You don't fire Judge Advocates General unless you plan on issuing unlawful orders. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

How many months away are we from the concentration camps?

Funny.

Ya... we're pretty fucked. It's pretty obvious that the damage to the country is going to be irreversible at this point for most of our lifetimes.

"My lunch with Kevin Hassett was the moment in which I stopped believing in meritocracy...He was merely the product of a system that needed people like Kevin Hassett to exist. And this system was designed to protect and promote the Kevin Hassetts of the world, irrespective of how silly they were."

Worth a read. The purpose of the Citizenship Clause was *precisely* to prevent spun up theories based on hypothesized social contract, virtue, allegiance, community membership, etc., from being used to deny citizenship. The 14th Amendment means what it says.

We really need a Teddy Roosevelt to come along and take down Big Tech.

Apple, cooperating with totalitarian regimes because that's what Big Tech does

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people. wired.com/story/dozens-of-cfpb-workers-terminated-in-after-hours-firing-blitz/

Sure would be terrible if something happened to your nice country....

TFG does not control the fate of the Ukrainian people.

To be clear, it's not a mistake that grants to train special ed teachers were cancelled. MAGA absolutely considers those to be verboten "DEI," and Silicon Valley considers them contrary to their eugenics project.

Three-day weekends are nice but so too is democracy, and it sure would be swell if Democrats showed they cared more about the latter than the former.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

I'd rather continue to fund the banking police (who have returned billions to consumers) rather than giving everyone a check for $2.15

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Can I get a Superbowl prop bet on Kendrick doing something to embarrass Trump? (🙏)

How is what is happening now any different than the Chinese Communist Cultural Revolution against "bourgeois intellectuals"?

Elon Musk wants to shutter the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an agency that oversees corporate malfeasance and efforts to rip off consumers. As the CEO of some of America’s largest corporations, Musk wants to give corporate America a license to steal … from you.

Politico helped Trump launder lies during the campaign and he’s been on a week-long rampage against them anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A man who knew a thing or two about fighting Nazis. AND building a civil society. #fdr #fucknazis

Wait, Head Start funds only 20,000 kids?

As with my now-ancient wiretapping class action, Congress will pass an immunity provision for the junior Nazis "responsible" for the theft of the data.

He’s talking about the “enemy within”. He’s talking about me and you.

Wherein TFG promises active US military support for genocide

So just to be clear....we are surprised they are taking over government buildings?

We passed a law. They don’t get to force people to petition the king for mercy. We are still a democracy and this will be found illegal.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

That was quite an anthem.

"The raids are focused on deep blue cities in blue states. Because undocumented workers “make up a remarkably large sector of the U.S. economy,” these raids are a “de facto economic attack on blue states.”"

www.cnn.com/2025/01/25/p... And here I thought the US Government's complicity in Palestinian genocide couldn't get any worse!

Donald Trump rescinded Biden's action to lower prescription drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid. There's no other way to spin it. That means more money out-of-pocket for seniors and families. Big Pharma first. Ordinary people last.

And this from the actual head of a criminal pedophile conspiracy!

Aren't the Bills lining up in the neutral zone on defense pretty consistently? #ravens #bills
