Yes! The perfect messenger. They’re already used to seeing him on Fox and he’s a great debater and unflappable. The bit of gay is the reason MAGA will watch to see the big strong straight take on the gay. And that will not go well for them—Pete will make them think.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

It’s so frustrating

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Utter failure to grasp what we are facing www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/u... 1. People lack the framework to recognize an attempt to overthrow the constitutional order 2. The lack of elites *acting* like point 1 is true makes it illegible. Without Ds behaving as if it's a crisis, it's not a crisis.

Our parks are in chaos. We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s hiring freeze, the rescinding of hundreds of job offers, and the layoff of 5% of NPS staff have left us overwhelmed and short-handed.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

A lot of your have read declaration in USAID case from Marcus Doe, which described being evacuated from Kinshasa. Doc 24-2 here. www.courtlistener.com/docket/69619... A bunch of the other declarations are ALSO people who evacuated (including 24-4 a person w/3 under 10 kids who had to leave dog).

CFPB - closed USAID - closed Medicaid - under attack NIH cancer funding - frozen Department of Education - under attack But do you know who just got a NEW government contract for $38,858,978 literally today? SpaceX — owned by Elon Musk

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

calling it: this nike spot is the best one of the day

well this doesn't seem good

WTF #8646

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

Watch this. And then watch it again.

ok, so basically I'm trying to make this post go viral.

Another insane move designed to screw the American taxpayer and give large sums of money to the truly shady Intuit company.

Love this so much.

Saving baby pandas and also outraged by this incredible insane grift by men with track records of running companies into the ground. We must stop this.
