every college, corporate, and nonprofit president right now

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Let's not forget that in keeping with the worst people in the world work for Donald Trump theme, Sean Parnell's now ex-wife testified under oath that he "choked her until she bit him to escape, that he hit their young children, and that he lashed out at her with obscenities and insults."

Weird flex for a department that opened by pardoning 1,500 domestic terrorists on day one….

I'm looking for my next thing, and I need to move fast. I have several years of experience in developer relations from startups to the enterprise, and I'm particularly skilled at distilling complex topics into something easily understood by newbies and non-technical folks alike, on stage or off. 1/3

News Analysis: On spending, oversight and other issues, Republican lawmakers have willingly ceded power traditionally reserved for Congress to President Trump.

The CR before the senate surrenders Congress' power to reign in the arbitrary tariffs Trump is slapping on everyone. The economy is in an open nose dive right now and they want to vote to unscrew the controls.

👇🎯 Everything since January 20 boils down, ultimately, to a total failure of everyone in the legislative branch to fulfill their damn oaths of office to country & Constitution.

This. Full stop

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

I'm honestly running out of words I can use on the air to describe what's happening in and to this economy

Why are all the real pedophiles prominent Republicans?

There is no opposition party in the US with leadership like this.

Only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove Chuck Schumer from leadership and replace him with someone willing to fight

Chuck Schumer is a call to action not a name

JPMORGAN slashes $TSLA Q1 delivery estimates “to just ~355K, which is -8% y/y .. and -28% q/q from 495K in 4Q24 .. “.. We struggle to think of anything analogous in the history of the automotive industry, in which a brand has lost so much value so quickly ..” Cuts target price to $120 (prior $135

This, precisely, is what I think Dem voters want from their representatives: direct confrontation with people who are used to bullying others both as a matter of substance and style. You don't have to back down to these fucking clowns.

and it's so easy to win when you do, you are dealing with the literal softest most cowardly coddled people to enter public life in like the last 100 years, they have no idea what to even do when someone punches back

Trump pardoned insurrectionists (including some with the "terrorism" enhancement in their conviction), pardoned the operator of Silk Road, and imported human traffickers arrested in Romania, but, sure, the real threat is vandalism against the company run by his fraudster buddy.

He is lying. I was on Columbia's campus the day Johnson visited, April 24. The congressional delegation spoke from the steps of the Low Library, hundreds of feet from the pro-divestment encampment. No one could even hear Johnson– only press microphones. He was heckled. That's all.

So, wait. For basically ever, men were earning way more than their female counterparts, and the messaging was that women were "too emotional" or whatever. And the second women start earning more than men, men completely lose their shit and it's a "crisis" "gripping" them? What a bunch of losers.

I think we have to agree that JD is such a sniveling little bitch.

Musk is a sensitive little orchid and I wish more people would figure out that it’d be really easy to push him over the edge simply by being meaner to him.

This whole saga has, I think, demonstrated very well my contention that American political journalists believe that they deserve all of the respect and deference that comes with filling a vital societal role, while rejecting the idea that holding such a position also entails duties and obligations.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

So... the same reason he was impeached? Violating the Impoundment Control Act by way of an extortion scheme?

This is as good a summary as any of Trump's approach to government: it's awful and I don't know anything about it

Guess what company those charging stations would have competed with

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

One thing elected Dems could do is put this 86 year old woman on TV and have her explain how Elon Musk and the Little Eichmanns are trying to murder her. Just a thought!

Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac. The President and extreme MAGA Republicans are blaming women and people of color for the deadly plane crash. At the same time, they are dismantling the Federal Aviation Administration as we know it. Disgusting.

Here's your lede: With bodies still being fished out of the Potomac River, Donald Trump went on a partisan, racist and entirely unsubstantiated rant today, blaming diversity hiring and Democrats for Monday’s calamitous collision between a passenger jet and a military aircraft..

elon musk directed the primary regulator of his primary business -- a federal contractor -- to resign. he holds no office other than 'president's largest donor.' at an oligarch's command, he resigned. one week later, the first aviation crash in the last sixteen years happened.

Another point in the "not politicizing the disaster" discussion is that the President of the United States has immediately taken to social media to start wildly speculating and casting blame, so you know what, go wild.

Just a guy watching tv and posting, with no sense that he’s personally responsible for massively disrupting most of the institutions involved and the lives of their personnel

reminder: whenever republicans say they are opposed to dei initiatives, they are just saying "n**ger." it's just the "polite" way to say it these days.

Dude. The "npc trap" is (1) using terms like "npc trap" and (2) doing the exact same suck up shit that every other CEO is doing.
