Tried to google the word count of On the Road.

A Nazi sympathizer with suspect ties to Russia bought himself a President. And for some reason, that President decided to reverse 60 years of security to capitulate to Russia. Does that describe it?

This guy is so deeply corrupt. newrepublic.com/post/192150/...

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

I will never get used to the bizarre language used in or the idea of official actions announced by a president on a social media platform he owns (and financially benefits from).

Trash headline after trash headline. This one portrays fascism as nothing more than a quirky new form of governance.

J.D. Vance and Elon Musk’s efforts to help the AfD party win the German election goes beyond trolling liberals, writes Peter Wehner. “They see in the AfD an undiluted version of MAGA.”

It is way too on the nose than trump is starting his second term to try to shake down Ukraine… again

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

“Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany on Saturday accused Vice President JD Vance of unacceptably interfering in his country’s imminent elections on behalf of a party that has played down the atrocities committed by the Nazis 80 years ago.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

Bawahahaha!!! I'm so dead!

Elon Musk: I have a wild thought. I must post it. Conscience: Shouldn't you check if it's true? Elon: I'm really rich. It must be true. Experts: It's not true. Elon: Fuck you. You're not rich. MAGA: Elon must be right. He's really rich.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

It's the #GulfOfMexico. Pass it on.

Things have to get pretty bad to get the whole ABA on board.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Oops 😬

In this exchange, @andycraig.bsky.social does a nice job in explaining just how lawless Elon Musk's autocratic power grab has truly become. Read these four screen caps: newrepublic.com/article/1911...

What this long and detailed NYT piece calmly calls an “extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual” is in fact a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s Article I powers and delegation of the President’s Article II duties. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

The number of people surprised by the long list of words NSF is targeting makes me think many of you all have not seen this: www.commerce.senate.gov/services/fil...

SCOOP: The email Andrew Kloster, the Office of Personnel Management’s new general counsel and self described "raging misogynist," used to sign up for his X/Twitter account appears in a leak for an escort service website. The IP address for the escort service website account is in Washington D.C.
