Trump v. Biden v. Trump s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?tra...

The United States is like that trope of the bully grabbing the weakling’s arms, hitting him with his own hands, and going “Stop punching yourself! Why are you punching yourself?” Except there is no bully. Just us, the weakling. Punching ourselves.

Twitter is down. Tesla stock is plummeting. SpaceX’s rocket imploded. All owned by the same guy who’s now in charge of our federal government.

The United States is no longer the leader of the free world. Let that sink in.

Sadly, it’s time to revive this 2017 TIME cover.

Yosemite National Park workers hang distress flag to protest Trump and Musk coming for their jobs.

A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided access to evidence used in court.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

One of my favorite things to be accused of is doing stuff “for attention” Bro, I’ve got a naturally 85 decibel speaking voice, and huge naturals. I’ve never had to beg for attention.

Not a coincidence that the thing on the right happened right after the thing on the left came out.

Seems like JD Vance is getting paid a lot by the government for his job as full-time social media shitposter.

oh NOW he cares about an infectious disease. news flash, the Measles and TB outbreak are suburban white women who don't vax their kids!

Also, Musk's favorability is far lower, MAGAts have doubts about him, and it provides Trump an easy way out.

🚨BREAKING: Musk is trying to shut down USAID as the agency was investigating its oversight of a public-private partnership involving equipment from Musk's company. Various USAID webpages mentioning Musk's company are now not accessible on its website.

The people who think they are good at everything because they are good at coding are also bad at coding.

Trump's tariff tantrum backfired spectacularly, forcing him to pause his trade war after Mexico and Canada called his bluff, revealing his negotiation 'strategy' as nothing more than empty threats

as a technologist I cannot overstate how bad these people are at being technologists

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

it needs to be said that while democratic elected officials are trying to get into the USAID building which was shut down by musk, CNN and MSNBC are showing the entirety of a trump press conference.

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

He is going to say "pinky swear you will protect our border. And buy more booze and stuff from us. " They will say yes. Won't actually buy the stuff. And he will declare victory Trumpenomics

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Grifter in Chief

I don't think anyone has realized that we're in the midst of a hostile takeover of the US. this. is. a. coup.

The silence of most Republican members of Congress on the Trump tariffs tells you two things: 1. They know it is a terrible idea. 2. They are so afraid of Trump that they won’t say anything even though they know how much it is going to hurt their constituents and the country.

Elon Musk is correct! this is because of Trump and by this, i mean that local farms in Central California were almost flooded just so he could symbolically release water that does not even flow to Los Angeles

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

The US constitution was built to avoid centralized power and tyranny. It is not the constitution that is failing us. It is the partisans who have promised to uphold the constitution that are failing us.

Hold the fuck on —- what?!?

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot
