The Free Market is when rich people get money for free. True of the railroads too. bsky.app/profile/larr...

To be fair to Jeff Bezos, they don't call it the Opinions section. Maybe it will help everyone do their jobs better if they know there's only one Opinion to write about in there.

Reporter: If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would you say? Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Fuck off.

“Dems should roll over and play dead” “No”

Do my kids have passports? Will proof of citizenship do them any good if the trumper down the street is getting paid to put them in a camp?

Mr. Speaker, listen carefully: Elon Musk does NOT “got your nose.” That’s his thumb stuck between his first two fingers. Yes, I know what it looks like. But please, touch your face. Your nose is still there. We’re begging you, look around and observe reality.

Are you listening, @markwarner.bsky.social ? Why should we show up for you when you’re not defending your constituents, the Congress, or the Constitution from an obvious power grab?

I want to make it clear that no executive order can change federal law and every executive order trump has signed has expressly disclaimed the intent to. The screenshot is from the DEI EO. That’s before you get to courts actually blocking big parts of it. And yet the overcompliance is legion.

ai wrote my son a very impressive resume, and his only work experience is moderating a subreddit about giving yourself diarrhea on purpose

On days when I want to feel better I look at how ludicrously far out over their skis these people are and manage to convince myself that while it's definitely going to *go* badly for all of us there's a decent chance it *ends* as badly or worse for them.

I’m not going to say this is good, it’s bad. But I can’t cower in fear that the new Trump Stasi will be a lethal all knowing force working from the shadows when their leader’s main qualification is “being mad online”

Just told a friend, “… getting caught up in the daily “Trump says he’s going to crash the moon into Portugal if they don’t give us the Azores immediately” type news is a good way to lose your sanity” And I’m not sure I’d even be shocked anymore if that happened.

this guy, he's not some rando who hung out long enough seniority. He's Rep. Connolly (D-Federal Workers) and it is INCREDIBLE how little he's got. He's had weeks and he's still got nothing. Federal Workers ARE his constituency! Just imagine how little he's got for everyone else.

pulled up right next to a cybertruck at a long stoplight and gave it a big thumbs down. driver notices and rolls down his window cybertruck driver: why do you think it’s ok to be so rude to someone just based on what car they’re driving me: because you bought a fake truck from a real nazi

“I am performing the duties of the undersecretary for personnel and readiness, come to you at the turn of the tide”

"Seven western WI Republican lawmakers did not appear at an event hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union ... as farmers from the area said they were concerned about the effect that President Donald Trump’s first month in office is having on their livelihoods." wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/02/21/r...

Is this a good time to point out every accusation is a confession?

Report: You Live In An Embarrassing Country

When the inevitable recession arrives and the backlash to dismantling the federal government slowly builds, they are going to try to buy the electorate off in the crassest and most predictable way they know how.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Like thirteen years ago my friend's eight-year-old sister said, with a very thick long island accent and in a deadly serious tone, "I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to win at Mario Kart", and I think about that intensity and commitment to excellence every day.

I'm making the point that Tr*mp is actually UNPOPULAR and if there were an ACTUAL opposition party [which some of you argued with me in my mentions for 2 days & cried when I said there is no opposition party in the U.S.] he would be even more unpopular.

The Trump/Boeing AF1 goes into the ground on its first flight, Musk names himself king in the ensuing confusion, prompting the Secret Service to restore constitutional order with their service weapons. This is as close as I get to positive thoughts these days

Not every governor will dither on congestion pricing but then ultimately come to its defense against a mad king, but then again some folk'll, like New York's Kathy Hochul

I’ve been looking for reasons to stop showering

I'd say Merrick Garland was our Neville Chamberlain, but I feel like that's unfair to Chamberlain

One morning, while making my kids egg and cheese sandwiches, I told them “Of course, the English would never call these ‘English Muffins,’ it’s a law that their breads need to have an amusing, cute name … they probably call these ‘bunsies’” …And to this day, my egg sandwiches are called bunsies.

They've never given a shit about the Constitution, about The Troops, about America, or about anything else they've ever done the fainting couch routine over to score cheap points with histrionics. All American conservatives have ever wanted was a dictator who agrees with them and they have it.

its genuinely insane how much the last few years have polarized me against legacy media and legacy media elites

When people say, "Why isn't Congress doing anything?" This is why. They support what is happening. Musk-Trump is doing their wet work for them.

Repeating myself, but the idea of Trump & Musk as "masculine" remains bizarre. They're just the toxic and immature parts with none of the traditional "masculine" virtues. They're whiny, entitled, unreliable, dishonest, self-absorbed, never take responsibility, never put duty over self-interest, etc.

THEY ARE DEFUNDING MEDICAID AND BUYING CYBERTRUCKS WITH THE MONEY. Dems stop saying "uh he promised he would lower the cost of living" and take the layup

Just so much bribery, all out in the open
