FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 1965: After five years and seventy million dollars we have invented a new type of plastic that prevents communists from being able to climb ladders too fast FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 2025: My cure for cancer was shelved because it might benefit Hispanics

In November, they voted for Trump. In February, he laid them off. For the next election, they're thinking Trump.

Imagine being an Article III judge and you get this email on a Saturday night lol

Say what you will about the Pope but his last significant actions while ambulatory was calling JD Vance a dumb piece of shit and a fake Catholic so you gotta give him props for that

I love news stories with a good photo of disheveled stock traders

Democrats: it would be improper and unsportsmanlike to put Biden’s name on these checks Republicans:

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

I'm sure Big Balls is up-to-date on his orientation and onboarding trainings

STOVE

This is how it’s done.

Things hurting the US economy: -mass layoffs of federal workers -funding cuts to every federal dept -corporate layoffs -measles and tuberculosis outbreaks -high flu rates -$8/dozen eggs -new tariffs raising the cost of everything -Canada boycotts US travel and goods -concerns about airplane safety

IT'S OPEN BORDERS CHAOS!!!111!!!

they put in the newspaper that he got bitches

Unfortunately I have been fired from my job guarding the orb containing the sum of all human knowledge from the creatures that live at the borders of reality but I know how important it is to pay down our national debt.

If Glenn Kessler accuses you of being misleading, it means you’re winning

We're going to see this *everywhere*! The federal government is the nation's largest employer and had a relatively distributed presence across all states (hence "federal")

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

A story as old as time: Republicans inherit a strong economy from Democrats then totally tank it by being utterly reckless, power-hungry and greedy.

This is how the Tea Party started, after all. They just showed up and talked angry shit for a summer & then they got a lot of money from conservative donors, ran candidates for the next Congress and voila, the groundwork laid for takeover of their party. It is far from impossible to do. Hint. Hint.

Utter woke nonsense!

The @nytimes.com changed the story and has now added this info after I caught them last night. This is why I screenshot these stories. There was no editors note added nor did they point out that a stealth edit was made. h/t @shoq.bsky.social

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Canada wins! #fournations

If you told me "an extremely senile Trump was re elected after being convicted of a felony but the real president is Elon Musk, who's a Nazi now, and he's employing his drug dealer and nazi child pornographers to tear down the entire US government" in 2020 I'd have thought you were on crack

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

DOGE cuts 9/11-related cancer research funding, which FDNY commissioner calls "a tragedy for all Americans." www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

Tough situation. Maybe at some point we can amend the Constitution to provide a specific power Congress can use against an executive who’s unlawfully usurping its authority.

When Mitch saw the breadth of his destruction, he wept for there were no more countries to ruin.

Susan Collins on government funding negotiations:

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

Good on the Dems. (The reason why these restrictions on presidential powers aren’t typically done is because the president doesn’t typically try to end constitutional government.)

Presidents do not "typically" impound funds for entire agencies and close them in contravention of the law.

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh

she won
