Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w... I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

The Supreme Court has already ruled by failing to rule on lifesaving assistance. Roberts is on the side of Musk and DOGE and this means they can now rampage through domestic programs. #USAIDSavesLives

Repeat after me: DOGE has already illegally shut down much of the government. DOGE has already illegally shut down much of the government. DOGE has already illegally shut down much of the government. Keep that in mind as Democrats "debate" a continuing resolution "strategy." #ItsAlreadyShutdown

Let's be clear about what Senate Republicans are doing tonight: they're laying the groundwork to pass huge tax cuts for billionaires while cutting vital services for everyone else. Let me explain Trump's great betrayal and how we're fighting back tonight ⬇️

Musk has made over $25,000,000,000 from tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts. That’s $25 Billion we as taxpayers have both given him directly and had to compensate for. You care about the deficit? Great! Give us our fucking money back.

Stop calling what is happening “preventing fraud, waste and abuse.” It’s a money grab from americas middle class to its richest. Stop bullshitting and tax the ultra rich.

This thread is cathartic and also has some reasonable action points for next time I'm frothing in rage trying to find what to actually ask for. I've been more polite than this on the phone (I'm still me) but calling every single morning to remind them that this is where we are now.
