Damn. Steube pulled the Jesus card on Moses Mike. www.notus.org/congress/tru...

Trump moves forward with plans for a $45 billion archipelago of concentration camps across the country to house his enemies.

The Shining City on a Hill has turned into a steaming pile of shit.

This has been done by Elon Musk. No explanation yet of why or who is behind this company. No competitive bidding process for the contract.

Who did this?

For Mr. Revenge who is very, very mad at Putin, it seems a bit unusual that Russia had no tariffs slapped on them...hmmmm

List of countries not subjected to tariffs: Russia Belarus North Korea Cuba They apparently took the time to impose tariffs on several uninhabited islands, so the omissions are extra noteworthy. If you spot others please flag!

Is this cancel culture?

Today, we are being liberated from the burden of economic prosperity and growth! Happy Liberation Day! (Remember: we have always been allies with Eurasia… George Orwell)

Elon Musk invested tens of millions and most of his calendar to a Supreme Court race in Wisconsin, and polling showed his presence cost his candidate at least 5% of the vote. It's not just Tesla. Musk is also a toxic brand. www.ft.com/content/2c3f...

Musk's toxicity and Tesla's toxicity are mutually reinforcing

American women friends. Are you aware one of the policies listed in the SAVE Act, the GOP are pushing through, is that women’s birth certificate names must match your current name. All of it. Changed your name when you got married? You won’t be able to vote. Call your Congress members!

The Department of Government Efficiency, for example

BREAKING via WaPo: Mike Waltz and other members of Trump's National Security Council conducted government business over personal Gmail accounts, where they held conversations about highly sensitive information, including about military positions, powerful weapons systems, and more

This weekend, the so-called "Tesla Shield" came out to defend Elon Musk and counter the #TeslaTakedown protests. Among those taking part: • MAGA • Proud Boys • Armed Militias • And a guy dressed as Hitler www.wired.com/story/proud-...

Our government has spent $100,000 a person to hold migrants at the Gitmo concentration camp for less than six weeks. That's about $17,000/week for each migrant. They could have stayed at a Ritz-Carlton for that. What's this you say about government waste and efficiency, Elon?

40% of U.S.-affiliated Nobel Prize winners in the sciences (physics, chemistry and medicine) between 2000 and 2023 were immigrants. Now America's leading research scientists are scrambling to get jobs in Europe and Canada as Trump pulls the plug on nearly all scientific research in the US.

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

1. The Social Security Administration and DOGE are GASLIGHTING AMERICANS. They are telling millions of beneficiaries that reports they were closing SSA field offices were fake news. Actually, these closures were PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED and LEASES WERE CANCELED. 🧵

In every other democracy, the legal system defends democracy. In America, a legal system captured by Opus Dei defends an Opus Dei supported autocrat and elevates him above the law. It's the core vulnerability of America's institutions at this point.

For the right price, paid in hand, you can get an exemption from any EPA rule that bothers you. Trump discovers a new wonderful cash cow. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Justice in Mississippi. A sheriff in Mississippi, the highest paid and most powerful public figure in his county, staffed his mother’s commercial chicken farm with inmates from the local jail and used taxpayer-purchased equipment to improve it, an investigation by NYT and Mississippi Today found.

Elon Musk, the dude who's been having regular private chats with Vladimir Putin for years, "accidentally" discloses the identity of people who have been receiving grants from the US Government to engage in projects in Russia, and other authoritarian governments. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Well, this is awkward. My congressman, Sam Graves, voted no on the infrastructure bill during the Biden administration…

Schadenfreude is the diluted version of what I feel

Why aren’t you wearing a suit? Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

The Red Cross said it is gravely concerned about the fate of nine Palestine Red Crescent ambulance crew missing for seven days in Gaza. The organization has not had any contact with the crew since they came under heavy fire while operating in Rafah in the early hours of March 23 reut.rs/41SVI3P
