Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

It’s totally unacceptable, Elon Musk is giving Trump political operation ANOTHER $100 million as he giggles with a chain saw and cuts staff, veterans, and needed services. This is NOT what our founding fathers envisioned, an oligarchy in all but name.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

My fellow Americans, we officially hit a new low today. Thanks to felon Trump’s all out assault on democracy, we are now on a civil rights loss warning list with the Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan & Serbia. Nonviolent civil resistance is a must! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk. Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding. They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

One sideline debate that's happened over the past... sigh, decade now... is if federal judges should pretend he's a normal president or acknowledge he's a lawless lunatic much less entitled to the benefit of the doubt. Here you get one judge's bluntly stated answer on that.
