Elon Musk fancies himself some kind of maverick technologist superhero. But he’s no Tony Stark. He’s PHONY Stark. He’s the one the Avengers defeat at the end of the movie.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

Call me old fashioned, but being Russia’s KGB agent “Krasnov” since 1987 should disqualify Trump from being President of the United States. Retroactively, immediately, and forever.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Farmers overwhelmingly backed Trump—now they’re feeling the pain and speaking up. Here’s the thing: If you got grants and contracts under Biden, why vote for Trump—who did nothing for you? It’s easier to be angry than well-informed. Harris voters chose their self-interest.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

I don’t judge Mitch McConnell for his choice of political party. I judge him for his greed, racism, and hunger for power. I judge him for causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump. So will others. So will history.

Fuck him. He is selling us out and breaking America from the inside. All for the benefit of our biggest adversary Russia. I wonder how much of the data DOGE is stealing is going there.

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.

I really don't understand why pundits don't understand this. MANY of you have better platforms than any Democrat this side of AOC. If you spend all your time whining (some more) about Democrats, then you are being just as feckless, you are giving the GOP just as much of a pass, as the Dems are.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Acosta: It’s hard to see somebody out-Spicer Sean Spicer or out-Huckabee Sarah Huckabee Sanders, but Karoline Leavitt—she’s making a run for it. Unless they’ve already done it on SNL, I have to think something like that is in the works, because the skit writes itself.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”
