This is his normal look, you're just remembering wrong

Great work America

Buying beer for teenagers is illegal and cool

There's a stage of democracy where the rule of law remains strong enough to be a serious deterrent to would-be authoritarians. There's a later stage where the law can only slow down the authoritarians, buying you time. And then there's the stage where the law is instrumentalized BY authoritarians.

It’s really wild how there is no reason to deport anyone, let alone children and US citizens and LPRs and students and people undergoing cancer treatment etc. it’s all a fake solution to a made up problem enacted by violent racists who are stealing from you

FUCK these fascist goons, Elon has been talking about destroying Wikipedia, fascists cant abide information sources they can't control

i feel like trumpcoin, and the fact that we never talk about it, is pretty emblematic of the way the press refuses to grapple with trump. it exists in order to pay him bribes. it expressly gives you political access. it does not pretend to have a licit motive. it was a one-day scandal.

Never making a deal but just saying "Art of the deal" for 50 years and becoming president

One of the most difficult things to convince low-info voters of is that Trump lies wildly more than any other president - and does a ton more sky-is-green lies instead of distortions. They think all politicians lie so Trump is no different. Really difficult to get them to believe the scale.

Elon Musk should be at the top of the FBI's most wanted list

nobody pollutes like Elon

An administration of failed businessman

DOGE will absolutely (on lost tax revenues alone) cost more money than any claimed savings

Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.

Look. I’ve always been pretty far left in my politics, but I’m not some wussy cookie-cutter “leftist.” For one thing, I’m proudly pro-salmonella! Always have been. So this is absolutely the right thing to do, and I applaud the Trump administration. www.seattletimes.com/business/usd...

Tech keeps pushing AI into use well before it's ready. It's not just the privacy issue, **the chatbot doesn't work**, and it's a not a replacement for the thousands of staff that Musk and his tech bros have pushed out of the Social Security Administration.

Can I suggest we not use people's Social Security benefits as the guinea pig for unproven AI?

Trump is a traitor and Putin's useful tool

It’s already a win for Hegseth that the conversation is around if he should resign and not if he should be jailed.

It’s incredible that now the *best case* scenario is basically Trump engaging in a humiliating climb-down, but having already inflicted permanent damage and uncertainty that never be undone.

It is soooo cool that the world's largest military is run by Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon.

Americans broadly reject Trump’s fascist, pro-billionaire agenda. He’s cooked.

No presidency has ever crashed in approval like this so quickly. Partly, voters projected their own values onto Trump and didn't believe his campaign promises. But also, Trump lied through his teeth that he wouldn't implement the incredibly unpopular, fascist Project 2025 agenda. And then he did.

Terrorist training camp

Elon Musk’s official job title at X is Chief Technology Officer.

In America only the stupidest motherfuckers in the world get to be president

The most corrupt thing a president has ever done also fucking hilarious that a man with this hair and that neck could be president

No wonder him and Trump get along so well

A crime for a Democrat is just another day for a party of criminals

One of the tasks of the American anyone is to track this caterpillar browed fuck to his home and ***** *** *** * ****** *** **** ***** **** *** ** *****

This willbe you're reminder when threatened with lawsuits, Bluesky has elected to capitulate rather than ban extremely bigoted accounts.

Funny that maga has to paint themselves this color because Trump does

TRUMP AND BESSENT: We’re negotiating with China, this trade war will be resolved soon. CHINA: WTF are you talking about. www.ft.com/content/3e07...

BOSS: Are you high? ME: If I was high could I do this? BOSS: What? You aren't doing anything ME: sorry I'm super high. What was the question?

Out of his league doesn't begin to describe it

It is this fact, I think, that is going to end up costing the admin. Just a constant stream of stories of the countries whose production we can't replace saying "these guys don't seem to know what they're doing, their demands are absurd, get back to us when you're willing to be serious"

Nailed it

Logging on

what the fuck is happening

Trump wants laws like this more than he wants almost anything

as soon as i loosen this belt it's over for you britches

It’s almost impossible to properly calculate the harm Elon Musk has inflicted on this country

This has to be the most brazenly corrupt act in the history of the American presidency. Trump is holding a contest to see who can pay him the most money and the prize is direct access to the president It is literal pay-to-play
