general paying for the statutory rape of a minor while in congress and showing women’s nudes on the House floor

The House Ethics Committee has voted not to release the Matt Gaetz report containing credible allegations of sexual misconduct including rape of a minor and sex trafficking. 5 Republicans and 5 Democrats each voted, and the parties deadlocked. Guess which side voted to cover up the crimes?

Thanks to everyone who made calls and sent letters to their Senators and Reps today, including to House Ethics Cmte members. Tomorrow they'll meet and could vote to release the Gaetz Report. If they don't, we keep pushing.

As I’ve been screaming, this is NOT about the election, it’s a National Security issue. Russia declared war on the United States, and we’re busy preparing for a “smooth transition.” Christ!

At the end of last year, as he began pivoting toward open support for Trump, Elon Musk started pushing fellow disinformation merchant Alex Jones hard on Twitter users. Now, less than a year later, he's mysteriously sent his lawyers to intervene in Jones' bankruptcy case. www.cnn.com/2023/12/11/t...

Just absorbing the fact that the first order of business in the new QAnon-inflected MAGA Republican era is to demand that Congress bury its report on sex trafficking and drug allegations against a Republican member of Congress who they're trying to promote to higher office.
