got my hands on elon musk's 5 bullets in response to his "what did you do last week" email - ignored the mother of my most recent child - ignored the mother of my sick child - swung a chainsaw around in sunglasses - celebrated take-my-kid-to-work-week - did ketamine

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

There’s only one reason to fire and replace the JAGs and it ain’t a good one.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

trump's gonna have to issue a pardon-a-week for this mother fucker lmao

NEW: We spoke with federal workers grappling with symptoms of paranoia around technology due to DOGE's incursion, including some fearful of their own home networks, and take a hard look at the range of tools the government currently uses to monitor its workforce: www.wired.com/story/survei...

Per Amazon preview, these are a few of the pages of Jeffries' book. Who is this for, exactly?

i dunno what the exact number is (i do actually, it's 1), but if 3 different people speaking at your rallies do nazi salutes, that seems like enough to call your political party at least nazi-friendly

This would feel good, but it would be dramatically misreading the situation. This isn’t a bumptious lawyer sending a bogus defamation threat. It’s the U.S. Attorney of an office that can seek to charge you. Don’t yield, but exercise communications discipline.

Again, on what damn authority?

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

trump's lackeys and the doge boys are firing thousands of federal workers nearly every day as trump boasts about all of the gold he's bought for his ballroom

oh no oh no oh no oh no storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

aside from the bluster, she's wrong on the substance: the congestion fee makes it possible for those who *need* to drive into work to actually do so with reduced traffic, accidents, & commute time, it makes it practical for people who have to drive & makes it easier for people who rely on cabs

unfortunately for trump's administration, most of the services his base receives come from the agencies most perceived as liberal - they just don't know, understand, or appreciate that

This is an absolute fucking disaster. Teenaged cybercriminals with physical access to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

First on the chopping block: The federal proofreaders.

“Filed by Acting U.S. DOGE Administrator” WHOMST?????????

"though i have given you every reason to conclude that i am not entitled to the presumption of regularity it is my contention that i am entitled to the presumption of regularity" lol okay

guys hear me out what if we just let him expedite production of his special little plane and let him personally test this theory that it will still be safe to fly on

People often assume the emotions associated with cruelty are hatred and anger, but it’s actually pleasure and joy. Fascists relish their cruelty. They roll it around on their tongue like a mouthful of full-bodied wine. They laugh as they harm.

The offer stands. If any of these "alt" federal agency accounts are run by current or former employees and want to prove it, I can do so anonymously. I could then inform the public that they're legit. As is, I am skeptical. @altnps.bsky.social

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Podcasts have become an amazing way to spread dumb ideas to guys who don't read. It used to be they'd have to watch a dumb documentary or be friends with a loud dumb guy. Now they can all get blasted with tradcon nonsense in their cars
