Boy Elon Musk sure will be angry when he learns about this

A novel tactic from a novel source: @raskin.house.gov is organizing folks to send Privacy Act requests to DOGE w/a pre-filled form. "DOGE...has an obligation to respond to specific demands from any of the 340 million U.S. citizens who exercise their legal right" jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy...

Men will host a politically tone-deaf podcast because they refuse to go to therapy.

How are you going to ensure that veterans won't be affected when you are giving up your only leverage over an administration that is a) making massive cuts to VA, and b) decimating a federal workforce that is 30% veterans? time.com/7266955/trum...

NEW Trump administration is shuttering a half-dozen regional HHS legal offices They play a key role in monitoring/enforcing standards for nursing homes, Head Start & much more Going down from 10 offices ... to 4 From @paulblumenthal.bsky.social & me www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

This is the most unhinged government email I have seen since January 20 — and, likely, ever (and I reviewed all of the Clinton White House's DOMA records).

Never been more instantly vindicated in my life

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

I love how Gavin Newsom, a man I've long suspected to be an opportunistic sleaze, has finally revealed himself to the folks whose political bullshit detectors may not be as finely tuned. He's making it easy for everyone!

The brain worm continues to turn

This actually sounds like really good progress in Navy readiness. Unfortunately the person responsible for it was a competent woman and not an incompetent man, she was a poor match for the new administration. www.usni.org/magazines/pr...

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

I am so fucking tired. I grew up in a secular household in a small town and had friends who were not supposed to walk to school with me because we were not Christian. I got regularly beat up for being dykey. Even setting aside the issue of who is wielding *state power* the idea that Christians

US Christians today might be the least persecuted group in any place at any time in world history

ugh fuck this www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/a...

He called Sen Mark Kelly a traitor He called a guy rescuing kids a pedophile b/c it interfered with hawking his own BS company He disowned his trans daughter He supports neo-Nazis and other extremists. What a great guy!

It just seems untenable to put our biggest rubes in the highest levels of our government, but no one is stopping it.

Supreme Court rules 6-3 that Teslas are priced to move with $0 down and no payments for 48 months

There are two transgender girls in the state of Maine competing in girls’ sports. There are now SIX federal agencies investigating the state. Here is our latest @propublica.org story with @bangordailynews.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/main...

The funniest thing about it is that if Musk had hoped to temper the "buying/owning a Tesla is an endorsement of the Trump administration" sentiment, this will only do the exact opposite.

I will never forgive these fuckers for making me cheer on BigLaw

Conservative “new masculinity” is just crybullyism, talk big shit then whine when people push back in kind bsky.app/profile/atru...

Those of us who were invited by the gov as experts to be consulted on the blocker ban literally said all this was happening. Our input was dismissed as 'anecdotal evidence'.

i imagine elon musk couldn’t stop crying that people are being mean to him and trump had to do this to get him to stop. elon migbt be the all time most pathetic man in history

This chart seems to suggest that something is going wrong in the United States, specifically. (www.ft.com/content/7568... )

"Tone down the rhetoric but also Canadians are massacring Americans."

The big players in the House get results from begging Elon

This is what this was always about, only for the moment it’s Elon instead of Trump. Austerity for everyone, except friends and toadies. Heard news earlier of wave of regional offices of big dept, but almost all in blue states. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If they are “confused” then it’s time to rethink the intellectual soundness of the nation’s top business leaders. I don’t think they’re confused.

"🚗⚡ Come on down to the White House Auto Showroom for unbeatable Tesla deals! We’re ignoring appropriations laws to bring you a nostalgia package out of 1980s Johannesburg. These models are so exclusive they come with built-in voter suppression. Sit back and let the elite stay in the driver’s seat!"

Some have rightly pointed out that the Executive Order to combat antisemitism is numbered 14188. These nazis are so uncreative.

1. Finally some fight. "Have you no decency!?" asked Rep. Keating after a Republican rep called Sarah McBride "Mr. McBride" repeatedly. McBride shot back, calling the chairman "Madam Chairman." Fireworks erupted, Dems protested, and the hearing was cancelled. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Good to see some fire from Keating

It's a quid pro quo Presidency. Musk gave $300 million to make Trump the president, so Trump is trying to help Tesla with its lagging sales. Shameful and corrupt but so pure.

You wet bitch

So somebody else with a similar name to mine apparently owed a debt in 2015 for about $500. I started getting communications about a year ago from a debt collection agency (it’s real, and really from them, I’m confident) demanding I pay it. If you look at the small print, it points out two things.

Sent to USAID essential personnel this morning

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION: My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then, "Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

I recall people predicting at some point in the future every woman would have nudes posted to the Internet if it was not criminalized. Now it seems like every shitty man has a record of revenge porn and yet the women are still the ones stigmatized. *jazz hands* misogyny!

Cruz and Fetterman conspired with a revenge-porn horror show to decide which peaceful activists to kidnap and disappear. This guy: nypost.com/2019/02/25/t...

The Pope has returned from the brink of death to complete his mission of calling JD Vance an apostate loser boy
