Every single person in all three branches of government who swore an oath to country & Constitution knows this. A full-scale failure of the entire Constitutional order. Unprecedented in 🇺🇸 history.

“Contrarian thinkers” will be the death of us. Serious action on the biggest challenges of our time delayed for years because people with huge media platforms were “just asking questions”: “Is that trans person really human?” “Is that right arm really that salute?” “Is that iceberg really melting?”

Elon Musk has received at least $38 BILLION dollars in government loans, subsidies, tax credits and government contracts and it’s a huge reason why he’s the richest man in the world.

It's so tiresome how the same folks who claim to believe in the personal responsibility "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" ideology rally around a guy who had everything handed to him and takes responsibility for NOTHING.

So, if I’m reading this correctly, Congress appropriated a bunch of funds for specific purposes. Musk will be throwing that out the window and disregarding the law they enacted. But individual legislators can call a hotline and beg for their pet projects to be spared. That’s how we’re doing it now.

Musk still out there just wrecking the government instead of being in jail feels like a mass psychosis at this point. Like everyone watching the enormous, city-destroying tsunami on the way and discussing their surfing plans.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used transgenic (genetically modified) mice.

Vitamin A can be used in active measles infections (because the virus can cause a Vitamin A deficiency). It does not prevent infection nor does it treat or shorten the infection in any way. When it’s used it’s not in the form of cod liver oil because that would be stupid. All of this is so stupid.

I keep hearing Republicans claim their budget doesn't cut Medicaid. We all know that's a lie — so I asked the nonpartisan CBO to look into it. Their analysis confirms it: the Republican budget delivers the largest Medicaid cuts in history to pay for giveaways to billionaires.

It’s sad but all I think twice a day minimum is fucking DO something. No one elected you to shake your heads and give disapproving looks. Maybe the weakest democracy is the one that’s had democracy so long they think it’ll survive without any work.

I keep hearing how we have to be nice to Trump voters who finally realized what a disaster he is. And, you know, fuck that. They have to be nice to us. They're the ones who fucked it all up. They have to prove that they deserve to be let back in with the civilized people.

Trump is putting one of his personal lawyers—see below—atop the JAG corps, the lawyers who’ll be consulted when he finally decides to impose martial law. Coupled with his putting his attorneys atop the DOJ and FBI, this is another sign that when the move to end democracy comes, no one will stop it.

Several others have aptly summarized this. Republicans now get a number where they can call Elon and ask for the law to be followed for things that were cut but which they want back. So Elon is in charge of federal spending. And you can go to him hat in hand.

The idea the president alone can levy taxes on a whim and spend it as he pleases without any congressional approval is the kind of thing so beyond the pale it's not unconstitutional, it's anti-constitutional. It is overturning in starkest terms the central rallying cry of the American Revolution.
