1. It’s WSJ reporter. 2. Even when the Trump Admin fires one of their own, it is The Media’s fault. We made them do it. 3. Americans have a right to know the names of people running the country. 4. This is a time for journos to be fearless because this is part of the deal now.

This is why Space Caligula throttles posts with external news links on X. He encourages users to post their made up “citizen journalism” and conspiracy theories directly on to his platform. It’s much easier to manipulate vibes than it is to argue with facts.

Pam Bondi has aced every loyalty test Donald Trump ever issued, including her early, active role in amplifying lies about the 2020 presidential election. Bondi placed loyalty to Trump ahead of the Constitution in 2020, and there’s every reason to believe she will continue to do the same in the…

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Hey Bluesky! I’m here. Yes, I’m still a bit stunned by my prescient tweet (below) 14hrs before the tragic DC crash, after which many of you encouraged me to finally gravitate to here. Happy to belatedly join the community. Tom

This makes more sense when you remember 3 things: 1. He doesn’t want people who do their jobs, only what he tells them to do. 2. He wants to privatize everything so he can give contracts to his friends and donors. 3. Less oversight means he can get away with more.

Kaine: "The president has two Republican houses. If he wants to cut the budget, he's go majorities in both houses. He could just work with them to do it the lawful way...that he's not doing that means he doesn't have confidence that the GOP leadership will go along with the extremity of his actions"

Rescinding money that Congress authorized is unconstitutional. Telling kids that they need to go work in the factory after school so they can pay for lunch is immoral. Saying all this just to get in Trump's good graces is sycophantic. Offensive on every level.

This was obviously a straight-up lie, but according to the shrewd White House Correspondent from the @nytimes.com, "it was delivered with such fiery passion and steely-eyed resolve and, oh my God, is she my new crush? I'm writing Mr. Karoline Leavitt in cursive on my notepad over and over again!"

I’m confused how awarding 4 years of back pay in a lump sum to 8,000 service members who were discharged for refusing to get vaccinated is good for the morale of the other 99% of troops who spent the last 4 years working their asses off on active duty for that same pay.
