Not sure why everyone isn’t talking about this: DC police wanted to arrest this GOP Rep for assaulting a non-spouse woman, but US Atty Ed Martin’s (“Trumps’ lawyer”) office won’t sign the warrant.

“Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about ‘credible death threats’ when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary” and “if people want to understand Trump, they should read the 2006 book Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work.” #ncpol

A month ago this National Park Service website for Stonewall said “LGBTQ+,” then it said “LGBQ+,” and now it just says “LGB.” It’s like that poem about them coming for you in real time.

Trump/Musk seems like classic V.C. pitch dynamics. “Disrupt” this, “blockchain” that, doubtful he knows what they’re talking about. Right now he’s snowed & thinks he’s landed the golden goose, but he doesn’t have any patience as an investor. When the returns don’t materialize, he’ll cut them loose.

Who knew that pardoning people for storming federal buildings would lead to more storming federal buildings?

Brace for Twitter Files: Govt Edition. How will you react to news that $X mil of USAID funding over a decade is unaccounted for? To some fed. contractor (a competitor of SpaceX) having DMed mean stuff about Trump on Twitter? To “analysis” that tax-preferred 529s are mostly used by coastal libs?

People saying Elon’ll steal the trillions of Treasury dollars he just hacked, but I bet the whole plot is cross-referencing it with Twitter DMs he also controls. If you’re a contractor, federal employee, or retiree who ever said something mean about Trump on Twitter, hope your checks still clear.

Annie Clark is historically the best Kurt stand-in, but here there’s something wrong with her earpiece maybe. Otherwise, indulge yourself in this thrill: Annie, Kim Gordon, Joan Jett and Violet Grohl with surviving Nirvana at Fire Aid.

NEW: Elon Musk's friends have infiltrated another government agency, and they're trying to use White House credentials to access General Services Administration tech, giving them the potential to remote into laptops, read emails, and more, sources say: www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

If I were a good government with an intelligence service, I’d be getting all the deets I could about Trump appointees (the rape settlements, the Assad visits, etc.) and blackmailing them into stuff like staying in NATO and building high-speed railroads.

Hoping whoever has the goods on Hegseth’s rape case will do cool blackmail like forcing him to stay in NATO instead of bad blackmail like giving Poland to Russia.

Disasters will destroy community after community. People online will make more and more outlandish excuses to explain why the disasters aren’t what they clearly are. And profiteers and opportunists will profit right up to the very end. www.motherjones.com/environment/...
