I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita ran an entirely fictitious campaign, promoting a version of Trump that will never exist, shamelessly fabricating lies about his agenda based on what swing voters wanted to hear. Now the people who believed the lies are suffering. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Yup. The current Dem leaders in both houses of Congress are both from the city and state whose Democrats produced the biggest concentration of double-digit redshifts in the entire country and who are notoriously incapable of electing people who aren't insane weirdos who can't govern competently.

In the last election, one candidate was proposing coercive restrictions on personal liberty and replacing free trade and free markets with heavy tariffs and authoritarian favoritism. The other was Kamala Harris. Bezos personally killed an endorsement of Harris and celebrated at Trump’s inauguration.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Anytime a storm is brewing, your local forecasters are getting the latest data from NOAA. As the agency faces an uncertain future, one thing's for sure: for-profit companies would struggle to replicate NOAA's weather-forecasting prowess.

It really is that simple. If Biden had announced he appointed Selena Gomez to shut down ICE, nobody would doubt that's illegal and unconstitutional. Appointing Musk to shut down USAID is no different.

We have reached new levels of madness when an unelected, non senate-confirmed private citizen is overseeing an effort to overhaul or possibly end a congresionally mandated arm of our government. This is real trouble for the separation of powers, and with it, our basic democratic institutions.

Wall Street is betting big on continued housing scarcity. If we want homeownership to be accessible to the next generation, we need to build millions of homes for ownership in the places people want to live. www.wsj.com/real-estate/...

The take I am most certain of that gets me in the most trouble is just "The reason homes are so expensive is because there are not enough of them, so we really really really need to build more of them."
