First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Absolutely beautiful tribute. #SNL50 #50Years youtu.be/fXAbLeJyB0o?...

🔥 “Wake the hell up.” Former RNC chair @michaelsteele.bsky.social goes in on Elon’s infiltration into the federal government, accessing everyone’s personal info

Just a coincidence.

Look this sucks but news outlets need to start realizing there's limited journalistic value in sitting in a room and letting a person behind a podium lie to you. You're not holding anyone to account when you do that.

Stars Resign Kennedy Center Posts in Wake of Trump’s Takeover .. GOOD. Next donors should pull funding. Artists should not appear. We among others will not renew subscriptions or pruchase further tix. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/a...

“Trump has packed so much illegal, unconstitutional, lawless activity into three-and-half weeks that the press, politicians, and many Americans have already forgotten or normalized activity that can only be described as a coup.” — Robert Hubbell Newsletter Feb. 13, 2025

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

kendrick made me realize that i’m not hating to my full potential

Kendrick brought out Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Sam saying all the shit they knew conservative talking heads would say and there are outlets and users who are saying Kendrick was "more concerned with Drake than politics." Did y'all want him to spoon feed you the point and tuck you in or what?

The other shoe. Is dropped. Like I said, this is coordinated.

"It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is." - Marbury v. Madison (1803).

This seems like it could be a problem for us.

We’re all going to die.

DOGE is not a real department. In order to be a real department, DOGE would have to be approved by Congress. Pass it on.

@raskin.house.gov: "This is a coup, which is a seizure of state power by unelected actors... In addition to everything that Trump is doing to dismantle every part of gov’t that doesn't profit him personally, we have this additional problem of Elon Musk trying to consolidate state power under him."

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS
