More governors like this, please. “You must ask yourself: Who and what will he target next, and what will he do. Will it be you? Will it be because of your race or your religion? Will it be because you look different or think differently? Where does it end?” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

If you’re more worried about Bill Gates injecting you with microchips than you are about Elon Musk accessing your government data, well, I have some $Shunncoin I’d really love to sell you.

You know that if Trump takes over Gaza, he'll just stiff all the contractors and it will never be ready for anyone to move in.

Trump is like the Gulf of America — stormy, oily, like as not to kill you if you’re not careful, and the “America” part a thin facade.

This is the Deputy Attorney General doing an outright Stringer Bell "is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?" And to be perfectly clear: this is a crime. It's obstruction of justice, cut and dry, plain as day, no ambiguity about it.

Just left Sen. Schumer a voice mail urging him and his party not just to oppose the Musk/Trump agenda but to ask himself at every turn, “What would Mitch McConnell do?” I told him it’s time to get dirty and nasty.

Finally got through to Rep. Espaillat’s office, where an aide took my message, name, and phone number and assured me that many constituents were calling in with a similar urge to action.

I still can’t get through on the House of Representatives phone line. I hope that means they are flooded with angry calls, not that Musk has unplugged their lines.

In shutting down USAID, President Musk is effectively attempting to commit mass murder against some of the world’s most poverty-stricken populations. We have to stop him.

The Vulture article on Neil Gaiman is truly stomach-turning. I hope many more people start paying attention now, especially at the outfits still pouring money into his pockets.
