Oh by the way, I emailed Musk at [email protected] my week’s productivity, which involved walking my sister’s German Shepard, Boubou, picking up his poo-poo 💩, my bowel movements, how many times I cussed him per day, etc. And I encourage everyone to email Musk at [email protected] their weekly productivity

Hopefully dead

Let’s game things out a bit: if in 2028 we turn things around, what’s the single largest pot of federal money that: -can be fucked with without breaking society/killing lots of people/economic collapse, etc -only benefits constituencies that are extremely republican and aren’t in swing areas

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

Another thing that many of the "why didnt Dems just wildly break the law" ppl seem to miss. Trump is making a mess, true, but in terms of actually succeeding at his broader plan, he is largely failing thus far bc the judiciary is saying "no you cant break the law to do this stuff." It matters!

Dunking on conservative media literacy is getting boring but one of the actual godfather’s most famous lines is “a man who doesn’t spend time with his family is not a man at all”

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have fired “multiple FAA lawyers whose job was to help prevent pilots with drug and alcohol problems from getting in the cockpit.” Musk and Trump want you to die in an airplane crash. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

REVISED UP WOW 3.5% level means highest since 1995!!!! This is going to catch a bunch of Fed attention.

It turns out that this was projection from ambitious social climbers who were interested in conservatism solely for the sake of conserving their own privilege.

The right wing woman is not insincere in her politics, but she *is* tactical: she believes that sexual and reproductive service to right wing men will earn her their protection, affection, and material support. She is wrong.

NEW: Get ready for delayed tax refunds, long hold times + dropped calls with the IRS, thanks to Trump illegally firing more than 6,000 employees there today. *Except if you're a wealthy tax evader. You will now "feast" as the IRS strains to function. www.huffpost.com/entry/irs-ma...

Investments in US clean energy manufacturing and supply chains have been mixed since 1/20/25. My research students at @wellesley.edu and I are tracking it. Here is what has progressed and what has slowed in wind, solar, EV, and battery sectors after Trump 2.0 + 1 month. 1/4 #energysky

Oh look the thing we all knew would happen happened.

NEW: We are suing three Maryland drivers who racked up more than $90,000 in fines for dangerous driving violations in DC. These are the first lawsuits brought under the STEER Act. This new civil authority empowers OAG to make our roads safer by holding dangerous drivers from any state accountable.

State AGs are looking for federal workers who have just been illegally fired to stand as litigants in a new lawsuit trying to freeze further action by DOGE. DM me if that’s you and you’re interested and you’re live in one of the following states: NM, AZ, CA, CT, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, WA, RI, or VT.

Lol

That’s how you write a headline, people.

Finally got the library ebook of bowling alone, been having trouble reading things this year

I cannot think of anything more profoundly un-American than a president declaring himself a “king”

Abruptly firing people who work in air traffic control is like murdering your own soldiers in the middle of a war. Even if you think things now aren’t working as efficiently as they should there’s no clear path to recovering from this; it’s just a really extremely foolish and dangerous thing to do.

Art of War was a manual for 5th century BC noble failsons to prevent them from losing the entire army to diarrhea. This is why it appeals so much to oligarch failsons of the 21st century AD.

Brian Gibbs had no clue Friday would be his last day at his dream job. The education technician park ranger at Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa reported to work, only to be terminated on despite receiving an exceptional performance evaluation in the fall.

trying to imagine how loud the calls for my firing would be if i didn’t know who FDR was

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

"Project 2025 approved SSA administrator steps down just 3 weeks into the administration, giving up a GS-15 career in the process, because she knew even one more week on the job would risk putting her in prison for decades" is a very good and comforting sign (Musk's touching the stove)

if you told someone in 2008 that Drudge Report would be better at writing hard-hitting headlines than actual news outlets you would be laughed out of whatever room you were in

Once again, I am begging a federal judge to utilize their inherent power, hail Musk into court, and sit his ass in the witness chair. Force him to say under oath that he has no involvement in DOGE.

A key to understanding this is that the people who were committing PPP fraud are the base of Trump and the Republican Party's support

trump take eggs, trump take jobs, trump take chickens, trump make car sauce more exponsive
