BREAKING: Trump's comment during his address that DOGE "is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight" has already landed in federal court. DOC buff.ly/K7puA1o

The biggest thing this will do is make it super easy for the ultra rich to cheat on their taxes. That’s the point.

This country is being run by stupid, petty children.

"People should start saving now"

NEW: USAID's acting asst administrator, Nick Enrich, has been placed on leave after sharing a memo detailing how political appointees have "wholly prevented" staff from continuing life saving aid.

This is an opinion piece that evidently meets Jeff Bezos' new test for supporting "personal liberties and free markets." Support pro-democracy independent media.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Poor people fleeing violence and oppression should be sent to concentration camps. Rich people with god knows what kind of agenda, welcome aboard.

Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation

Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

This is happening to thousands of people but of course only your friend is worthy of the king's mercy. What the fuck are we doing here bsky.app/profile/pbum...

Trump calls himself “THE KING”

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The JD Vance team flagged my TikToks for impersonation and had my account banned for making fun of him in a doughnut shop.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

CBS is one of a dozen U.S. outlets that responded to authoritarianism by shifting coverage further right, which is why we're calling rounding up minorities in the middle of the night and dumping them in random countries they've never been to a "breakthrough"

This entire thing is almost comically corrupt

READ Danielle Sassoon's letter to AG Pam Bondi, via @nytimes.com: "Rather than be rewarded, Adams's advocacy should be called out for what it is: an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Good for her. Sassoon is a FedSoc member and former Scalia clerk—someone with solid conservative bona fides—but who clearly has scruples.

Really strange watching the American government become hostile to Canada, western Europe, and Mexico in order to cozy up to the dictatorships of eastern Europe. Do Americans even know this is happening? Do they have any idea what this means for their lives?

These are the only refugees we’re now taking. So guess it’s just full-on white nationalism.

throwing in with AFD might be bad for business after all

Yes thehill.com/homenews/sen...

So the "free speech absolutists" are now claiming that putting your picture on the cover of a magazine with the headline "the cruel kids table" is "false light defamation." These guys simply crumple into mush at even the slightest hint that maybe, just maybe, some people don't like them.

We have to give people room grow and learn. Sure, Beattie wrote some intemperate things in the past. But I'm sure he's accumulated a lot of life experience and done a lot of maturing since . . . . . . October of 2024.

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

makes perfect sense but also wild to see retaliation focused on red states

The NTSB says it will no longer email news outlets or reporters with notifications of upcoming press conferences, including those on plane crashes in Washington and Philadelphia. Instead, all notifications will be made on X. We're filing a FOIA to find out more about the change in policy.

Something that I think we can all agree on is that the current generation of Democratic leadership is simply not optimized for the Attention Age. Not really their fault! And honestly, they may be better people for it, but it's a pretty pressing political problem.

This is an incredible feat of editing: 50 years of SNL music in less than 8 mins www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDxY...

I’m proud to call the amazing cartoonist Ed Wexler a friend.

Just in case any of you were thinking of seeing Flight Risk this weekend...nah.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

If Democrats can't make immediate hay out of such wanton cruelty....
