"Republicans would never glamorize vigilante justice! Democrats are sick!" Remind me, did Republicans condemn Kyle Rittenhouse after he went to a protest with AR-15 in hand to "defend local businesses" (that aren't even from his state and who never asked for his help) and killed two people? GTFO.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

idk but I’m thinking the guy impressed by Trump’s “business acumen” is someone the IRS probably could afford to lose

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

Trump has begun firing several hundred FAA employees. Guess who is visiting the FAA command center today to "suggest improvements"? Elon Musk, of course. The billionaire grift continues. https://apnews.com/article/doge-faa-air-traffic-firings-safety-67981aec33b6ee72cbad8dcee31f3437

Been thinking of this the last day or so. The game/MatPat-ification of stories over the last 10 years has really destroyed the landscape. You can't pick up a kid's novel without it being some crap ARG-related thing all about finding THE LORE that ties into some indie game you've never heard of.

Fraser’s whole thread is great, but this point has been on my mind too. I don’t know how this is all being reported in the US, but here in the UK at least, coverage on the BBC has been woeful. They remain stuck in “politician does things some might find controversial” language, not grasping reality.

We’re in for weeks of this on end. One of Musk’s tween haxx0rz stumbles into a complicated system they don’t understand, thinks they’ve discovered something earthshattering the veteran dunces never noticed, relays to Musk who also doesn’t understand, and broadcasts it to millions of followers.

Since JD Vance just converted to Catholicism 5 minutes ago, he might not know this: the Pope authoring a letter where he goes out of his way to correct you, specifically, is considered "bad" in the Catholic tradition

I know he was a massive asshole and mostly sucked but as Dem leaders respond to things like gutting NCFB and NIH with “we don’t know what our message should be” I think about Alan Grayson’s “the Republican healthcare plan is ‘don’t get sick, and die quickly’” and how it made the entire GOP melt down

My kid learned from Spider-Man that some kids have to pay for school lunch and is having a righteous meltdown about it bc “we HAVE to go to school so people have to FEED US and some people don’t have any quarters” so congrats, everyone in charge, an 8 yr old is beating you on both logic and empathy

Why are politicians talking about the destruction of Gaza as if it’s some random disaster? They know the truth: they spent 15 months rejecting our calls to stop arming Israel. Gaza must be rebuilt for Palestinians — and those responsible for its demolition must face justice.
