LAPD firing impact munitions at Los Angelenos while DHS arrests their neighbors.

The whole point of having a union of states is that the national government isn't allowed to do this www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

I'm old enough to remember when the sick fucks in the Trump administration promised that Kilmar Abrego Garcia would "never return" to the US. Now that that didn't work, they are going to prosecute him for fake crimes when we all know the real criminals are running the show.

Kind of wild that the New York Times has more sympathy for an influencer who posted child porn than it does for trans children who want to be left alone.

congratulations canada and mexico

be sure to stick around until the 33rd paragraph, where you will learn this right-wing grifter posted child sexual abuse images and that media coverage of his post made him sad (you will not hear from any of his critics)

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

So the conservative justices who had a meltdown over their "privacy" being violated by Dobbs protests in front of their homes are cool with Musk's Doge minions rampaging through the personal data of EVERY American. Cool. Cool. Double standard. So awesome.

GLAAD on new NYT anti-care podcast: "Instead of addressing the critiques, meeting with the community harmed & fixing its errors...the NYT is deploying its most distrusted and discredited reporters in a new project designed to profit off its inaccurate and biased coverage." @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Hey, why is the New York Times soft-pedaling a conservative influencer who posts child sexual abuse media on X?

If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

Who’s the more Alpha Male? The one with the wig and the implants or the one in the girdle and rouge?

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

And it's @drewmagary.bsky.social from the top rope: www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

the most important thing to noteabout the trump-musk fight, if we're going to be boring and serious about it, is that it has its roots *in the bigass bill you want people talking about.* the attention on the fight makes passing the bill harder. gawk, silly. it works.

Yes please

Enough with the fucking “this is a distraction” bullshit. That’s your cowardice speaking. It is incredibly easy to say “These people are exactly the same as the messiest disasters you personally know, and would you want those people in charge of your daily budget? Your house? Your healthcare?”

In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.

it’s always two dumb bitches telling each other exactlyyyy

The fight between Musk and Trump is fundamentally all about people losing their healthcare. If you don’t know how to capitalize on that and you keep insisting it’s all a distraction you need to find another line of work.

This is a really important point and has been a consistent theme of our coverage.

it should not be lost that elon personally bankrolled about 20% of the total for republican super pacs raised in 2024 lmao

Might be a lesson here somewhere about outsourcing capacity for key government services to a guy who lives in a lair under a volcano

this is what it took to get the Democrats to make a good post

Extremely clear DOGE personnel are at now risk for dual loyalties and conflicts of interest and should be terminated immediately. Analysis and investigation may be necessary to ensure govt assets, including data, are not in terminated employees’ custody and were not offloaded at any time

DC's airport will likely be closed for hours to accommodate Trump's military birthday parade next weekend -- which would also send ripples of delays around the country: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Also ban government agencies from using X as their exclusive means of communicating to the public

As the prophecy foretold.

somewhere inside the federal bureaucracy a 115-pound 19-year-old computer nerd is in the middle of firing 75 park rangers before turning on his phone and realizing his guardian angel just got merced by the president

Elon Musk beat them to it!

Buffoonery aside, I think a lot of Americans can't process that multiple generations of Germans renounce and revile past actions rather than treat them as an aspect of of their culture that must be maintained.

the Roberts-era SCOTUS: *hey, it's only corruption when a politician accepts payment in quid-pro-quo return for an official act* the world's richest man: *I spent $300 million for these people, and g*ddamnit I want my quid pro quo*

For the good of the country and indeed the world, Elon Musk and Donald Trump must hash out their differences and make peace, and also that conversation must happen while both of them pilot this two-person submersible I made down to the wreck of the Titanic.

okay what is up with right wingers consuming horse products

🤔

Remember when Republicans argued that changing the names of military bases and removing statues was tantamount to erasing history? They forgot to add that this only holds for straight white men, who made war on the United States during the Civil War.

The Trump team thinks Confederate traitors who killed Americans are worth honoring. But Americans who fought at Normandy in D-Day like Medgar Evers, or served in the Navy like Harvey Milk and Cesar Chavez, or worked as a spy for the US Army like Harriet Tubman, well, they are NOT worth honoring.

talking to a friend the other night whose federal agency has a political appointee whose two resume items are the Trump campaign and the campus dining hall. the insulting nature of this is real deliberate

Another banner day for the Department of Child Snatching

The best response to Abundance talk is a single tweet from Ruairi Wood, RIP brother.

Look at all these lawless immigrants, dutifully showing up for check-ins with federal authorities when asked
