Hey media, and hell, dems too... Stop saying DOGE is cutting programs and firing people. Congress controls the "purse" Congress controls funding. Congress is run by Republicans. So Republicans are cutting funding and firing everyone. Give them the credit they deserve.

I’m confused by all the headline references to a “shouting match.” I saw one side shouting and the other side getting shouted over when he tried to talk.

Before asserting that something like this is happening because he says he can do it, journalists should ask what the statutory authority is, and if it is unclear or nonexistent, the headline and story should reflect that.

Something to understand about the nazi salute nonsense is that back during Reconstruction there was a cottage industry of Klan denial, where Democratic papers would pretend the KKK didn't exist or point to their stupid rituals as evidence they were a Republican delusion or otherwise harmless

Guys, Muskrat finally figured out that he can be liable, personally, for the wrongful terminations. So now he's not responsible for DOGE. THAT, is the reason for the WH nonsense thst came out last night.

“Forty-one U.S. senators could use the filibuster to block most legislation that enables the funding of Musk’s companies. With 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and two independents in the Senate, such a push is numerically possible, though politically difficult.“

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

The Trump Administration's list of censored scientific terms that get NSF grant proposals flagged contains "women” and “female”, but no mention of “men” or “male.” There is “black” and “indigenous” on this list, but no “white.” The only identity not censored is mine. youtu.be/dHXbpj1Z3UU

We are in the midst of an administrative coup the like of which we have never seen - or even imagined - in our lifetimes. Every day brings new abuses, new scandals, which can’t just be undone or fixed. We are in a very dark place as a country and as a constitutional republic right now.

Saying data is "read only" isn't much comfort. That just means it can't be manipulated where it currently resides. That doesn't preclude it from being copied and fed elsewhere, such as into Musk's AI. And not wanting our stuff swallowed up by that is part of why many of us are here and not on X.

Since all the transphobes are quiet about the possibility of the Department of Education getting eliminated, I guess it was never about protecting women’s sports after all, since the DOE is the department that enforces Title IX.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

It’s really wild how much Trump doesn’t even understand basic economics and instead is just performatively signing EOs that are meaningless. He is a figurehead head of state while Elon Musk runs the government.

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.
