It would appear that Trump and Musk are going to push the corruption and fascism at every opportunity because they are far too pot committed to turn back now.

Congrats to Trump’s new picks for top military posts for meeting the job description. You don’t have to say yes, you know.

If this is the mood in a Trump +22 district hoooooo boy

Overflow angry crowd for town hall with Glenn Grothman in Oshkosh this morning ... www.wpr.org/news/glenn-g...

Understatement of the year.

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

This has been my point for weeks about what Musk is after. Consolidated data from the biggest mine of information in the world. He’s so thirsty for data he’d get his hands on the nuclear codes if he could. Could he? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

“Trump’s embrace of America’s adversary and rejection of its ally has been so swift and complete that even top Kremlin officials are astonished.”

Huh…This rings a bell…where have we heard this before…?

Wow. DOGE is far more expensive than the USDS that it pretends to be. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Former NFL player Chris Kluwe shows all of us exactly how to do it. USA! USA! 🇺🇸 h/t @joyannreid.bsky.social

Trigon.

President Musk reposted an image of "migrants storming a Birmingham hospital." it turns out the image was FROM A BATMAN MOVIE! 🤪

An unconscionable post from Donald Trump about Zelenskyy, in which he calls him a "dictator" and threatens Ukraine's existence.

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

So to recap on the “only hires the best people” front: His Health Secretary and Intelligence Director choices are being celebrated by the Kremlin media outlets His FBI Director committed perjury during his hearing and his SecDef is complaining on social media about his debt and ability to be bribed

I regret to inform the people of Buttigieg H8ers Dot App who is doing the messaging they asked for, and it's the future Senator of Michigan

And here’s why you should stop going to X, The Everything App

NEW: Trump’s FEMA administrator just sent out an email ordering all employees to stop sending things to the media without prior authorization. It was immediately sent to me by a FEMA employee without prior authorization to share with you.

🚨BREAKING: Michelle King, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, was ousted after denying Elon Musk access to “sensitive files,” the Washington Post reports This. Is. Insane.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

For any Republicans out there-- don't you see what's happening? Your elected officials, drunk with power, are quietly and quickly getting filthy rich. And in exchange, they're cutting your Medicaid, cutting your education funding, cutting SNAP benefits, cutting medical research.

Apparently it’s still snowing…

THIS IS SERIOUS: Republicans want to gut healthcare from millions of kids, seniors, and disabled people—all to fund $4.5T in tax cuts for billionaires. Not just numbers on a spreadsheet—kids losing inhalers, babies missing checkups, parents choosing between food and medicine. Hands Off My Medicaid

Just despicable and disgraceful. The US government is now indistinguishable from the mafia.

“ Kash Patel is a freak. And not the Rick James kind. It’s a thumbs down for crooked Kash. This is a guy who openly attacked the FBI and compromised its relationship with the intelligence community, and now he could be running the damn thing? That is just plain stupid.” — Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove

Kevin Durant is now the 8th player in NBA history to reach 30,000 career points 👏

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

"Categorically, the most important thing here is their willingness to defy the courts, because that is the ultimate autocratic breakthrough, a declaration that the rule of law does not apply to them, that it cannot constrain anything they want to do." Watch: youtu.be/1mTXN-zbSvM?...

Trump just directed the DOJ to stop enforcing an anti-corruption law prohibiting corporations from bribing foreign governments. Tasked with implementing this order is none other than former corporate lobbyist, and current AG, Pam Bondi. It's open season for corruption.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

Oh. Would be a shame if everyone shared this everywhere while trump and Eric Adams try to work out a deal.
