America decided they couldn't vote for the for the black woman and were willing to gamble on the guy who fucked up the first time and tried to overthrow the government when he was told to leave because they wanted lower prices. So now you get fascism and higher prices.

Lolololol

Elon Musk's X has quietly released its latest transparency report as required by EU regulation according to X, the platform lost more than 11 million monthly active users in the EU over the past 5 months its EU user base has fallen below pre-Musk levels https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-x-twi

It’s so weird that more people aren’t just losing their shit about how bad Trump is getting. He’s more deranged every day and we still see pundits writing about his “strategy.” There’s no strategy. There’s no plan. The president is not sane.

Luther Burden in Chicago, good LORD that's awesome

Trump Opens Up Nation’s Aquariums To Commercial Fishing

Harem Scare 'Em SpaceX sultan Elon has enough concubines for 1001 nights. But it’s not a bottle that he rubs to get his wish for more children. by Maureen Dowd

For those breaking the constitution on behalf of Donald Trump with the assumption that he has your back: he may. But he’s 78, never exercised in his life, and will be president max another 3.5 years. There will be not statute of limitations for violating it

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

my favorite amy klobuchar story from my youth: back when she was the hennepin county attorney, my bff’s mom was the ramsey county attorney they both agreed to run a charity 5k. BFF and I were like 3/4 of the way through the course, and saw Klob get dropped off and pretend she ran the whole thing

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

No, Trump isn't cratering our economy. The entire Republican Party is cratering our economy. The enablers deserve just as much blame as Trump.

10 national unions repping 3 million members demand the release of abducted immigrant workers and call for employers and university admins to refuse to cooperate and elected officials to “find their spines.” This is the way. labornotes.org/blogs/2025/0...

Trump said if America elected the wrong president, the market would crash. Well...

An interesting aspect of Trump mythology is how many on the right bought into the manufactured idea that Trump is "good at business." When he never has been. He's good at branding, and knows how to monetize his brand, often through dishonesty. And then right-wingers fell for his dishonest brand.

Okay lets game this out: You are a Nintendo employee given unlimited funds and authority to move Switch 2 production to the US. No new factories, that's going to take way too long, you need to work with existing American Contract Manufacturing capacity. How fast can you do it? 1/x

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

Every time this shitgibbon doesn't know something, he assumes nobody else in the world knows either.

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

The Trump administration called it an “administrative error.” But that error led to a nightmare for Maryland Resident Abrego Garcia.

Elon Musk is transparently talking out of his nasty unwashed asshole. No one under any circumstance should capitulate to this pathetic unrepentant Nazi whose own children find him repulsive. We have a right to say whatever the fuck we want about his shitty cars & I hope we bankrupt him

A town hall erupts in boos and yelling as Rep. Edwards says he voted for the House Republican budget framework. Edwards: And you wonder why folks don’t want to do these town halls.

remember how Wile E. Coyote used to hold up a little sign saying ‘help’ or ‘oh no’ or some such just before the huge boulder crushed him

The economy's getting worse, it's Trump's fault, the public's noticing, and a chunk of his 2024 vote was based on the misguided belief that he's good at managing the economy. Interesting discussion with @gregsargent.bsky.social and @simonwdc.bsky.social on the public reaction, and what Dems can do.

Striking how easily you can get millions of people to vote for a boot on their own face just by lying to them about the boot going on someone else's face.

Bulls win 142-110 in Philadelphia. Matas Buzelis wins his first game as a starter after playing a career-high 36 minutes. Six Bulls finished with scoring in double digits. Josh Giddey led with 25 points. And the play-in tournament dreams stay alive!!!

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general: "I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"

Meet the NFL's next great slot receiver. I spoke with Iowa State's Jaylin Noel about his vertical play style, his relationship with Jayden Higgins, and what made the iconic duo so special in Ames. www.the33rdteam.com/2025-nfl-dra...

for months, smart people on here and elsewhere have written that the endgame is to crash the value of the dollar. Even I, a purebred alarmist, thought *they can't be that evil/stupid*. Whoopsie!

People gotta get it through their thick skulls: Elon Musk is not actually good at business. Tesla would have died many times over by now, if not for outright fraud. The tactics he is using on government now have destroyed Twitter as an experience and business. His other companies aren't profitable.

Alright, it's about 5:30 PM ET, wife has headed out to cello practice, so I'm going to keep it classy here and watch a few hours of 80s and early 90s rock videos! These are recorded from Metal Mayhem on MTV Classic, I skip the very hard stuff and stick with the glam mostly Mega thread incoming...

Rubio's state dept appointee is a white supremacist and a misogynist. I remember not too long ago when a Republican who said this would be disqualified from high profile federal jobs forever.

Start investing for retirement as early as possible.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…
