"Other automakers also supported the Nazis" isn't the dunk you think it is.

I honestly don’t hate the picture of all the Chicago cops protecting Tesla because showing a bunch of armed agents of the state openly enforcing Elons will is revealing the truth of our situation much more clearly than anything protestors could show

Raskin: "This is what Viktor Orban has done in Hungary -- to clear out the civil service with real expert professionals and people devoted to the public interest and replace them with a bunch of party hacks and sycophants to the dear leader."

The stock markets tanked so hard this week many people even lost their daylight savings.

Mr President you must deploy the U.S. military to protect your imbecile vizier's beautiful car dealerships

No shortage of selective outrage

What a front cover...

Yep, it’s hard to disagree with this.

Somewhere, Jeff Bezos is angrily clicking “track shipment” to see what happened to his new editorial page.

Funniest moment last night was Trump telling farmers to “have fun” after announcing a new round of tariffs that will be absolutely hose them.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

SOTU reminded me why the Romans organized gladiator fights in the Colosseum. Distract the plebs. Give them some entertainment and they'll complain less about their living conditions. It still works to this day.

So much for “We the People”

Of all the asymmetry examples, this is the most glaring (of today.) Bill Clinton meeting AG Loretta Lynch at an airport was a 🚨🚨🚨🚨 fire for the rule of law that led to her recusal from Hillary’s email investigation. GOPs went nuts and got results from their outrage. Dems functionally silent. So far

Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

Trump just joined Russia in slaughtering young Ukrainian soldiers, and stealing Ukrainian land. We are officially part of the Axis of Evil.

Super-shocked. The ambush was a pretext to illegally impound Ukraine aid.

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

Freeland: As prime minister, I will fight back with retaliatory tariffs and our retaliation is going to be surgically targeted to create the maximum pressure on The White House.. An example of a measure that I will put in place as prime minister is 100% tariffs on Teslas.

Trump Brings a Day of Historic Shame for the United States newrepublic.com/article/1921... via @newrepublic.com

Dear Humans, Your great-grandparents prayed for a cure for measles. You have it—and yet some of you want to 'research' your way back to the 1800s.

Trump's not going to cover IVF? You mean Trump take egg

Translation: "We are containing the geopolitical damage done by President Manbaby and the eyeliner wearing sofasexual."

And there it is. Putin’s lifelong dream. After years of relentless Russian propaganda, now fully embraced by the American president and the world’s richest oligarch, millions of Americans are convinced that this is a good plan because Europe is an enemy and Putin is our friend.

Governor Walz has it right. I miss hearing his plain, common sense talk.

Honestly the most important Kendrick lyric to change the political landscape in America is Turn the TV off.

How will kids be able to text their parents goodbye during school shootings?

Brutal.

Michelle Trachtenberg, of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Gossip Girl," has died at 39

@dreochapman.bsky.social Hello. I just wanted to say that I'm enjoying your audiobook 'First Light'. Very interesting.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

I remember 4-5 years ago typical energy bills hit £1200 a year and households were struggling and self-disconnecting then. Now the it’s £1,849 a year for a typical home. Very serious situation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"If the GOP could pull Trump’s dick out of their mouths long enough for the oxygen to return to their brains, they might see how batshit crazy it is to run a govt like this... But that would require a spine and these Republicans have the collective courage of a baby deer caught in a 6-lane highway."

His followers are like, “Surely there must be some mistake, he said only THEIR lives would be ruined. I’d better message the president and let him know.” We’re in the denial and bargaining stage folks.

This hits hard.

Q: How evil do you have to be to cut a Dolly book program? A: Pretty f*cking evil. Solution: Dolly for Prez! Dolly Parton Calls Out Indiana Gov Over Plan to Dump Her Imagination Library www.thedailybeast.com/dolly-parton... cc @drjengunter.bsky.social

This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.
