The point was to destabilize and crash the economy. It’s not a bug. It’s a feature.

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

His speech writers are so bad. Clichés and hackery

This speech is just murdering irony over and over again

Happy for the individuals but the whole, "you get a Secret Service badge," "you get to go to West Point" vibe is cringe. He's supposed to be a president, not a carnival barker.

the tragedy of social media, in two acts

All those ppl who couldn’t GaF about policy but voted for tfg are about to find out they care about policy quite a bit.

The current administration is: a) run by the dumbest people in their job roles in US history (kakistocracy) b) depraved politician$ out for them$elve$ at any co$t c) russian assets d) raiding kleptocrats e) crazed christian nationalists f) nazis doing nazi sh*t g) a clusterf$%& of all of the above

The GOP could stop this madness at any moment by impeaching and removing Trump, but they won't because they approve of everything that he's doing.

If you want to know what programs and agencies are most effective at combatting Russia and the GOP, just keep track of everything tfg and company are attacking right now.

Pay attention to @team18f.bsky.social. They are going to have important things to say. 18f.org

I don't know who made this, but I could watch it all day.

Don’t know if he did, but I can tell you that the answer to the questions “was it possible for him to” and “did he” is the same.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Seems like a pretty important detail

A fact is objective information. An opinion is a personal belief. Ignorance is a lack of facts. And stupidity is a rejection of facts in favor of opinions.

The Onion‘s job is nearly impossible.

ME: So I hear you signed a book deal with Random House? YOU: Yes, but not with the publishing company... just some random house RS

Q: how to 6x DOGE savings ($2.5b)? A: Cut subsidies to Tesla ($15b)

It was never about limited government, it was about one party government. Very CCP of them.

Illinois respects the sovereignty and borders of Ukraine — now and always.
 Three years ago, Russia invaded Ukraine without warning or provocation. Peace and freedom requires resistance to tyranny and oppression. 
 Slava Ukraini!

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

YOU: Still working on your memoirs? ME: Yea, story of my life... RS

This is how it’s done.

History will judge the Republican Party harshly. None of Trump’s bullshit would work without them pretending it’s all true.

Disheartening to think about how little it would actually take from just a few people to stop this madness.

America is the only democracy with free speech protections so extreme they protect the right to lie for profit so long as your “product” is politics.

What the Ds need most of all are people who are willing to be assholes. Our bench may not be deep on A types, but they do exist. What doesn’t exist is an entity capable of centralizing them around one strategy. That’s what I want to build. hitemwhereithurts.com

For those of us capable of seeing reality it’s like everyone else has been replaced by a pod person from invasion of the body snatchers.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

cool as hell

Hello #democrats , this is what oppositional #leadership looks like

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

They aren't eliminating waste and fraud. They're eliminating oversight and accountability.

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

Today we remember Alexei Navalnay, leader of the Russian opposition, who was found dead in his prison cell in Siberia one year ago today. I stand in solidarity with his widow Yulia Navalnay, the first lady of Russian opposition.
