“So bow down to her if you want! Bow to her! Bow to the queen of slime! The queen of filth! The queen of putrescence! Boooo! Boooooo!”

bathroom bills were considered a hugely bigoted overreach a decade ago and the backsliding on trans rights is the result of a sustained propaganda campaign by elites the pendulum can swing back the other way if you try, and anyone who is not willing to do so is showcasing their own bigotry

No one wants a paper trail because spending funds Congress has not appropriated is colloquially known as “stealing from the US Treasury.”

Oh, I didn’t know all he needed to do was call for an end to it.

PSA: if you're ever in a situation like this where someone gives you dubious instructions over the phone, the first thing you do is send them an email "per our talk..." summarizing what they told you "just to make sure I understood". Make your own paper trail!

This was the end goal of crypto aligning behind Trump - the crypto economy has very few actual dollars in it and relies on finding new people to hold the bag to get their dollars. The US government is the ultimate bag holder and they’re going to use your tax dollars to bail out crypto owners.

all americans know is

How did our country (the U.S.) create and elevate such a group of cowardly, greedy, vain, arrogant, and profoundly insecure men to the highest rungs of power? They bring Zelensky to the Oval Office for what? To mock and denigrate a truly courageous leader & try to bring him down to their base level?

vance is such a toad. imagine watching casablanca and the whole place stands up for la marseillaise and everyone has tears in the eyes and you're the guy rooting for the nazis.

Right now you are paying about $4 per year in taxes for your weather forecast. How much do you think you will pay when your subscription-only weather app, your home insurance, and your utility companies will *each* pass down the cost of private forecasts to you?

“The only minority destroying America is the billionaires” Listen to this message from @jamestalarico.bsky.social !!

How it started/How it's going

“The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the first quarter of 2025 is -1.5 percent on February 28, down from 2.3 percent on February 19.” www.atlantafed.org/cqer/researc...

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell

Now that’s an opening argument for foreign aid: This is Literally How You Get Ebola

The point of the "Let the Democrats leave and vote again when they're not looking" plan was to prevent swing-distinct Republicans from having to take an awful vote that'd hurt them bad next year. Democrats successfully foiled that plan and those Rs all had to vote to cut Medicaid.

again I point to 'liz truss but without the ability to remove liz truss' as the key to understanding what will likely happen in the next few months to the US economy.

the brain worm emerges halfway from his mouth, having chewed its way out, and begins to grow rapidly, sprouting tendrils and appendages until it resembles a writhing, glistening centipede the height and width of a school bus and the length of a football field. it still speaks with his voice

Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

this is the good shit!

I can easily believe one-fifth of Germans are fascist, skill issue

When I don't reply to a text right away, it's because I am thoughtfully composing a reply in my own good time. When you don't reply to a text right away, it's because you are a disrespectful, ungrateful person trying to convey how much you hate me, and/or are dead.

The guy who essentially just won the next chancellorship, Friedrich Merz, has been doing a press tour for the past week or so talking about how America under Trump can’t be trusted and promising to investigate Musk for meddling in the German election.

This would pay the salary of every fired NPS employee for probably 10 years.

"i will NOT eat the bugs!!!" buddy they fired all the food inspectors. your ass is eating the bugs

i feel like "we don't have a king" was basically the united states' only good idea until the invention of the corn dog

I mean this without a shred of irony: The basic principles of democracy demand that Republicans who have bowed to these threats resign immediately. Their seats should be considered empty until new elections can be held

This is good. He’s maybe the first Canadian political figure to openly talk about what’s going on in the states. The gulf isn’t simply national, it’s deeply ideological. They quite literally hate our freedoms.

people who say “why do we need [fine arts, humanities degrees, mid-budget films] when they don’t make a ton of money?” are insufferable. why do we need chrysanthemums? why do we need bonfires or baleen whales or the color blue? we just do. we just do.

i am tired of looking cute, and of looking handsome and beautiful. from now on i am a gargoyle. a horror

Hope has been eliminated. We now know for sure that Palestinian terrorists kidnapped and murdered Jewish toddlers and babies. Hamas and the monsters who kidnapped them bear full responsibility for their deaths. השם יקום דמם

all of these people have or had public profiles. all of them have families and friends and businesses that can be connected to them. we cannot remove them from doge, but we can collectively ruin them.

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

someone put their pronouns in their email signature in 2017 and now the world's most irksome Boer has my social security number

scams targeting seniors are an important GOP constituency

again, this is the easiest political slam dunk in the world find a veteran with a lifetime of public service who has been fired for no reason and bring him on television with you do it again tomorrow with a different veteran, and again, and again show the human cost

What time is it?

This raggedy bitch got a ‘c.’ by his birth year like he was Tutankhamun

This is a great story about exactly why you don't want to end no fault divorce and financial independence for women

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

A historic graphic of corruption. The 11 federal agencies so far targeted for firings or dismantling by Elon Musk have more than 30 ongoing investigations into his companies. (📸 Malika Khurana for NYT)
