If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

The premise of all the concern over pediatric transgender medicine is that it's being given too quickly to too many children, and I continue to find it odd that every scrap of evidence I can find suggests that this isn't happening and never was.

If he cannot carry out his agenda without breaking our laws, violating our Constitution, ignoring the judiciary, alienating our allies and crashing the economy… It’s a criminal agenda.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

🚨🚨This is the dumbest fucking timeline🚨🚨 The Trump Administration is moving all public communications from the Social Security Administration to Twitter. Millions of Americans will be forced to use a private citizen’s social media platform to gain access to info. I did nazi that coming

One thing that's really going to annoy me in like 6 months will be the flood of "Trump cut all these programs and the government seems to still be working fine!" op-eds that Very Smart Pundits will write, completely omitting how many people were hurt by the cuts.

They lied to you knowing a reporter had the full text chain. They lied even though they knew you'd find out. They even lied to Congress. That's because their only plan is lying.

Trump Is Following The Hitler Playbook In February 1933, Adolf Hitler was in a bind. He had just been appointed Chancellor of Germany, but he wasn’t a full-blown dictator yet. He needed an excuse to shut down democracy for good. #DictatorTrump open.substack.com/pub/ladylibe...

I just put $200 into a reverse ETF to short Tesla without risk of losing more than that, as explained here. Because it felt good. And to tell Musk and Lutnick to sod off. hachyderm.io/@inthehands/...

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail. I choose the latter: www.justice.gov/file/494411/...

Shady AF! Republicans could’ve stopped Trump’s disastrous trade policy & save the economy, but they protected him instead. Trump declared a “economic emergency” to push reckless tariffs. Dems tried to force a vote to end it, so the GOP pulled a stunt to block it: declaring Congress one long day.

Total cumulative Free Cash flow since Tesla went public is $12 billion and total net income is $34 bln. Both of those will become negative because car making is an awful business and Tesla is poorly run Musk has cashed out at least $60 billion already and has another $200+ in equity. Fake wealth

🚨NEW RESULTS (w/ Slattery & @wnober.bsky.social) When gov't engineers retire, projects take longer & costs (& cost overruns) go up. It’s harder to manage projects well w/ reduced staffing. Important to remember as DOGE cuts: reduced staffing can actually hurt efficiency. Paper: tinyurl.com/yvy2jt93
