trump: I’m going to protect women women: no thank you trump: I’m gonna do it women: please don’t trump: I have kicked those 7 trans girls off the jv volleyball team women: what trump: and brought back andrew tate women: why trump: YOU’RE WELCOME WOMEN also you can’t vote anymore

Techbros and Conservatives formed an alliance based on their shared interest: That it should be illegal to make fun of them online

I'll go one step further. Those "false claims" are seen as PROOF of Tate's value. He's getting "lies told" because he's good, not bad. The delusion runs deep.

This is baked into the reasoning behind why men actually benefit from abuse allegations. They are instantly viewed as the wronged party, while the victim is subject to investigation of their assumed lies. The perpetrator becomes a person in need, deserving support and even better opportunities.

Trump on Putin: “I think he’ll keep his word … we had to go through the Russian hoax together.”

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

I voted for Trump. But when he said he was going to let Elon fire federal workers, I didn't know that meant Elon would fire me.

Someone ask Musk to change a tire

I'm legit astounded by the corps who are chasing a demo that tops out at 15% of the population and will turn on them over the most absurd bullshit regardless, while also guaranteeing that half the population will think "oh, those assholes" about the firm for generations after the dust settles.

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Donald Trump's tax breaks for billionaires and billionaire corporations are NOT "cost free". The real cost will be health care cuts for: - New moms and their babies - Grandma in the nursing home - Kids with disabilities Threatening your health care for billionaire handouts.

We just watched President Musk hold a cabinet meeting: Absolutely unproductive It’s clear who’s really in charge All about trying to please Musk What’s going on here? www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Hard to imagine a more objectively evil scenario than “the richest person on the planet intentionally chooses to prevent poor children from starving to death.” if a comic book supervillain did it you’d think it was implausibly evil. The sort of thing every religion agrees results in Going To Hell

*stares in Mao*

We need nickname for all these idiotic Trump scandals. Like there's no time to rattle off "that time Lee Zeldin tried to steal $20B in green energy appropriations based on a Project Veritas video." Greenbankgate? Goldbarsola? Zelscam? www.publicnotice.co/p/lee-zeldin...

Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just 🤷‍♂️

“Musk's ‘fraud’ rhetoric is presented as an anti-politics, as something fresh and exciting. But it is in fact a politics, a very old sort, the politics of oligarchy.” open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

They're running the Shock Doctrine disaster capitalist playbook on the world's biggest economy--the one that performed better than almost any other industrialized country post-COVID because of Biden's excellent economic stewardship.

My favorite part of the Bezos letter is when he says "we must commit ourselves to freedom by only printing words I personally wish to see"

"The strategy is simple. Claim there’s fraud, dismantle the institutions that prevent fraud, and then capture public dollars for yourself." Policy experts @donmoyn.bsky.social and @pamherd.bsky.social on DOGE operations:

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

No one had died of measles in America for ten years, until yesterday. That 2015 death in WA was preceded by a 12y period of no US deaths. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... HHS Secretary RFK Jr. says it’s “not unusual.” apnews.com/article/meas... It is unusual. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

Not a bad idea -- if House Republicans refuse to hold town halls in their congressional districts, local Democrats should set one of their own up.

I don’t care if they’re making the very best decisions in the history of policymaking—they’re NOT ALLOWED to do ANY of this.

Tired: I will fix it all on day one Wired: enjoy your recession idiots

Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

MSNBC worries about the perception that they’re not fair to R’s while Fox eats an $800m libel settlement to preserve its ability to lie about Ds. That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage. open.substack.com/pub/readtpa/...

A newly hired advisor at DOJ is a former judge who received what was then Oregon's longest-ever suspension for misconduct. He also made the news for "for having hung a picture of Adolf Hitler in his courthouse." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/doj-hir...

The French are actually quite brave unlike the cowardly American journalist.

He also struggles with the concept of "the clear will of the people" as most polls show he and DOGE have underwater approval ratings.

House Republicans just took the first step towards passing their plans to cut health care and hike the cost of groceries for millions of people. Why? To pay for tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations. Working people won't forget this. We need to fight back.

You can make whatever campaign promises you want, but budgets don’t lie. This is the middle-finger Trump gave to 99% of Americans tonight.

it shouldn't be refreshing to see a high ranking dem state incredibly obvious facts yet here we are

Anyone saying the Democrats got their wallets inspected on the vote is, frankly, being either stupid or a wrecker, or both. The GOP flipped their own people. The Dems got their own reps back into the chamber, at least one limping out of a hospital bed, another with her newborn, and they were united.

This. We give elected Dems a lot of guff, but this one is not the Dems' fault. Dems in the House held the line and did all they could.

Warren: "Our best strategy is to make sure everybody knows exactly what the Republicans are trying to do, and that is they want to give literally trillions of dollars in tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires, and they want to pay for it on the backs of seniors who are living in nursing homes."

Evangelicals' spiritual gymnastics:

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt 🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT

Tim Burchett votes yes. massive cuts to health care for poor folks — all to set up massive tax cuts for the rich. They never cared about the debt.

Murphy: "The destruction of our democracy is part of this story ... this is super unpopular, what they are doing. Nobody wants their healthcare to disappear ... so how do you get away with it? You try to destroy our democracy. You try to crush dissent. You threaten members of Congress with arrest."

EXCUSE me?! The unelected, unconfirmed, apparently all-powerful person in charge of destroying our government from within must remain SECRET?! #TrumpCorruption #ThisIsAmerica now

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Hakeem Jeffries is three seats away from the House majority. First he must face a problem that’s familiar to his Senate Democratic colleagues: no clear plan to answer activists clamoring for more anti-Trump fight.

So Trump never really had an issue with criminals entering the country; he just wanted to skim a little off the top when they did. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This man has absolutely no idea whatsoever what Musk is doing, he doesn’t care, and he’s absolutely without question not currently in charge of our government.
