We are selling citizenship now.

A newly hired advisor at DOJ is a former judge who received what was then Oregon's longest-ever suspension for misconduct. He also made the news for "for having hung a picture of Adolf Hitler in his courthouse." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/doj-hir...

our official voting guide thread for #survivor 50: in the hands of the fans we will release new infographics when we are allowed to vote on a new season name!

I decided yesterday that I am pronouncing DOGE as Doggy to reflect how absolutely stupid it is.

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I say this completely without hyperbole, I would die for Muppy.

How many of these “federal agency [insert name] ________ says it accidentally fired officials who were working on [insert life-threatening issue] _____” stories are with going to to read over the next year?

Trump’s latest executive order (that was no doubt written by psychopath RFK Jr.) goes after antidepressants. As someone whose life was saved by them, you will pry my prozac from my cold dead hands. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

Absolutely excellent #TheTraitorsUS ep, especially cause I no longer have to watch those two on my screen anymore.

It's literally impossible to run the National Weather Service without talking to foreign partners. For example, the National Hurricane Center in Miami shares data with other nations in the Caribbean constantly to forecast storms. Everyone benefits. Weather doesn't stop at the borders.

You know it's unprecedented times when Millennials are voluntarily making phone calls.

@chappellskickback.bsky.social Now we've got sisters from Waco on The Amazing Race this season??? Are we finally getting on the reality tv map!!????

The FO phase continues…

Marvel using AI for that F4 poster is just fucking embarrassing. You're a comic company, hire Alex Ross or something.

Hey so FYI this is why a lot of us believe billionaires should not exist. Because no one should be rich enough to topple a government

New: Musk and his minions have illegally installed a commercial server to control federal HR databases that contain sensitive personal information, including SSNs, home addresses, and medical histories, according to an OPM staffer www.muskwatch.com/p/musk-assoc...

BREAKING: Harbor seal pupping season is ON in La Jolla, California Cuteness to be added to thread.🦑

If Carolyn has one fan, it is me. If Carolyn has no fans, I am dead. #TheTraitorsUS

Thank god I have Carolyn on the Traitors to comfort me after a day like today.

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

Again, this is the part where we relearn that politics is about real shit

Maybe it's better not to mess around with certain federal functions. It's not a game.

the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin

Or, in plain English, a concentration camp.

Oops I thought the Sudafed pills I took last night before bed were the normal dosage (30 mg) but apparently it wasn’t (120 mg). And I took two, which is the max dosage for 24 hours. No wonder I’ve felt odd all night haha.

I cannot recall a president ever threatening to withhold disaster relief as political leverage. But this is what an autocrat does. He pardons thugs and exploits suffering.

and the counter-point is, the umpteenth fucking time: IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER. he's a person in power who thinks it's funny, and not at all dangerous, to do a Nazi salute. that indicates he doesn't give a shit about people, and that's one of the reasons he needs to go. stop parsing this shit.

look you might not have the bandwidth for this, but this 3 part series on Trader Joe's was really well written and reported, and pretty damn eye opening. You know how their whole thing is is "vibes! we're the good vibes store!" uhm, yeah, about that www.fastcompany.com/91240524/tra...
