🤯 "In Trump’s Alternative Reality, Lies and Distortions Drive Change" "...When Mr. Kelly would object, saying, 'but that’s not true,' Mr. Trump would say, 'but it sounds good.'" www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

“Their pattern of lying allows us to assume the worst.” #GoChrisGo

I just don’t see how an Executive Order saying Mike Love was the real genius in the Beach Boys could be legally binding

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

"Trump and Musk, with their reckless and unfocused attack on federal workers, are raising the likelihood of any number of crises, at home and abroad."

Gift link. Glad to see this clear, concise, statement of alarm. WSJ coverage of our Constitutional crisis has been very good. If you don’t want to spring for a subscription, iPhone users can read it on Apple News+. www.wsj.com/opinion/trum...

"Why are they so desperate to weaken or even destroy democracy? ...because they know that... a functioning government... stand(s) in the way of unearned wealth and privilege."

Federal workers: the "buyout" has earmarks of a scam: generous money with no proof you'll get it, and a short time period with pressure to take the deal. DON'T DO IT. You'll be singing away your rights. #notpaywalled wapo.st/4hL5NET

“State capture” is the perfect description for what is happening Must read (no firewall)👇 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

Wow. Jamie Raskin discusses a possible impeachment of Donald Trump for illegal executive overreach. “Find me two Republicans and I’ll go to work tomorrow.” Would you support impeachment against Donald Trump?

And here we are, the land of the free and the home of the brave, shipping migrants to a notorious “camp” on an isolated island with no access to legal assistance. I am ashamed of my country. wapo.st/3CLyLFJ

"While America’s soft power took decades to accumulate, President Donald Trump appears determined to destroy it in a matter of weeks." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This is kind of fun reading on top of its seriousness. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/u...

Here's the WIRED piece from 1AM, reporting that -- contrary to White House claims -- a 25-year-old Musk lackey has obtained direct access to Treasury Department systems responsible for nearly all payments made by the US government: www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

"Just one more thing. You say you're trying to save the government billions, yet you're taking $30B to blow up rockets indiscriminately. You have this crazy scheme where you pretend we're going to colonize Mars. To be perfectly frank with you, Mrs. Columbo thinks you're on drugs."

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u... @warren.senate.gov fights back. Thank you Senator. What can we, your constituents do to have your back? Keep slowing down the illegal takeover of our government!

Make it so. The courts must stand.

I totally understand why people are pissed that the #Beatles won the Grammy but, fuck off, it's the bloody Beatles

Fucking hell

Watching mainstream TV news the past couple of days has been genuinely shocking. The wealthiest person in the world has taken control of the government’s payments system and they’re still doing endless segments on Groundhog Day and Super Bowl recipes.
