WSJ says Twitter is telling advertisers to spend more with them “or else” — “They are afraid of the legal/political ramifications of not doing so.” Do y’all get it yet? www.wsj.com/business/med...

Greg Abbot’s voucher program will accelerate the death of rural Texas towns. More than 150 rural counties have absolutely zero private schools where parents can send their children. That’s not choice, that’s an illusion.

What Trump wants to do at Gitmo is an emergency. Andrea went to Gitmo twice, and these narratives are Kundera-like examples of how authoritarianism tends to trip on its rigidity. This episode ties in the history of detention on the base and how Trump is taking advantage of America's failures.

Run for something!

Rep. Jasmine Crockett is the best. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We are doomed 🥺

I was today years old when I learned that Idaho passed a law making DEATH BY FIRING SQUAD their primary method of execution for inmates sentenced to death instead of lethal injection. Read that again.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

All that talk about transparency was bullshit.

Moo?

This is so incredibly insane

Pretty much.

I am beyond livid that my tax dollars are being misused in so many ways. I didn't consent to any of this. #resist #consentmatters

INTEL: In the last 12 hours, I've been talking with congressional staff, including some who work for senators who continue to vote for Trump's nominees. I just wanted to understand the calculus. Here's what they're telling me...

UPDATE: 8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.

JFC.

Valid question.

NEW: A 25-year-old who's worked for Elon Musk companies now has direct control over a Treasury system disbursements from which amount to a fifth of the US economy. He does not, our sources say, have "read only" access, but high-level admin privileges on a mainframe housing all the code.

This!

There is always a connection!

Is Russia still paying him or is he really just like this on his own?

No f'ing shit! I wanted to scream upon opening email this morning!

Almost six years later and this woman is now Meghan McCain’s best friend and the godmother of her child. It’s almost like she knows how to gather crucial information by building trust and creating a believable identity within her target environment.

SHARE HERE, ON FACEBOOK, ON X, AND EVEN ON TRUTH SOCIAL, WHERE PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS ARE. #ElonYoureFired

ALEXANDER: The implication that this policy is new or that it stems from efforts that began under Biden is demonstrably false. TRUMP: Who said that, you? ALEXANDER: It's been on the FAA's website since 2013. Why didn't you change the policy during your first administration

COLLINS: We don't even yet know the names of the people killed and you're blaming Dems and DEI policies. Don't you think you're getting ahead of the investigation? TRUMP: No, I don't think so C: Does it comfort their families to hearing you blaming DEI? R: That's not a very smart question

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

This. 👇

the secret service’s mission involves protecting the president, fighting counterfeiting, and stomping out prepubescent death threats

It’s almost as if we all told them this would happen and they just didn’t fucking care. Or something.

Don't criticize the king

Turns out the President Musk thing was off base because Stephen Miller is really running the country. These are Miller’s ideas and Miller’s executive orders. Trump is just signing them and talking gibberish about what’s in them.
