This post from @rodhilton.com should be recirculated daily in perpetuity.

How are those egg prices, gas prices, and stock prices doing?

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

Just a reminder that Elon was once pushed down the stairs at school because he mocked a boy's father who had committed suicide. He's always been like this.

All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

He nails it.

Whether it’s USAID, nuclear weapons, the FAA, bird flu, and much more, this fire-first-scramble-to-rehire approach will cost lives. These are not people that know what they’re doing.

Rapid unscheduled disassemblies for everyone! Brought to you by the Musk Administration!

Hard to believe, but I’m starting to think Vance may be even more vile than Trump and Elon.

Another day of the US government being run by the demonstrably most unqualified people possible. Every day is a new blunder. Oh, and those employees that oversee our nuclear weapons that they’re desperately trying to un-fire? They can’t reach them because their contact info is missing. Idiots.

John Adams rose from the grave to directly respond to Trump today.

Europe just stood up. This is the way!

I've heard multiple times that if Senate confirmations were done with a secret ballot, none of Trump's nominees would've been confirmed. Okay. So what? All that tells me is that Republican senators continue to put themselves ahead of the country and what they know to be right. Do the right thing.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Stephen Miller: if impotent rage were a person

If Kendrick’s performance was DEI, then the country needs a hell of a lot more of it.

WTF HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Trump: But President Putin wants to have peace now, and that’s good. And he didn’t want to have peace with Biden. And you tell me why that is. We’ll all tell you why, Donald. Because he sees you as a schmuck. Everyone would rather negotiate with a team of schmucks than a team of the qualified.

Pope Francis, in his letter to US bishops today, corrected JD Vance’s deliberate perversion of the concept of ordo amoris.

We’re done here. Right?

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

I just listened to Anderson Cooper ask Senator Klobuchar about the US Marshals scenario and the senator said let's wait and see. Please have a plan in advance!

I sincerely hope that everyone has been doing their best to raise their sons and monitor their content since 2016. The normalization and idolization of behavior we once collectively agreed was unacceptable is shameful. We do not need a generation of young men emulating the weak men in power today.

1/You need to have a plan for the increasingly realistic scenario that the admin refuses to follow court orders. Do not depend on the public to create the plan for you @raskin.house.gov @aoc.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @govpritzker.illinois.gov

It sure would be awful if people continued to throw food at his suite during the game today and obstructed the view. So very awful… 😇

Here’s how @rokhanna.bsky.social could’ve responded: 1. He’s no kid. He’s 25 and posted those vile tweets last year. And you know that. 2. Normalization of racism is always a threat. 3. What you ignorantly mislabel as emotional blackmail is what a moral person with a spine would call guilt. 1/2

Abolishing the Department of Education will further decimate rural schools... And, for what? The Dept of Ed does not write curriculum -- that is done at the local and state level. The funding from the department mostly supports economically disadvantaged school systems. The poorest schools...

Per WaPo: Elon Musk's DOGE is feeding sensitive federal data into Al to target cuts Anyone in tech will tell you this is a profoundly dangerous and stupid idea. Even those outside of tech know not to feed sensitive information into AI software. The incompetence and recklessness is astounding.

These are Twitter posts by the guy who was hacking into the Treasury payments system. Maybe JD (whose wife is Indian-American) and Kash Patel might want to pay attention? www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money? Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

During my former life, I accepted being shot at, dodging IEDs and the occasional rocket…Let me tell you, waking up to yet another Fork in the Road email knowing it originated from a 19-y/o incel at the behest of an oligarch has me enraged like never before.

Dems must continue to frame Trump’s daily insanity in economic terms for independent and working-class voters: How is what he’s done so far lowering prices for you? How is what he’s doing making it easier for you to live? Point out his crypto grifting. Point out his block of federal funding.

One thing the Dems must learn how to do is to keep repeating the most effective lines of attack and to not drop them for the newest horror of the day. That is one thing they must learn from the Republicans. There are enough in the party to walk and chew gum at the same time. Repeat, repeat, repeat!

Trump during the presser said he wants the US to take over Gaza and the Palestinians to be permanently relocated to other countries—all while praising the beauty of the area and its value for real estate development. I would say he’s lost his mind, but this is what many of us said he was going to do

I respect @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, but this strategy will cost us the midterms. This is social media, not baseball. You cannot continue crowdsourcing your messaging and "swing" once in a blue moon. (1/2)

I remember hearing throughout the beginning of the LA fires that they were the result of "mismanagement." You know what's mismanagement? Ordering the Army Corps of Engineers to release 2.2 billion gallons of water onto a dry lake bed in Central CA that has no way of getting to Southern CA. 1/2

@repjasmine.bsky.social killed it on @lauracoates.com tonight eviscerating Darren Beattie. We are all privileged to have her serving in Congress.
