and we've got an excellent piece of the Brooklyn Bridge we'd like to sell you...

He ain't resigning. Instead, he's doing the flunky, doorman job of telling Zelensky, who was willing to continue the talks, to leave the White House.

Un. Real.

When you've lost Karl Rove...

Zelensky showed tremendous courage in February 2022, and has shown it in the years since. Why do so many other men hate and scorn him? Envy, in part. Resentment. A measure of self-awareness. I borrow a phrase from Shakespeare: they "hold their manhoods cheap."

these terminations are good evidence that this is just wanton destruction by deranged ideologues. there is no rhyme or reason other than whatever makes sense to a bunch of zoomer nazis and their bosses and enablers

This is one of his greatest, unfairly neglected, songs,!Thank ypu.

The Justice Department is continuing a wave of efforts to free Jan. 6 defendants jailed for crimes unrelated to the attack on the Capitol. Tongiht it's Ben Martin, who was convicted for possessing a firearm despite a criminal record for domestic violence.

👀 There's a court hearing tomorrow in the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops emergency bid to stave off State Department contract cuts. So today State abruptly canceled the conference's contract entirely and said Judge McFadden has no jurisdiction anymore.

Lindsey Graham is "challenging" the legality of Trump's foreign aid cuts SO QUIETLY that he is PUBLICLY SUPPORTING THEM

Let’s set aside the human cost of wholly needless suffering and death and focus on the much more interesting business of the horserace

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence. That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received. The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.

Breaking A federal judge will NOT pause his order giving the Trump admin a deadline of 11:59 p.m. tonight to pay all invoices for foreign development funds for contracts completed before Feb. 13. Doc https://buff.ly/3EWALvP

Let me translate two things this libertarian light nincompoop is saying: Personal liberties means doing whatever the fuck I want. Free markets means doing whatever the fuck I want. He’s an adult toddler.

when did the acting DOGE administrator become the acting DOGE administrator when did the acting DOGE administrator become the acting DOGE administrator WHEN DID THE ACTING DOGE ADMINISTRATOR BECOME THE ACTING DOGE ADMINISTRATOR

This is what we want.

Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) — 21 civil service employees are resigning from Elon Musk's DOGE, refusing to "dismantle critical public services."

When the FBI searched Jan. 6 defendant Jeremy Brown's home, they discovered illegal grenades, a sawed-off shotgun and classified information he retained after leaving the army. Today, DOJ says Donald Trump's pardon for J6 issues covers all of that.

HAPPENING NOW: A federal judge who ordered the unfreezing of USAID contract spending is voicing frustration as a Trump administration lawyer repeatedly refuses to say whether they have actually taken any steps to implement his 12-day-old order.

I don’t think they even necessarily believe it. They’re constitutionally incapable of behaving differently, one of many reasons why they have to go and be replaced by real leaders.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.
