It is the result of an entire party of guys who fancy themselves tough, yet will absolutely not stand up, for a single second, to a dipshit delusional senior citizen

Vance is lying (again). Social Security has repeatedly debunked this. The actual claim is that 40 percent of direct deposit fraud occurred via calls to the agency. That is wholly different, and massively less, than 40 percent of calls being fraudulent. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u...

when I taught intro econ I used to go through this story with marginal tax rates and tell them it would be on the exam. I would do a review session and tell them it would be on the exam. One-third still got it wrong.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

The Great Depression didn't especially help the rich. Let's not imagine the Trump team are super-geniuses pretending to be morons. They are in fact morons and they are kicking our asses. That's the way it is.

I remain stunned that we don’t have a half dozen Democratic senators competing to see who can be the biggest thorn in Trump’s side.

DOGE “seemed unsure” of what USAID programs they cut and is now attempting to reverse some of the cuts, says @propublica.org reporter Brett Murphy. “This is the opposite of a careful review."

I mean, it’s not great that only 5 of 9 Supreme Court justices believe in the Constitution, but a win is a win.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Has Elon Musk ever apologized for his idiocy about millions of dead people getting Social Security or can't he figure out how an apology works?

Got a printer? You can start fighting fascism. Here's a thread of things you can print and distribute. 👇 I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.
