“.. ‘I don’t know if there’s ever been a greater destruction of brand equity in this short amount of time,’ said Tom Price. ‘Tesla has become a four-wheel billboard for the immolation of our democracy.’” @bloomberg.com $TSLA www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Do you think anyone is media will ask why the President is talking about convicted Pete Rose who was also a statutory rapist and pissed all over baseball in the middle of the night?

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Call your Senators & Reps tomorrow morning, especially the GOP ones, & demand support for Ukraine. Every GOP official needs to be asked if they are behind Trump & believe we should ally with Putin over Zelensky.

I wrote this back when I used to write actual news stories. Let's see how many political reporters transcribing Trump's post from last night see fit to include this bit! www.nbcsports.com/mlb/news/wom...

“If Roosevelt had told Churchill to sue for peace on any terms with Adolf Hitler and to fork over Britain’s coal reserves to the United States in exchange for no American security guarantees, it might have approximated what Trump did to Zelensky.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

BREAKING: Federal judge issues preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of parts of two of Trump’s anti-trans executive orders (orders defining “sex” and restricting gender-affirming medical care) in Washington, Colorado, Minnesota, and Oregon. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-tran...

For the record Pres. Zelenskyy has thanked the United States and Americans - 33 times to date including in an emotional speech to Congress.

What you saw today was the Russian mob acting out of the Oval Office.

America is made from the scraps of the world's table and that is our ultimate strength and they fucking despise that

one thing that drives me mad about all the claremonster ghouls is they *clearly* hate that they're americans and can't be some kind of "real" blood & soil eurofash (thus all the obsession with Orban and Franco)

I want off the ride.

i think it’s worth saying that every person you know or follow who follows politics is going to lose their fucking mind on a regular basis over the coming years. that definitely includes me. you should judge their takes on those grounds.

Because enough people voted for him. I keep trying to couch that in the fact they were manipulated. But maybe everyone is just racist, misogynist, hateful, trash.

This one probably has to do with how his ex-wife is a Russian propagandist who has unhinged horseshoe politics

The part where Zelenskyy challenged Vance to “come once” to actually see Ukraine and Vance stammered into a quick talking point about the stories he’s seen on TV was the most revealing part. They’re cowards who have to keep the debate moving fast to prevent people from seeing that.

Affluenza. We built a system that works so well that we forgot why we built it and elected to destroy it to bring back 2019

The body language could not be more different and is exactly why I despise each of them.

literally every time I talk to friends

Oh. My. God. Worse and worse!

The information environment in this country is a f'ing Superfund site, and the people who steer political coverage at some of the nation's most storied newsrooms are among the heaviest pourers of sludge.

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it: Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?

NEW: Voice of America is in upheaval. Journalists are facing HR investigations for comments critical of Trump. One of VOA's highest-profile journalists was put on leave today after a Trump aide called him a traitor. And the White House bureau chief was reassigned. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/b...

**Major** update to this story, and something I'll continue reporting on through the weekend: 🚨 The new acting IRS commissioner has indicated she plans to comply with DHS's request for the addresses of 700,000 suspected undocumented immigrants. 🚨 www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

If I wrote this, you all would say I was taking the bit too far, wouldn't you?

"Both were side projects of the author's main hobby, inventing languages for mice"

It's more than a little bizarre that the press was more vocal and judgmental about Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal than the current unscheduled rapid disassembly of our entire democracy and civil service.

Pandemic-era Keynesian stimulus saved Silicon Valley (along with the rest of us) and many of them came out of the experience determined never to let it happen again

The American state rn

People realizing we’re gonna touch the stove

While Canadians are not generally known for flag waving, President Trump’s repeated threats have led to a surge in flag sales. The country’s flag makers are struggling to keep up with soaring demand.

DO IT. BE A LEGEND.

MY GOD LINDSEY GRAHAM IS ONE DISGUSTING P.O.S. HERE IS LINDSEY GRAHAM BEFORE LISTEN PLEASE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

“It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength.” From the WSJ Ed Board. www.wsj.com/opinion/puti...

Fourteen retired federal judges, including Nancy Gertner and Shira Scheindlin, argue that if Judge Dale Ho finds that DOJ's request to dismiss the Eric Adams case is part of a quid pro quo, he should reject the request and maybe appoint a special prosecutor. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

This is Trump fucking up

"Have you said thank you once?"

The Cold War never ended, and right now we've lost it.

"you're gonna hate what comes after"
