Make no mistake, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are destroying the credibility of the Department of Justice by sending its lawyers into court to make absurd legal arguments and repeated factual misrepresentations. This will not end well.

Historically and contemporarily if we look at how coups were stoped the reality is We cannot go on as normal now that the whitehouse is defying the courts. We must drop all of our normal and get into the streets.

Dear MAGAts, This is who you voted for. If somehow you believe this isn’t what you voted for, tell him and tell your Rep/Sens to stop him, or don’t pretend you’re not a piece of shit every day when you show your face in public.

Lol. About a year ago, Meta invited me to a "briefing" with like 4 other reporters (only such briefing they've ever invited me to) with the company's chief privacy officer, explaining how his team was infusing the entire company with privacy first thinking. Apparently that's over.

There's so much going on, but important not to lose sight of the possibility that the NC Supreme Court could overturn an election in an act of partisan lawlessness almost as brazen as what Trump attempted www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/o...

As others have said, the greatest transfer of wealth in US history will not be from the Boomers to their children but from them to the US healthcare system. The US is designed to make people insolvent and to keep them poor once they're there.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

Oh, hey, why is the former leader of a white nationalist group so intent on protecting the identities of the DOGE guys (who are, by the way, public figures)?

"Does anybody need another billion dollar rocket?" Lou Reed's New York, made out of love and rage in response to Reaganism, sounds eerily present when listened to again in 2025. It's worse now. But the worse it gets, the stronger the art becomes.

Musk, Trump & Our Money Trump ousted a top Treasury official for blocking Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team access to the system that pays Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds, and federal contracts. They’re not just coming for government waste—they’re coming for our money.

Washington is full of rule-following valedictorians who were inspired by the West Wing and did Model UN and moot court and studied their heroes and who believe in using government to help people. That's nice, but you need to learn how to swing on the illiterate bullies who steal lunch money.
