In November, they voted for Trump. In February, he laid them off. For the next election, they're thinking Trump.

PBS Newshour gave a twelve minute interview to Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, who has called for the “eradication” of trans people from society

He wants Elon to hurt more people, even as his poll numbers are down not up: www.instagram.com/reel/DGTS6V4... There’s a book about leaders counting on the truth not reaching their supporters. It’s called ‘1984’ — forget “Truth Social”, it’s “Ministry of Truth Social”

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

This is how it’s done.

elon musk at cpac was so fucking weird you guys I know this reads like a parody but I literally just wrote down what happened www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

The total number of people receiving Social Security benefits in 2024 is exactly 68,455,973. This is public data. His DOGE guys don't know how to work with data.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

soon enough, the mere presence of black and latino students on campus will be illegal racial discrimination against white students www.insidehighered.com/news/diversi...

6:25PM The line is progressing northeast, and heading across the river. Severe t'storm warnings have been popping up along the leading edge as it progresses our way. /LG

6:00pm Storm that is tornado is warned heading into NW Shelby and SW Tipton. Shelby Forest area, as well as Millington, Rosemark, and Drummonds to Munford and Atoka need to be in their safe spaces!

Even for Memphis, this forecast is absolutely unhinged. 70 degrees and thunderstorms with possible tornados today, then it’s gonna snow, then it’s going to be 9 degrees.

Memphis peeps: This account will be your best friend today if the weather gets crazy. They're local and awesome.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Our area is now under a level 3 (Enhanced) severe weather risk for tomorrow. General t'storms may start late tonight, but the highest severe risk will be ~2-8pm. A few PM supercells may form, but an early evening squall line is expected. (1/3)

A chilly evening is ahead, with temps already in the upper 30s and dropping. Tomorrow morning will bring us back to our winter reality, with lows below freezing! It'll warm up to near 40 for the high, but some sunshine will be blocked by clouds. Grab your coat on the way out! /LG

[NEW MWN BLOG] An interesting week of weather is on tap as we deal with the potential for multiple hazards: severe storms, flooding rain, and possibly even s**w! Everything we know right now is in tonight's blog: www.memphisweather.net/blog/2025/02... #memwx

MAJOR EFFICIENCY WIN: the CFPB that’s returned over $21,000,000,000.00 to scammed americans now being dissolved to save every american $2.00 annually

the “administrative state” in practice is a lot of very hard working, practically anonymous people doing the thankless work of making this country run and a drug-addled dipshit is slandering them in order to steal our money for himself

I voted for Trump. But when he said he was going to wreck the economy, I didn’t know that he really meant that he was going to wreck the economy.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

This album seems super relevant again, and it still fucking slaps.

EXCLUSIVE: Candidates for national security roles in the new administration have been posed loyalty questions, such as: Was Jan. 6 an inside job, and Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? They were asked to give straight "yes" or "no" answers. Here's our story. wapo.st/3EF3aWN

There it is

In the interest of trying to get completely off all Meta shit, I'm gonna post my boring car nerd videos here instead of Instagram. I also enjoy the irony of filming on my RayBan Metas and posting to Bluesky.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Update: It's 2025 and people still have no idea how old millennials are.

Be like Charles Schulz.

It’s worth noting that the president of the United States today made more racist comments than we’ve seen any president make publicly in, what, a century? More publicly racist comments than many presidents who were, with history’s eye, virulently racist humans, but ones who at least knew their role.

Boy, these last eight days feel like a good reminder why democracies generally avoid letting people who attempt a coup come back to power….

Meals on Wheels America spox on OMB pause: "the uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels providers not knowing whether they should be serving meals today. Which unfortunately means seniors will panic not knowing where their next meals will come from."
