Everyone is shitting on some blogger I've never heard of, and I was happy to just ignore it because who cares, but this is genuinely entertaining. "Gengis Khan couldn't spell his own name" is my new typo defense.

When they say "I don't believe it" or "I'd have to see it in context" they are saying they don't have the courage to stand up for their constituents.

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Tori Bedford at GBH News reports it's because the Musk administration fired five key workers today.

When you dump an entire agency into a "wood chipper" — as Musk boastfully did two weeks ago (see his tweet at x.com/elonmusk/sta...) — this is the kind of tragedy that can result. Many more tragedies will come to light. This is the core and legacy of the Trump-Musk administration: pure destruction.

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

Jamelle Bouie is correct here, in my view. Using the phrase “Gulf of America” instead of “Gulf of Mexico” – the name first applied to that body of water in 1550 – has nothing to do with national pride or ideology and only to do with obedience to Tr•mp. #Obedience #Führerprinzip

If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

Oh that’s easy - the Republican base is so mad that they were told to make a sacrifice during COVID to save lives that they’re fully dedicated to removing anyone’s ability to tell them that again and they don’t care what goes with it. It’s a party of spoiled children who don’t want to listen to mom.

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer? She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

It is really wild how desperately the modern GOP leadership wants the USA to be a ethnically-homogeneous, corrupt mitteleuropean country hemorrhaging population growth to the EU and spending most of its time threatening to declare war on its neighbors over regional nomenclature disputes.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
