Please stop saying we are heading towards authoritarianism. We are there.

Paul Weiss is going to be the Arthur Andersen of law firms. They were bribed. They folded immediately. And they’re gonna be finished anyway. They whored themselves out for nothing.

Want to know why Fattyshack is attacking Canada? This photo is all you need to know. Not policy. Not economic interest. Not even an imperialist streak. Jealousy. Pure and simple. The man is a child.

Saying it loudly for the people in the back (and also that miscreant, Lunatick- er Lutnick: Social security is OUR MONEY. We paid it in, the government had the use of it for decades, and when we are old, we get to take it back. More like a savings account than a Ponzi scheme

His approval ratings are in the crapper and not only doesn’t he care, but none of the GOP Senators cares either. It’s almost like they’re not worried about winning another free and fair election. Now why would that be?

I want to support great writing. I’m willing to pay to subscribe. But if you’re charging as much or more than a magazine w/staff, rent, bureaus around the world, printing mailing and distribution costs, and all you have is you, likely at home, writing…doesn’t sit well with me. Thoughts?

Every time they say Russian Hoax, we quote this GOP-lead investigation report The Trump campaign’s interactions w/Russian intelligence services (in the) 2016 election posed a grave counterintelligence threat…associates of Trump had regular contact w/Russians and expected to benefit from…their help.

This is the level of insanity- Veep level crazy- that’s running the country right now.

This made me laugh… but none of it is funny. It’s a calculated plan to destroy our country as we know it so that he can turn it into a kleptocracy, oligarchy- whatever will enrich him most.

Why isn’t everyone talking nonstop about the fact that Trump has halted all monitoring of Russian cyber attacks on the US?? I’m no cybersecurity expert, but a halt means they can install spyware that will still be there when the pause is lifted… right? Call me crazy, but this seems like a BFD.

These are people who are suing for the right to let life- saving food supplies rot rather than give them to starving children. That’s who these people are. And millions of Americans voted for them knowing full well who they were. It’s sickening.

I know we always say there is no bottom. But please God, let this be it. www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar...

All of this: -the firing of military leaders and JAG officials -The appointments of incompetent cabinet members -the takeover of the Kennedy Center -the removal of information from government websites This is all only PREPARATION for what they’re planning. I hope we survive what comes next.

Me too.

2.9 million federal employees are all being ordered to reply to the same email address- one email address- basically all at the same time. What could go wrong?

I’m so sick of people normalizing this. Elon gave a Nazi salute. Vance met w/the head of the Neo Nazi party in Germany. And Bannon raised his arm in what was clearly a Heil Hitler movement. Let’s just call it like it is: the facists have taken control. Democracy is hanging by a thread.

Medium v Substack. Discuss.

Happy Sunday, Peeps!

Translation: they’re achieving their goal of killing anyone who isn’t white and Christian.

The Gulf of America business may seem petty, but it’s a test: how ridiculous an order will people follow? Then, if people are willing to follow this embarrassing dictate, the Orange Menace will move on to bigger things. It’s all about compliance.

I encourage every artist and production to boycott the Kennedy Center moving forward. I know it's hard. I know art doesn't pay most artists well. I would never shame an artist or production for choosing to perform there. But I ask you to consider the powerful message it would send if you didn't.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Trump being “elected” chair of the board of the Kennedy Center is the same as him “winning” all the tournaments at his own golf club: sycophants bending over to feed the vulgarian’s ego.

Oh good, a tasteless vulgarian heading up our premiere cultural institution. Get ready for wrestling at the Kennedy (soon to be renamed Trump) Center.

How long until he renames the Kennedy Center after himself and puts gilded crap all over it?

Confirming Gabbard. Firing thousands. Ending vital medical research. Cutting off aid to the poorest. The GOP is ok with it all because they think it won’t happen to them. Their prices won’t rise. Their jobs won’t go. Their health won’t suffer. Hubris to the highest degree. And delusion. Crazy.

Gabbard confirmed. Which means Russia now has a full-on asset in the highest echelon of power. Why this doesn’t scare the GOP is beyond me. This doesn’t feel salvageable.

Please media please please please stop reporting that President Musk’s action’s could lead to a constitutional crisis. This administration is openly defying the constitution. THE CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS IS NOW!
