What do voters think about Elon Musk and his rampage through the US Government? A banger episode of The Focus Group pod with @karaswisher.bsky.social ‬⁩ who blows my mind with a couple of insight about Elon’s endgame.

Inside job

It’s a cry for help from Desantis. He’s lonely, isolated, and wants his friends back from before he ran against Trump. Maybe this will rekindle fond memories of the life they once had together as brothers in arms fighting the culture wars, and they will return to praise him.

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Marco Rubio is already sidelined at the Department of State. So, he'll be reduced to the diplomatic weddings-and-funerals detail. Sad! puck.news/is-steve-wit...

And we got finger-wagged by a New England journo "expert" for not staying in our lane and sticking to our knitting (his words) and leaving hard stuff to (paywalled) NYT and Wapo. So we were right, and we did the right thing, and we didn't need anyone's permission to make our own news decisions.

Trump: "We're actually going to Ft Knox. Because I want to see -- do we have the gold? Do we still have whatever it is, tons of gold? I hope we do. Wouldn't that be disappointing?"

Look. These assholes are taking a chainsaw to it. When they're done, we can build it again, and maybe better this time.

Present rotation.

Submitting comments on agency rulemaking is a fantastic and underrated form of activism! Agencies are required by law to engage with the comments which are a permanent public record as well as the basis for future litigation. Do this ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Putin is a threat to all free people. Ukraine is the wall.

Macron has just urged the French to join the military reserve. “We are entering a new era”. France will have to spend more on defence. “The threat that Russia represents imposes choices on us” (Live exchange on social media)

Thousands of federal workers performing essential functions—from food safety to forestry and fire management to nuclear safeguards—have been illegally fired. The Department of Justice has abandoned more than 150 years of independence. The president has claimed that he is a king. It is day 31.

Flashback: Arnold Schwarzenegger has a message for the Russian people: “My father was a Nazi. Don't be like him. Putin is a fascist dictator like Hitler. Don't believe his lies. Don't follow his illegal orders. Don't participate in the illegal war against the people of Ukraine.”

Who's the dictator here?

I spoke to the 'Decoding Geopolitics' podcast in Munich: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLDT...

It never ends with these people pushing Russian fakes.

Hello! 👋💀 If you'd like more info about me and my work, I have an about section & gallery on my new portfolio site: hamletmachine.com Support, unreleased comics, and a discord for members: patreon.com/HamletMachine Thank you so much!💋

For no particular reason, what the Commonwealth of Virginia thinks about kings.

The Mississippi Legislature is NOT a "public body" and NOT subject to the Open Meetings Act under state law, a judge has ruled. That means a quorum of House Republicans will be able to continue to meet and make key legislative decisions in private. #MSLeg @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

The United States is joining an international fascist network before our very eyes.

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.

Five major airlines are suing to overturn a rule from then-Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg that actually holds airlines accountable for damaging disabled people's wheelchairs. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

AOC speaking to a thousand NYC federal workers and allies about the urgency of resisting Musk 🔥🔥🔥

America is not gonna go down quietly. Former NFL punter arrested after protesting ‘MAGA’ Video:

Publicly abandoning American and Ukranian democracy on the same day.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

🚨 NEW: Wow, Trump's former VP Mike Pence just called Trump out for lying about Ukraine.

I vote for a press release in which Karen Pence demands a public apology from 4547 for trying to have her husband killed. Make it right, Republicans. Start here.

The head of the teamsters is a pussy.

“Wokeness” means paying attention to what’s going on & caring about it, which is a large part of any research. The US is a leader in medical research. These cuts diminish our standing in the world & not just the scientific community.

BREAKING: Sen. Ron Wyden sounds the alarm that Trump approves of the House budget resolution -- the only way they can meet their $880 billion in cuts is by cutting hundreds of billions from Medicaid, a disaster for millions. Make sure everyone sees this.

BREAKING: Massive protest rallies are happening today across the country, blasting DOGE and the guy that nobody voted for. There will even be a protest at SpaceX headquarters. SPREAD THE WORD. 🙏💪

The executive order would affect agencies like the SEC and FDIC, but it excludes the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors and Open Market Committee.
