Where are Democratic leaders? You know the "centrists?" How come they aren't doing anything? It's up to progressives...

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

DOGE has no idea what government waste is. They’re just cutting programs and firing people to see what the public lets them get away with.

Absurd. In so many ways.

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

@msnbc.com @cnn.com @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @jaketapper.bsky.social This is the second independent report I've seen today that has found the exact same lies from DOGE.... look into it yourself, and REPORT on what you find!

Heartbreaking: The Most Ruthless Despot You Know Just Made A Great Point

a🧵from that other site calling out DOGE's incompetence and malfeasance:

real monkey's paw that we invented the ability to hold the sum of all human knowledge in the palm of your hand and then a few years later we're turning it into your stupid friend that pretends to know the answer to every question

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

At a hockey game this weekend, Canadians loudly booed the US national anthem—and then turned around and proudly sang their own with full-throated joy. The contrast couldn’t have been clearer.

The amount of secondhand embarrassment I have even just watching this is through the roof.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

What will happen???? WHO CARES, they are willing to appease As a purveyor of the arts, The Kennedy Center has now lost all legitimacy, FULL STOP. It should be ignored - like any other takeover maneuver should be. Art is strongest w/a multitude of voices. This is the direct opposite of a dictator.

This is certainly effective, more effective than almost anything else.

If newspapers were worth anything, they'd all be printing that contrasts like this are why DOGE exists and is shutting down the CFPB

2nd NEW gov contract Musk has gotten in 2 days. I'm sure it's all coincidence

Transparency!! Utter trash.

I'm not sure how a cadre of twetntysomething hackers/coders found things in a matter of days that it would take forensic accountants MONTHS to discover/confirm I have a feeling they are preying on built in public biases in order to undertake something much more nefarious

Elon Musk is calling for the CFPB's remaining account balance of $711,586,678 to be returned to the American taxpayers. That you give everyone $2-$3. But returning Elon Musk’s money to taxpayers would give everyone about $1,300 each.

I mean it's not a bad idea at all it's a good idea.

HES IN MAR A LAGO

Funny how a "critique" of the halftime show was mumbling. Like understanding people is a crucial skill to the right. Also even if that is the argument, doesn't matter. The music of halftime was great on it's own. It was a good show.

Those dystopian books we read in school are looking less like fiction and more like a blueprint. No wonder they’re being banned—they want to keep us in the dark.

MARGARET BRENNAN: This mass confusion with USAID. There were 30 million metric tons of food sitting at a port in Houston all week because there weren't US workers to unload the food aid, food American taxpayers had already bought. How is this mass confusion increasing efficiency?

That was good

Musk now also facing probe in Germany over alleged X algorithmic bias to interfere in elections.Prosecutors are investigating claims the platform distorts automated data processing,spreading misinformation. Court ordered him to comply. The EU isn't playing. Why are WE? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I gotta find a cliff face and carve WE REALLY DID THIS BECAUSE THERE WEREN'T SEXY LADIES IN THE BURGER ADDS AND GIRLS STARTED PLAYING VIDEO GAMES I SWEAR TO GOD IT'S WHAT HAPPENED in letters ten feet tall because no historian is going to believe it.

Not even trying to hide it…

It would be perfect if the Eagles were cruising to a win and their own dysfunction does them in.

that country roads ad/live tie-in was interesting

This energy.

The puppy bowl is the type of propaganda media should be used for - if we lived in a decent, caring society that is.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Musk has no technical skills whatsoever, but he wants to appear smart. So he takes bits of information like this, told to him by junior engineers, and regurgitates it to appear smart. Musk did this with the Twitter stack and Twitter's senior architects called him out publicly, then he fired them.

"Efficiency", "Analytics", "Algorithm", and "AI" have to be the most frequently used words/phrases by speakers who don't have a specific point. Like they aren't simple used incorrectly, they are used as a general vibe. Maybe I need to stop accepting it and ask questions.

Ex. 17 million why placating hate-filled, power hungry losers is useless. There's no "compromise" w/ bigots, esp. Maga victimhood professionals. "Good faith" doesn't exist. Their selfishness/insecurity/racism/etc is a black hole never filled... let them be swallowed They can't even boycott right.
