moving forward I would like to see dems gum up the works every way possible. No unanimous consent, full votes on every tiny piece of business. I don't expect everyone to have the stamina to do a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but many lengthy floor speeches. Just slow everything down to a crawl.

Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰 #VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍 This is super important.

Journalists at mainstream US publications are absolutely allowed to engage in activism as long as it is aimed at reinforcing existing hierarchies and undermining progressive change. NYT news reporters recently engaged in a startlingly effective campaign against trans rights, for example.

Pedro Pascal responding to transphobia on social media: “I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.” (via @charliejane.bsky.social) [capitalfm.com]

Dear media, They aren’t “cutting waste, fraud, and abuse” they are cutting programs and agencies they disagree with ideologically. DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS and stop parroting their talking points.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

We need a judge to rule that a fake agency called DOGE run by a megalomaniac billionaire who bought power from Trump for $288 million does not have a legal right to cut government spending and look at our Social Security information. This is madness.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Genuine question: is there any authorization, anything at all, for a so-called Department of Government Efficiency? an executive order? Anything? Is anyone working for that “department” a government employee? Or is it just a straight up private sector takeover?

Oh. The LA Times is editing out negative parts of an article about RFK Jr. that say he's unfit for Secretary of Health and Human Services. If you haven't canceled your subscription already, you should.
