"Most Trump voters didn't want the decimation of social services they depend on, economic chaos or the rising threat of all-out war in Europe."

"If you haven’t kept up, the basic story is this: Trump has stolen something else that doesn’t belong to him, something he doesn’t deserve, something he isn’t good enough to have, and he will now destroy it so nobody else can have it either."

"This is how politicians tell you they hate America and think little of its people. 'Work requirements' really means 'paperwork requirements' — creating bureaucratic hurdles so onerous that a significant number of people can’t manage it and get pushed off the rolls."

"Thiel exempts himself from following his own prescriptions, as he's married to a man." Of course he does. Laws are for keeping the little people in line, not for the privileged.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

"Unfortunately, this bet has paid off, as the MAGA base would rather let robber barons drain their entire bank accounts rather than accept that a woman might know what she's talking about."

"Despite claiming to believe gender is 'immutable,' conservatives are eager to strip gender identity away from even cis women who don't fit their narrow view of what 'women' should be."

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

“'Arguably, this is the worst and most dangerous thing President Trump has done—putting a false teacher at the helm of faith outreach. Lord, have mercy on our country and this administration,' Ross added." Oh, I think there's some competition there, Ross. But the whole thing is pretty distasteful.

"It is now clear beyond any question that Elon Musk is de facto president of the United States—indeed, not just that, but a ruler who is exercising more power than any president in American history." Hmmm. Wonder if there's a word for that?

It may seem like a small thing overall, but it illustrates the weird combination of evil and incompetence that we're dealing with here.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

Folks, I see a lot of you recently feeling free to use some variation of the "R" word for mentally disabled, including appending the last four letters as suffix to describe people you don't like. I'm not down with that, so if you do it in my comments, I'm gonna hide that shit at least. Be better.

The silence of most Republican members of Congress on the Trump tariffs tells you two things: 1. They know it is a terrible idea. 2. They are so afraid of Trump that they won’t say anything even though they know how much it is going to hurt their constituents and the country.
