To be clear: Trump did not merely say he was indifferent to higher car prices resulting from his auto tariffs ("couldn't care less"). He also said he *hopes* auto companies raise prices

Who amongst us hasn’t gotten mad at our bosses sometimes

Yesterday, Gabbard testified: “There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal chat.” So the Director of National Intelligence lied to the US Senate.

Maybe Usha wants to move there. I would if I were she.

Has anyone compared the number of times Bondi has appeared on television news shows with the number of times Merrick Garland or Bill Barr did? My guess would be that in 2 months she's probably exceeded both of their TV hits, possibly combined.

“Each of the outlets made a willful decision to forgo referring to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of Mexico. While it may have been performed in a subtle manner, make no mistake: It was still an act of submission.”

“If American journalists flinch at merely calling a centuries-old body of water what it has always been known as, what will they flinch at next? History is full of regimes that began by controlling what people could say.”

@Television news organizations may believe that avoiding a term like Gulf of Mexico is a fairly harmless concession. But … cute linguistic gymnastics amount to a surrender. Words are the front lines of truth, and once they’re ceded, it becomes far easier for strongmen like Trump to shape reality.”

Paul Weiss should immediately commit to provide $40 million in pro bono representation to lawyers who are harassed and intimidated by Trumpers for defending clients' civil rights.

OMFG. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/w...

Quisling (noun): a traitor who collaborates with an enemy force.

The president is laser focused on the big issues

Time to focus on Marco Rubio's role as a chief Trump enabler. Rubio is helping execute some of Trump's worst designs: Terminating program tracking Ukrainian kids, deporting people to foreign gulags, wrecking USAID, arrests with zero due process. My new piece: newrepublic.com/article/1930...

As a Coloradan, I felt badly Trump's feelings were hurt by the #TrumpPortrait hung in our state capital. So I fixed it so it clear who is really running the country right now. Hope he likes it!

See, it's funny cuz it's true. 🤣 (also: #sad) 😞

The guy whose daddy bought his way into Wharton, the guy whose grades were so shitty he's never disclosed them – that guy just destroyed the Department of Education. This is what dystopia looks like. This is what Fascism looks like.

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

What a good soul. I wish her a much longer and healthier life than the thing she was stuck married to.

Grassroots Democratic group calls for Schumer to resign as minority leader - The group said the Senate minority leader should resign “to make way for leaders who will actually fight for the American people.” thehill.com/homenews/519...

EPA is terminating more than two dozen protections against air and water pollution. It would overturn limits on soot from smokestacks that have been linked to respiratory problems in humans and premature deaths as well as restrictions on emissions of mercury, a neurotoxin.

Warner and Hickenlooper have videos up where they say they are no's on cloture, a good sign that grassroots pressure is working; hit them with some positive reinforcement.

When an unelected South African calls one of our most accomplished Senators, who was once a combat veteran and astronaut, a traitor, is where Americans should draw the line. Elon Musk will never be the honorable man that Senator Mark Kelly is.

The White House is one giant pyramid scheme

CNBC is calling it the Tesla Chain Saw Massacre. 🤣

Completely disappointed in the Philadelphia Eagles for tainting their absolutely historic win by accepting the orange felon’s invitation to visit the White House. Way to sell your souls to the devil cowards.

american society has been at “TV Interstitial from ROBOCOP” for a while but “president does a car commercial on the white house lawn” is really pushin it

Some Democratic member of Congress should propose a bill saying that a POTUS may golf at government expense no more than, say, once every 14 days, and must reimburse the Treasury for anything beyond that.

I know what you’re thinking: We should mirror the United States government based on how this website is run.

It's official: The lunatics are now running the asylum.

I wrote section 230 to protect the little guys and the upstarts like Bluesky. Repealing section 230 only helps Meta, Musk, and Donald Trump.

In today's episode, we check in on the Stand Up for Science rallies that spread to 32 cities. Listen here 🎧: buff.ly/YgplAQ4

Very heartening to see foreign officials mocking him for being a fucking clown. Feels like the garlic to his vampire

Erich Fromm, The Heart of Man (1964)

The man is human pollution, America's id. The international community is going to rally against this country to make sure we're hurt for decades because of all of this and we'll have deserved it.

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

what dumbasses
