Pentagon Removes Webpages Celebrating Racial Integration of the Armed Forces talkingpointsmemo.com/news/pentago...

I'm going to stop reading this article here and just conclude that this is a very bad idea. I'm going to assume that a scientist, later in the article, will say this will cause the H5N1 to mutate, then jump to infect humans causing us to become brain eating zombies. Seems logical.

I remember it being unpleasant & a lot less fudge-y.

If you got parents on Social Security, you may want to have them check their status.

5pm ET, hearing on Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act and the defiance of court order. The public can listen by telephone. Let the number of callers show we are paying attention.

No kings.

Reminder

Great summary of the current moment

Because tax cuts to the rich are very, very important.

We are being ruled by evil MFers.

"Insanity is not a strategy" Good to quote.

A not so old post

There's always an old tweet (or post or whatever)

I’m Jewish and the son of Jewish refugees who immigrated to America, so some might accuse me of seeing antisemitism where it doesn’t exist. So it’s sadly reassuring to see that the great historian Timothy Snyder saw the Oval Office debacle the way I did: open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

🤣🤣🤣

Epic idea

Trumpcession. The biggest self own in American history

A "holy shit"moment from @pkrugman.bsky.social. I never thought I would live to see the day

Marco Rubio wins the 2025 Neville Chamberlain look alike award

🤣🤣🤣

The Orson Wells movie "Citizen Kane" gives you everything you need to know about very rich people. Seriously.

You think losing $18 billion of net value in the first 2 months of the year was bad. Yikes

Moving from over $400 billion to $300 billion doesn't sound like a big deal, but it still seems to bite.

happy monday all (to everyone who hasn’t checked their portfolios)

Elon Musk says today's X outage was caused by a "massive cyberattack" and the company is "tracing" the perpetrator. Don't be surprised if he blames, obviously without evidence, 'Zelensky government-associated hackers' as a politically convenient scapegoat for his own mismanagement.

Why is X down? Follow the playbook. Blame first. Generate "facts" later.

Ugh...

every single public facing person in this administration is just a different variation on baghdad bob

Jeezus. That is tragic.

Meanwhile, as government services become slashed and we stab Ukraine in the back, an ominous plan to use tax dollars to create a crypto reserve develops. "If the crypto strategic reserve does happen, the price of crypto will skyrocket. Then, if history is any guide, insiders will sell out."

I wish there something we can do to prevent this.

And incontinence.

This was stupid and wasteful to begin with

Sounds like another bad DOGE decision

There's always an old tweet.

The smartest take of Trump's long premeditated attack on Zelensky

It's clear that Trump doesn't want a deal. So he'll have to resign for the good of the country in order to get someone in the room who can work with Jeffries and Democrats. Isn't that how this works? Asking for a friend.

B of A: “.. 2025 tax refunds are running 53% below 2024 levels through week 4 of tax season, per Treasury data." 🇺🇸

(WSJ) - The world economy could face a crash similar to the Great Depression of the 1930s unless the U.S. rows back on its plans to impose steep tariffs on imports, a senior official at the International Chamber of Commerce warned. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/trad...
