These are the dirty tricks that the people who think they have a "mandate" are trying to pull. If they're not stopped they'll have a lot more time to do more.

I know it's about as bad as it gets right now, but it kinda makes me laugh to know the president was outwitted by a Mexican.Jewish.Woman.

I think we're going to look at February 1st, 2025 as the day the dictatorship has begun. Now the question is, Who is the dictator?

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

All Five Eyes partners need to presume that ALL US government IT systems are now insecure. Similarly the EU need to treat any data interchange agreements with the US as null and void. This includes cloud hosting on Azure, AWS and Google (not that anyone uses Google Cloud ;)

Guess they neglected to read the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. But Tennessee is getting what it voted for. Expect more of this from states who voted for a majority of stupid people.

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.

Elon Musk's net worth is $454 billion. He could lose $453 billion and still be a billionaire. Meanwhile, people in America live in poverty, go without food, medicine, healthcare, heat, electricity and so on. Something is seriously fucked up about that.

Not arguing his career numbers, but happy to see Dave Parker elected to the Baseball HOF. He was appointment viewing, one of those players that made you wait until his at bat was over before you moved on with your life. Strongest outfield arm I've ever seen except for maybe Bo Jackson

According to the CBO, extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich would shrink the economy over the long run. Extending the cuts would also increase the deficit by $4.6 trillion and be used by Republicans as an excuse to gut programs millions rely on. It's reverse Robin Hood.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who has paid into Social Security their entire adult life and is determined to make sure Republicans keep their filthy fucking hands off of our benefits. Same goes for our Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. HANDS. OFF.
