But that’s what they voted for. 🤷🏻‍♂️ (That, and the racism.) #FAFO

RIP Virginia. 🐻

Like the meme-coin of the same name, DOGE isn’t real. It’s an Avatar not an Agency. Blurred and opaque; accountable to nobody & fueled by politics, DOGE gives one man, an unelected, extremely conflicted, unqualified & unstable foreign billionaire unilateral unfettered access to the US government.

Do it.

“Engineer”

And I don’t drink too much Diet Coke.

With a pause on tariffs for Mexico and now Canada as well granted moments ago, US motorists for now will avoid a potential impact to fuel prices. However, prices move for many reasons, and am still expecting prices to begin rising seasonally soon.

This is Huxley. He hopes you're having a good day, but if not, he’s conveniently right here and an excellent listener. 14/10 (IG: hugoandursula)

No other state in the nation imports more goods to Canada than the Land of Lincoln, and Illinois is one of the Top 5 states in exports to both Canada and Mexico. All together, Illinois exports support 800,000 jobs – jobs now at risk thanks to Trump’s Tax on Working Families.

If there is any doubt that tariffs are passed through to consumers, the cost of propane to heat my house just went up by the amount of the tariff

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

Arguably the biggest national security breach in U.S. history. Private employees downloading personnel data on every federal employee and tax and social security data on every American onto private unsecured servers. Needless to say, completely illegal and subject to major prison sentences.

Oh? 👀

What we are witnessing is probably best described as a Private Equity leveraged buyout of a nuclear armed state

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

This right here! Promising to rebuild I-40 in one executive order and then closing down all related grants and contracts in the next order.

All of this is specifically meant to be enraging, exhausting, and overwhelming. It's designed that way so that we remain so busy trying to respond and make sense of it all that we don't have time to do anything meaningful about it before being forced to move on to the next thing they do.

In other words, “ICE sucks at this.”

I like to think about deez guys, now and then. And thank the Bears and BJ for shitting all over dem.

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

Just boosting this and adding the USAF's account of this. For accuracy, Top Gun is a Navy program, the Aerial Gunnery Competition was held by the newly-created Air Force back then. www.acc.af.mil/News/Article...

Checked a big one off my Queen of the Skies bucket list tonight! The National Air 747 that formerly flew as the Global Supertanker — the largest fire fighting tanker in the world! Some info: globalsupertanker.biz www.ch-aviation.com/news/104614-...

“.. I've been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.”

"What should we make electric cars sound like?" "A choir of wailing ghosts." *everyone laughs* "Okay, but really, guys." *nine hours later* "So we're going with the choir of wailing ghosts?"

BREAKING: Building being wrecked demolished.

Detroit fans gonna be as shitty on the socials about this as they’ve been about BJ?
