Couldn't all of you band together and protest this rather than allow it to happen? Trump needs you just as much as you need him. There's a reason the only occupation mentioned in our constitution is the press. Maybe you should show why!

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

Wow, how could Emil Bove miss Emil Bove in his purge of DOJ officials who were part of the January 6 investigation. [You will see several versions of this story, which I was pitched too--this had the advantage of @ryanjreilly.com's expertise.] www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

BREAKING: Donald trump is actually doing something GREAT, promising to crack down on overdraft fees and to BLOCK medical debt from being listed on credit reports! WOW!!! LOL, just kidding. Actually, President Biden did all that stuff to help Americans, and trump wants to reverse it. Fucking idiot.

A quick search of Cotton’s accounts show that the first time he posted a single word critical of USAID was 5 days ago, despite serving in the Senate for 10 years and the House before that.

I'm suggesting we buy billboards in red districts, put photos of released J6 insurrectionists w/ a list of their crimes (beating law enforcement, soliciting a minor, etc.) and tie it to the Representative and/or Senator and say "Rep. TK supports letting a cop-beater/accused p*do out on the street."

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

“Wealth creation for everybody, not JUST the rich” 1. The fact that he actually has to specify that he’s not JUST helping the rich, should tell you everything.. 2. Why do rich people need more wealth creation? 3. Do we honestly believe the richest people in this country need more money?😏

The Trump Administration has officially closed the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. This is a crushing blow to all the significant and historic work we've made over the last 4 years. Biden's work on guns has saved thousands of lives- the Trump admin is trying to reverse that.

This is a remarkable moment. Trump and Vance sit there in silence, as a bishop pleas with them to lean on their better angels and not follow through with their depraved campaign promises that target the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants. Never seen anything like this.

Legacy media outlets ignoring the Trump and Melania crypto scams, which at any other time with any other incoming Admin would be one of the biggest scandals in political history, shows how lost and unprepared they are for what is about to happen. They’re covering this like a reality show.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

So I'm standing in the grocery store parking lot and it's freaking cold. A very classy old woman sees me and walks the entire distance across the lot. "You give that man shit," she says. Then walks away. That's Canada. The criminal might buy off porn stars. He will never force Canada to bend.

Merrick Garland failed miserably in delivering justice for Trump’s numerous crimes. The absolute LEAST he can do is release Jack Smith’s report so the American people will learn the facts. Publishing the results of special counsel investigations is the norm — burying the truth would be indefensible.

Release it anyway. Fuck her. She’s acting unlawfully and should fuck off into the sun. It’s our report, not some Kremlin troll’s. Release it.

Here I was, all worried that the DoJ OLC might tell Garland he can't release the report, then BAM. Judicial terrorist Aileen Cannon dips her robes into the mix and blocks it. I hope the DoJ finds a way around this and is able to get the report out to the public.

The fact that Republicans are attempting to straight up steal a Supreme Court seat in North Carolina by invalidating over 60,000 legally-cast votes should be getting a lot more attention than it is.
