Gross stupidity for sure. Cutting huge systems efficiently is closer to surgery than chain saw tactics.

Breaking news Republicans don’t realize if you run your government like a third world dictator it might become a third world country.

Republicans are increasing spending on Musks Mars mission while cutting school lunch programs. F’ Republicans.

Have you heard the one about the bank robber who told the teller “I’m from the Department of Government Efficiency”?

Crockett strikes again!

What happened to Republicans war to preserve “State Rights”? apnews.com/article/trum... Trump administration orders halt to NYC toll meant to fight traffic and fund mass transit

If you’re not pissed off you’re not paying attention.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

I like that he posted a picture of a print-out of the email.

Might be a good time to remind Americans while our system isn’t perfect everything is functioning. I’ve seen enough blind corporate budget cuts to realize how hard it is to function w/o the right crew. JP:)

Great idea!

Elonia Trump wants us to do more for less, his dream of going to Mars is going to take everything we’ve got! JP:)

New Google Map?

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

House GOP wants $4 TRILLION dollar debt ceiling increase. You marks really thought the world’s richest man and the guy with the golden toilet seats were really going to “fight the elites” for you? Nah, they just want their tax breaks.

America has an Attention Deficit problem so they tune out everything but the headlines. Unfortunately science and living in reality requires listening to the details. Democrats need to make their point in the first sentence, not talk philosophy and righteousness.

Taking a knee to Putin while attacking Americans for expecting respect. WTF America? apnews.com/live/trump-p...

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

It’s great Elon often brings his kid to work, I hope he encourages females to do the same.

The reason why it seems like Elon Musk’s cognition is impaired is because Elon Musk’s cognition is actually impaired:

A federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to restore CDC, FDA and HHS webpages that Trump had ordered to be deleted. This comes after doctors sued the Trump administration for interfering with their treatment of patients.

If we’re putting conditions on Federal Emergency funds Florida should stop building along the beach and replant the mangrove forests that used to limit tidal damages.

The Russian disinformation network “Matryoshka” has launched a new campaign on Bluesky. Eliot Higgins, founder of the investigative journalism group Bellingcat, has been one of the first researchers to detect its activity. So far, four Russian-made fake videos have been identified on the platform.

Can we mandate separation of church and state in Florida before Federal Emergency funds are handed out?

Imagine a world where all nations pledge to never forcibly occupy another country. We all have a twisted history whether we like it or not, our history shouldn’t destroy another’s future.
