Hey everyone, I found the brilliant, palate-cleansing antidote to that witless thing in the Atlantic that @jamellebouie.net dunked on a few days ago. From @rtraister.bsky.social: tiny.cc/o2za001

News flash for cautious, poll-obsessed professional Democrats and advisers: it turns out that people actually *do* care about Trump gutting USAID. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Ryan Cooper @ryanlcooper.com putting this sh*tshow in proper historical perspective: prospect.org/world/2025-0...

"Encyclopedia Brownshirt" FTW, and yes, I'll take them where I can get them

It is no consolation whatsoever that white supremacists and eugenicists are literally the dumbest and most vicious people in the world

Let me guess. The fired air traffic controllers will be replaced by Tesla trucks?

Soon-to-be-renamed Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announces 2025 schedule devoted entirely to the films of Dinesh D'Souza

To be scrupulously fair, prayer did put an end to demonic possession except in the case of RFK Jr.

So President Musk needs $400 million for armored Teslas that will be used to mow down people protesting the cuts to Medicaid, right?

There's this great line in the Snoop Dogg / Willie Nelson song "My Medicine"-- "You can trust every word I'm gonna say will be a lie"-- and I hereby propose it as the official motto of the Musktrump Administration

He used to be an internationalist, but since Jan 20 he's been outraged by USAID

Hey everyone I found the fraud in Washington

Tell me JD is just pretending to be this stupid

Looks like Musk is serious about trying to reduce the US population to 100 million

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Every single Democrat needs to read this right now

Yes but at least Elon will have earned that tax cut with all his hard work

I am guessing that one of the Muskovites read "I Am Legend" and thought "wow cool let's do *that*"

Locus Magazine has just named "The Ex-Human" to its Recommended Reading list for 2024 and I just want to note that the book's epilogue is actually entirely appropriate to the moment we're living through locusmag.com/2025/02/2024...

Pete Hegseth now demanding that MLB and the NFL change back the names of the Cleveland and Washington franchises

Maybe we should make elected officials take an oath of some kind

Seems obvious from their attacks on USAid that Trump and Musk are literally 100 percent batshit insane

President Musk now has access to all your internet passwords and has signed you up for $3000/month of his neo-Nazi newsletters, cross-referenced with his Treasury and DOJ accounts. @nytimes.com hed tomorrow morning: "Musk, Defying Expectations, Boldly Seizes an Historic Opportunity."

Trump still mad about the way the Chinese sliced up that ship with nanomaterials as it passed through the Panama Canal

What crisis? The Declaration of the Constitution, Article IX, clearly states that the Founding Fathers (who were all Christians btw) delegated all authority to President Musk

Hegseth and Vance are the most qualified public servants in the history of qualifications

Seanie's going a heckuva job
