Remember when we used to get excited that Trump violating the emoluments clause or members of his administration's obvious flouting of the Hatch Act would actually mean something?

"The Trump administration has announced that it will kill," works here too.

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

To a hammer everything is a nail, but it’s not like Trump was even a notably successful real estate developer.

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

Pretty sure the IRS just needs enough people to persecute Trump critics.

Friends, Romans, Noncompoops...

The owner of this company is obviously an expert on efficiency.

Vague? But they were written by the finest AI lawyers!

Trump likes to poo-poo Russia Russia Russia, but his heart belongs to Vladdy.

Someone needs to buy up the first ten rows of the orchestra for Capitol Police officers to show up in uniform.

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Senate Democrats have drawn a line in the sand on the budget. Democrats are not going to agree to anything without restrictions on Trump’s power Will it even make a difference? The House must follow suit! www.politicususa.com/p/senate-dem...

Jan. 2025--Donald Trump announced $540 billion in pledged investment in AI infrastructure and called on his government to "enhance America's AI leadership." Feb. 2025--Don Jr. and Eric get into the AI data center business. me, for @forbes.com 1/

Unfortunately firings have continued at the National Nuclear Safety Administration. I’ve been contacted by an NNSA worker who was fired, then told her termination was paused, then told she was fired again. She says there were numerous others at NNSA treated the same way. These people keep us safe.

The Trump administration has a very specific vision for our future.

That feeling every time another criminal is confirmed.

Feel like the baseline for any 2028 candidate is to promise to fire Kash Patel on day one, assuming his tenure lasts that long.

Members of Congress leaking that they are being threatened if they don’t vote for all of Trump’s nominees but they don’t indicate any interest in finding and arresting people threatening members of Congress. Hmmm.

The USPS is the only government agency mandated by the Constitution. Once it is gone there is nothing left to stop the shredding of the Constitution and setting fire to the remains in the fireplace of the Oval. The USPS moves 47% of the world's mail daily. Imagine the world disruption this causes.

Another amazing indepth piece from The Handbasket

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Disgusting.

One more time for the people in the back: Trump does not give a f*ck about working folks!

this man is on fucking drugs, he is on a lot of them, and every member of the white house press corps and every republican member of congress is deliberately overlooking it

Please flush and wash your filthy hands, America. youtu.be/VkYxxe9IpqM?...

Congratulations on electing Cyber Carrot Top, MAGA. America is just prop comedy now. thehill.com/policy/techn...

This is the dude running the country.... INTO THE GROUND.

I'm gonna say Vlad. "It’s not clear where Trump heard the 4% number." gizmodo.com/elon-musk-sa...

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

Well well well.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

NEW: A handful of states just introduced bills to ban "surveillance pricing and wages" That's when companies charge/pay differently based on personal data. Advocates fear the practice is widespread in the gig economy @willoremus.com & me washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is how the king lives long.

The most sunny version of our current situation is we are now allies with Russia. Though I think the more accurate take is they conquered their most powerful adversary a lot cheaper than the blood and treasure spent on Ukraine.

A King makes a lot more money than a President, if you’re wondering where else this is going.
