Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

If your worldview is such that you take it as a given that rich Silicon Valley people are intelligent, then... try for a new worldview, please.

How many paragraphs do you think @apnews.com writes before mentioning that the white 3-Star General Trump plans to install (after firing the Black 4-Star Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) isn't even legally eligible for the job? apnews.com/article/trum...

The single most important thing to know about Musk is that lies about Tesla are the key to his enormous wealth (SpaceX loses money, Tesla barely makes any but is a highly liquid meme stock) & an obscure government agency is his top foe. apnews.com/article/musk...

Remember that song from Avenue Q: "the internet is good ... for porn?" Well the new version for the decade is "Crypto is really good ... for crime!" 1/

300 people showed up outside of Murkowski & Sullivan's offices. On a Thursday. In February. In Anchorage, Alaska! Alaskans are taking a stand and demand our elected officials to do the same. We don't expect you to save us but we do expect you to STAND WITH US! In-person town hall anyone??

You're saying the billionaire's operation is like an octopus? An octopus? Huh, where have I heard that one before?

Yes, these people are evil. But don't underestimate the fact that they are also very, very, very stupid. Pentagon official: "We're not investing in AI because I don't know what that means....We're going to invest in autonomous killer robots."

Hey @chatterton.bsky.social Rufo, among many other things, made up evidence that Haitians were eating people's pets. Now some 500,000 Haitians who were here legally are likely going to get deported. Glad he criticized you in "good faith" though. Enjoy staying on a platform run by the administration

NEW: Week 5 of #CorruptionCalendar exposes how Musk, crypto giants, and fossil fuel execs are cashing in under Trump—while workers & the public lose out. From SEC rollbacks to IRS sabotage, here’s what you need to know.

Wait, you mean one of the impacts of the emergence of crypto is strengthening the North Korean government? One would think policy wonks would care... unless they are owned by crypto themselves.

One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world just lost $1.4 billion (with a B) to a hack. This is 5x as much as the previous largest exchange hack in history.

American Pundits: It was an exuberant and controversial gesture of uncertain significance… Actual Fascists: It’s a Nazi salute.

DOGE has infiltrated the Social Security Administration. What other agencies are on DOGE's hit list? We've compiled them all in one place:

You can be selling books or fighting the crooks I like the fighters

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It’s sort of his schtick. He falsely accuses others of whatever he’s doing or plans to do so that people are inured to the accusation when it’s accurately leveled back at him.

I know now is not the moment for cynicism, but NHTSA might as well have not existed for the last decade or two. Specifically to this story, it has shown zero ability to effectively regulate either actual autonomous vehicles, or fake self-driving "driver assistance" systems like Tesla's.

Neoliberals have to admit that they are getting EXACTLY what they always wanted with DOGE: rich people applying the logic of the modern private sector to government. Not that I'm expecting honesty from Niskanen/Yglesias/Ezra/Derek et al, but c'mon, this is the tech sector unleashed!

A very intense dislike of tech billionaires, which crosses partisan lines, could shake up US politics. www.axios.com/2025/02/20/m...

There have been 11 aviation disasters, including 3 commercial airline crashes, in one month of the Trump administration. 90 people have been killed, yet Trump just fired hundreds of FAA employees. We created a resource to track aviation disasters and any future cuts to aviation safety.

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

THR: “.. Paramount now signaling that it’s prepared to go on the offensive .. leveraging the threat of uncovering information about Trump’s financials, including with respect to his social media company .. and the cryptocurrency he launched, in discovery.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Democrats lost the ability to drive project 2025 as the campaign became corporatized under Plouffe, Tony West, and Mark Cuban. trends.google.com/trends/explo...

In the end, Trump World made an awkward phrasing from Kamala Harris in 2019 stick more than Establishment Democrats made Project 2025 stick. That was enormously consequential and goes to the relative competence of their teams.

I am over every single conservative attorney who remains anything but ardently and openly Never Trump.

Who does Elon Musk root for when he watches World War II movies (European/North African fronts)?

My Senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, voted to give this middle finger to vets

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Take it public if it’s real - they’re all making back channel phone calls like Trump in his first impeachment -“I need you to do me a favor” and exempt my state my friend - instead of challenging the lawless l’etat c’est moi monarchism that they above anyone else have the power to check
