Social Security will save $205B because it will not have to pay out benefits to 1.7M Americans who died from #COVID. fortune.com/2025/02/19/a...

The article about Russian mole Krasnov aka the piece of garbage illegally occupying the Oval Office has been defenestrated from cyberspace.

Something odd just happened—an article that had been widely published on media sites has suddenly disappeared without any retraction or explanation. Many may have come across it on Reddit.

This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.

I may be changing my opinion of AI.

Piece of garbage

I abandon completely my principled opposition to capital punishment for cruel cowards like this. In fact, I would gladly be the high executioner. #WolvesMatterHuntersDoNot

Vile vile creatures.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

More Luigis, more AOCs, more Jasmines, more Maxwell Frosts, more Melanie Stansburys, more Adam Kinzingers, fewer Chucks and Nancys. Sorry, dinosaurs, we need people with energy and fire when an asteroid is en route.

The ol circular firing squad style of governing, but with idiots.

this reminds me of the old comic strip The Wizard of Id, wherein the king says the peasants are revolting. Indeed they are.

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Screw him and his tariffs

If you haven’t seen this yet, please do. Because this morning something awesome happened that I’m going to say more about soon…. Hint: Georgia…. Town hall. It’s happening…. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Don’t give money to, volunteer for or cast your vote for Democrats who forget politics is a blood sport with winners and losers (usually us) not just a show up and get a participation trophy sport.

A Coup is Underway

For the minutes I watched this, on repeat, all my rage vanished. More dogs, fewer maracas.

Democrats in Congress now expecting participation trophies. I think we’ve allowed them to get by on just not being horrible for waaaay too long. #DOSomethingDemocrats

The garbage man: it’s good to be KING! ::bends the knee to Putin:: ::lets Elron Blubberd and his alphabet rugrat humiliate him in his own office::

Senator Marfaca got his. Too many members of Congress—and Dems aren’t exempt—believe that public service means enriching themselves and setting themselves up for a cushy post-Congressional life. So many people have nothing, there’s so much suffering they could alleviate, but they don’t.

More than 70 lawsuits have been filed against aspects of Trump's agenda in the first month of his term, according to Axios. More than two dozen court rulings have paused some of Trump's executive orders.

In this video Trae Crowder speculates about a moment in the future where rich white bigots will stop celebrating because they’re having to sell their bone marrow for fruit. Also, righteous vindication on our part will not save democracy.
