This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Trump has never met a dictator that he didn't admire. that's how you know he's self-consciously lying about Zelenskyy being a dictator.

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

The simplest explanation I have for what happened there is that this whole cohort of rich Ivy-educated New York types genuinely convinced themselves there was a powerful woke conspiracy to destroy them because their kids' friends were yelling ugly slogans & Biden wasn't returning their calls.

Utter failure to grasp what we are facing www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/u... 1. People lack the framework to recognize an attempt to overthrow the constitutional order 2. The lack of elites acting like point 1 is true makes it illegible. Without Ds behaving as if it's a crisis, it's not a crisis.

Republican lawyers and judges are rapidly moving this idea from “off the wall” to “on the wall.” We ignore or dismiss this at our own peril.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

The deal to drop Adams' corruption case isn't a one-off. In the last week, Team Trump functionally decriminalized covert foreign influence and overseas bribery. Oh, and they broke up the team that was taking Russian oligarchs' yachts.

Dear heads of agencies being gutted by the ongoing coup, Just make an official announcement including the phrase "Donald Trump can go fuck himself." Any context, any capacity, hell make it the name of the press release. If you're going to go down, go down as a legend.

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza. But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot
