For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands. 👇

CPAC is a Klan rally without the hoods. Oh, and with Nazis. Just because people are well-dressed doesn’t mean they’re not trash. They’re saying all the quiet parts out loud now.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

If what’s going on isn’t unethical, I don’t know what is. Maybe we should all call/email the US Office of Government Ethics and voice our complaints. Be a squeaky wheel.

We have reached out to the company who was awarded this contract and they have confirmed the ceiling was $8 million—NOT billion. Here is their statement. The federal government is cooking the books.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

A better headline would be: “Thom Tillis Voted for a Disastrous Defense Secretary Because He Loved His Senate Seat More Than Our Country.”

Is it insane that I’m feeling like the only thing that can save us at the moment is Donald Trump’s ego and the fact that he lashes out impulsively when he’s being mocked?

Had an X account less than 2 weeks to see Elon’s destruction firsthand. I’ve been providing facts, figures, visuals, and civics in response to the absolute delusion I’ve seen. Now I’m censored. The pie chart really pisses them off when you point out they’re not the majority of Americans.

So nothing, the answer is that @schumer.senate.gov and the Senate Dems are going to do nothing. Fuck! They won’t even fight back in any meaningful way. It’s time for the old guard to get phased out. I’m starting to think they’re either scared or complicit.

Musk totally humiliated Trump during their joint Oval Office press conference. Musk brought along his 4-year-old son — making Trump look like the kid’s babysitter — disrespectfully wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump. It’s clear who’s really in control, and it ain’t Trump.

Google Maps has officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" after Trump's executive order. And a new Republican bill would let Trump rename Greenland "Red, White and Blueland." Still no word on lowering the cost of groceries, however.

Your daily reminder that Elon Musk and his assistant, Donald Trump, are liars and thieves. Musk brought in software coders, not auditors, under the phony DOGE banner. He wasn’t looking for waste; he was looking to hack into our data. And he was looking for propaganda to distract us from the heist.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

Ewwwww, Travis! (in my best Alexis Rose voice) I know NFL players aren’t supposed to talk politics while doing press, but damn, he could have at least tried evasion. Another knee bent, I guess. www.reuters.com/sports/nfl/k...

They say women are so emotional but then a man goes and buys an entire social media platform so he can win another man an election because he can’t himself run for president so he can go ruin all the organizations he holds grudges against, sure bro.

Jesus, Liberals need to stop fighting with each other. Yes, one side took a moral stance that helped Trump win. And the other side was willing to overlook what’s happening in Palestine to keep Trump out of office. IT CAN BE TRUE THAT BOTH TAKES SUCK! And, you both lost. Now unite or we’re fucked!

If anyone is calling Senator Ted Budd today, ask him why the fuck he is offering condolences to the family of Rebecca Lobach on X, when his overlord Trump said she lost her life because DEI policies allowed her to hold her position despite incompetence. Such blatant contradictory disrespect!

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.
