The Washington Post wouldn’t need to write headlines like this if it hadn’t normalized Trump for the last decade.

I can't decide what is worse. The strongman or the people who go along with the strongman no matter how stupid he is.

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

Can we PLEASE let this vote put an end to the entirely predictable but rampant, “Isn’t it fascinating that Mitch McConnell is voting against some of Trump’s nominees? Maybe he’s starting to redeem himself!” narratives? Thanks. bsky.app/profile/frit...

Let me get this straight. Garland only defends rule of law, when he's defending a lawless traitor, but now in the face of an authoritarian using the DOJ to silence opponents and erode the rule of law just stays silent? What a weak piece of shit that little nutsack is.

Delaware is worried that corporate exits would remove a major source of income from the state. So it's poised to pass a bill written by Elon Musk's lawyers that would weaken shareholder rights and likely give Musk a $55 billion payday. From @ryanlcooper.com: prospect.org/justice/2025...

“Maga is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy and most importantly, Maga is explicitly a Nazi movement,” Kluwe, who was part of the Minnesota Vikings for most of his career, said. “You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that’s what it is.” www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

Trump's pick for FBI director is a MAGA conspiracy theorist who has vowed to go after political opponents, journalists, and nonprofit organizations. I just contacted my senators and urged them to oppose Kash Patel’s nomination. app.sosha.ai/s/g2UHuPqB

This is the intersection point between Muskian arrogance and idiot populism: The conviction that there’s an extremely simple solution for everything that, somehow, nobody else has ever noticed & that you via either genius or “common sense” have uniquely hit upon.

Trump wants Congress to pass the House GOP's version of a budget reconciliation bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for tax cuts for the rich. The House is on recess, so now would be a great time to call your rep and share your thoughts. (202) 224-3121

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

“Absolutely heartbroken… I am a father, loving husband, and dedicated civil servant.” While Kevin O’Leary says “cut cut cut cut more” — as if 🇺🇸 is a business (it isn’t) — these are the people whose lives are being ruined by Musk/Trump to pave the runway for greedy tax cuts.

Trump just rewarded J6 fan Ed Martin with a full-term nomination to be U.S. Attorney for D.C. Martin wrote an alarming letter to Musk in which he promised to “investigate” and “chase . . . to the end of the Earth” any DOGE opponent who “acted simply unethically.” That’s not a prosecutor’s job!

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.
