UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

Maybe the real national security threat is just basic competence?

She’s right. Where are all of them? There aren’t any. He’s a despicable human being in every way imaginable. He doesn’t care about others’ well-being, health, or safety as long as he can make money, he’s a glutton, greedy. He’s perfectly content with causing harm to others, it’s disgusting. 🤢

“You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old? Are you for real right now?” That teen is "Big Balls" Corisitine, the recording is from 2022, and the voice is from a CEO worried about him as a security risk. Now Musk has him snooping in your personal data www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

The Acting President discusses affairs of state, while the young boy and the old man share their boredom.

Shut your fucking mouth Donnie Fucking Dollhands you're not President!!

Trump and Vance are courting Europe’s far right to spread their political gospel

This is absolutely insane. — www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

GOP electeds are starting to feel the heat at town halls Now they'll double down on voter suppression Say HELL NO to that If you are repped by a Dem who voted for this bill, give 'em hell If you're @demsabroad.bsky.social know that the Save act disenfranchises you resist.bot/petitions/PO...

OPINION:

Delusional old man. His approval rating is tanking.

this is from a new report on a “third way” on DEI and it is unbelievably naive, which in my view is emblematic of the author, rich kahlenberg, whose willingness to extend good faith to obvious bad faith actors borders on gullibility www.progressivepolicy.org/a-way-out-of...

He nails it.

BREAKING - The Dow just had its worst drop since March 2020 — at the beginning of Covid Back then it was a pandemic mismanaged by Trump Now it’s tariffs and inflation mismanaged by Trump Watch out — Trump is giving America economic Covid

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

So incredibly cowardly. Also, just last week I praised them for the strong statement in support of the rule of law. I guess it was all PR. This is BS.

Lots of people sharing a purported quote from Yarden Bibas - apparently based on comments from the IDF spox - that is at odds with this statement. Stop exploiting his family’s murder to reinforce your political positions.

Emphatic yes to this:

Good news coming out of Florida: The Villages had a standing-room-only crowd at their Board of Supervisors meeting, demanding that a meeting featuring J6 felons be stopped. There must be 50 ways to resist today. Pick one and do it.

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

Is May 9th the day trump will hand the US to putin?

My latest post has two parts - first an analysis of the aftermath of the Munich Security Conference and the European attempt to respond to Trump’s push for negotiations, and second a consideration of the impact of Trump’s recent attacks on Zelensky (£/free trial), open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/e...?

It’s imperative at this point that Europe develop a defense posture independent of the United States, which should be treated as the ally of Russia that it has now become.
