No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

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

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Can someone get some of that Mexican / Canadian fentanyl in the ketamine supply? Asking for a nation

As a caregiver, I’m amazed at the number of people who don’t understand this. I’ve had to explain it to children of dementia patients so many times I’ve lost count.

What did Trump actually get done..between golf games and bullshitting?

Pretty sure he was chosen for being a white guy who flexed his big muscles to Trump and said "tough" things that Trump liked to hear

Just chillin' with my villian

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Very true

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

This one little thing would have been a Presidency ending scandal for like 43 Presidents

I just saw JD Vance referred to as, Spiro Dragnew. I'm going to be laughing for a while and I'm pretty sure that's going to be my new, permanent name for him.

*reading as he heads to DCA to get on a flight*

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Lawyers at Twitter are threatening advertisers to spend more money on X 'or else' Musk will leverage his close relationship with Trump to torpedo mergers. This goes beyond a conflict of interest. It's straight-up extortion.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

As usual, a Trump accusation that is a confession

Garcia: The fact that the Trump DOJ now wants to silence members of Congress because we’re actually willing to take on Elon Musk is quite dangerous. It’s incredibly disturbing. But we’re not going to be silenced. We’ve got to push back.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Instead of Medicaid recipients can we drug test the Doge-bags?

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

The bonus will be that all the Mars-goers die of space cancer www.shesabeast.co/mars-radiati...

Quacks like a duck

Hero. 🇺🇦

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

If Trump was the guy who took over for FDR, he would have had the US join the Axis

The Felon is not draining the swamp he is filling it with the dead bodies of the Americans he is leaving hungry, homeless, and without medical care

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

European Parliament member 👇🏽

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

We could of had joy - instead we have the Cruelty Administration

Read this and try not to fume. Especially as you think of 47 wasting taxpayer money at the Super Bowl, Daytona and while playing golf half his presidency.
