If you want to understand the cultural importance of Lorne Michaels and SNL, realize that they got Lauryn Hill to show up on time for a live gig and reunite with Wyclef Jean. (I wonder if Pras couldn't get permission from his probation officer.) #snl50

DOGE’s “receipts” prove one thing: Musk is slashing programs, not waste. Trump’s government watchdog flagged diversity programs and climate initiatives while ignoring Pentagon bloat and corporate subsidies. This isn’t about efficiency—it’s an ideological purge.

And who determines what the executive’s legitimate power is, JD? The executive?! Come on. Let me put it in terms you’d get. It’s like football. The judges are the refs, and they say whether you’re in or out of bounds. And Musk is waaaaaay out of bounds with these takeovers of our systems.

Dems spent years avoiding having any kind of convo about adding seats to the Supreme Court because 'what kind of precedent would that set for Republicans?' Meanwhile, the GOP take office & within weeks are openly talking about ignoring court verdicts and impeaching judges. Sigh.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

"No Democrat should be voting to advance Trump's nominees while all of this stuff is going on," AOC said. “There has to be a political price to pay and we have a responsibility as a party to block everything that is happening while they're setting a literal mash to the federal government."

Trump’s Gaza Real Estate Fantasy First, Trump calls for Palestinians to leave Gaza. Now, he floats the U.S. taking it over—leveling, rebuilding, and making it the “Riviera of the Middle East.” Who decides who lives there? Palestinians? Or developers like Kushner? This isn’t peace—it’s colonialism.

The problem with Musk didn’t start with Trump. But given Musk has significant government contracts now has unchecked power as an unelected head of a made-up “agency” here’s a little refresh from a @WSJ story from October. Pay attention people. www.wsj.com/world/russia...

According to a Nixon-era law & SCOTUS case, presidents can’t hold back congressionally allocated funds because they disagree with a project. But that’s what Donald Trump is trying to do & the real question is whether this SCOTUS will let him get away with it. joycevance.substack.com/p/impoundment
