Drug dealers will get the death penalty? Surely he can't mean the rich white ones on Fifth Avenue? How would his boys get coke? It would be a shame if all the gangs had a truce and stepped up to fight for one cause.

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Spoiler: The glue is failing in freezing weather. Because they used glue on the Cybertruck.

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

Amen to that.

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Valuing diversity is not a crime Installing white men in every position of power is not a meritocracy

The shortest honeymoon in history.

I know things are bleak and scary right now. But I promise you that you - yes YOU - can get through this. You don't have to fight all of this on your own. Find one person you can help, and help them. Make the life of one person better every day. Hold onto your joy. That's how we win.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

swear to god if this were a movie script the studio would send notes back saying "tone it down, no one's gonna buy this"

Idiocracy was a documentary

Money and markets, y'all. It's your superpower.

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

President Trump launched the Artemis program to return U.S. astronauts to the moon for the first time since Apollo. Now, the plan could be a casualty of the cost-cutting drive overseen by Elon Musk.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

the SNL anniversary show is so healing. I needed this

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

I know this is cheesy, but I’m going to say it anyway: Don’t forget to show up for yourself. For awhile I stopped doing my long weekend runs and I’ve been back at it for several weeks and it makes all the difference. Whatever your thing is, don’t stop doing it!

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

technofascists: vaccines are dangerous also technofascists: you are asking too many questions that have already been answered by my "we used CRISPR to insert DNA from a starfruit and Murray Rothbard into our IVF" hat

Captures it perfectly.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Is it too late to hope that they do this again tonight

This oughta wakeup the 'just wait for the midterms' crowd.

So the US is now kidnapping whole families and trafficking them to random countries that the US has coerced into imprisoning them for some unspecified period of time

I’m spending more time cursing than ever when it comes to discussing news

If Trump had a first term marked by “alternative facts,” his second has demonstrated an outright hostility to anything resembling truth at all. truthout.org/articles/we-...

It’s gonna be too little, too late. We need that asteroid NOW

“Why are so few young people having kids?” I don’t know. Maybe because they want to be able to see their kids grow up and thrive which isn’t fucking possible anymore.

It’s so awful.

So every time Trump is confronted with the damage his rule by chaos is causing he answers, “Well, I don’t know about that.” And they move on.

What a mess (gestures at all the things)

“Pause” is doing a lot of work here.

Classic Susan Collins. She contacts RFK Jr about her “concerns.” He assures her that after she votes to confirm him, he “will re-examine it.” Hopefully people in Maine will be tired of this old act and wake up next year at the ballot box.

What a beautiful day to be a Philadelphia Eagles fan and fan girl of Jalen Hurts.

JD Vance knows better (we had the same profs at Yale Law). Which means he's gearing up to defy the courts.
