When you share the propaganda of the fascist friendly punditry, you are in fact doing their job. You are spreading it around. Bad PR is still PR and it gets the word out and people talking. It drives engagement which = money for the fuckwit fascist punditry. Ignore them, they lose money. Simple

It’d be good if Jeff Bezos had to explain why Thiessen—the famous torture advocate and less famous trade war advocate—is staying on in the new personal liberty and free markets regime and being allowed to publish unrelated harangues of foreign leaders, but I shan’t hold my breath.

If the IRS were forced to disclose taxpayer information in violation of Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, it would set a dangerous precedent that could, in theory, be used to justify the release of anyone’s tax records—including those of high-profile individuals like Musk and Trump.

Dr. Francis S. Collins, a renowned geneticist who led the NIH for 12 years, announced his retirement from both the institutes and the fed government. In his parting statement, he delivered a pointed yet measured message regarding the Trump admin’s decision to dismiss hundreds of NIH employees.

In 2009, I asked our baby's pediatrician what she thinks about the fad against vaccination. She didn't hesitate - and she was prophetic: "Nobody will care until there's a bunch of dead white babies."

Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.

If your Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, the elderly on Social Security to be called a "parasite," all while billionaires get richer, maybe, just maybe, you've profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus' teachings.

I've seen three different articles on this, because the guy who owns the company that makes this stuff reached out to the press. He's got 400,000 boxes of life-saving goo sitting in a warehouse, and if USAID won't accept it, he's going to have to throw it out.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?
