If it’s illegal, then they weren’t fired. (To be clear: I do not take issue with the QT at all, I’m grateful that she shared this news. But workers affected by these illegal actions should go to court, stat.)

In writing about Trump in the first term I kept coming back to the idea of trying to talk a drunk driver out of the keys. It's maybe not the best metaphor, although it's not wrong. Anyway he is most definitely not just driving but doing 75 in a 35 now. Feels like there are fewer options now.

The throughline that I keep returning to is: -they collectively decided that Musk’s takeover of Twitter went great. -so they’ve taking that same approach to the entire federal bureaucracy. -instead of server crashes and error messages, medicaid breaks and a plane full of kids crashes.

Elon Musk bought Twitter not to run it as a business but to use it as a global-scale right wing propaganda machine. He (or his investors) could afford to lose a measly $40 billion dollars for this goal. And it paid off.

She leaves office with all the class with which she held office. I won’t say served, because she mostly served herself. No elected Democrats should meet with her when she becomes a lobbyist. Schedule meetings, and let her wait in their lobbies until she figures it out.

Jimmy Carter was a Christian politician who actually sought to model the teachings of Christ even after leaving politics, rather than using Christianity as a political bludgeon against his opponents or as a tool of supremacy in the godforsaken "culture wars."

I don't even know if he really feels that tax cuts have to be "paid for," so much as that he would just like to have your money. There is a pile of it over here, and he would like to have it, and now that he's the government, he can do that.

I'm constantly floored by claims that the Democrats look down on or disdain Trump voters. Nobody disdains Trump voters more than Trump and his policies repeatedly demonstrate this disdain.

Elon Musk and JD Vance publicly supporting the neo-Nazis of Germany's AfD, just as an AfD supporter/Elon Musk fan kills 5 and injures 100+ in a terrorist attack at a Christmas market in Germany. Vance's pro-AfD statement came after the attack. It's bad. Not sure what else to say. Dark times ahead.

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which Musk posted can “save Germany,” is “controversial even among other European far-right parties because many of its leaders are not shy about expressing Nazi sympathies.”

Back in 1930s, one key to labor success was local govts and governors often refusing to send police in to break pickets. That Mayor Adams using cops to break pickets should mean every local labor leader should be calling for his resignation immediately (aside from his criminal corruption)

Another wrinkle in the whole spending fight: -The original the continuing resolution set aside money to help employers move from paying people with disabilities below minimum wage to paying them a competitive wage. -Elon Musk tanked it -The CR that failed tonight stripped out that language.
