Brilliant front page

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

Daffodils, Edward H. Mitchell, c.1910.

This is happening, right now. The great "arribada" (arrival) of mother Olive Ridley sea turtles on the Odisha coast, where they dig sand-nests & lay their eggs, driven by ancient instinct. Heart-lifting, magnificent, moving: part of a geography of hope. 🎞️ by Bivash Pandav via my friend Yuvan Aves.

It’s painful to witness the Repubs in lock-step as the coup of the venal and unqualified unfolds.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

Is it too much to ask to want the government to stop the president from doing the illegal stuff?

We now have a government staffed completely by a 4 Chan message board.

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

🇩🇰🇺🇦 Zelenskyy: I had a good conversation with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. As always, we discuss European affairs together, with all partners, through respectful dialogue and full mutual understanding. I Thanked Denmark for supplying weapons and for expanding joint defense production.

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

How long before Trump offers to sell the Statue of Liberty back to France? I mean, it’s not like we need her anymore…

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

This is like some skit out of Monty Python. Plaintiff: "We're suing Elon Musk for exceeding his authority." White House: "No, he's not. He doesn't even work there!"

News outlets across the political spectrum have united behind the Associated Press, signing a WHCA-backed letter urging the White House to reverse its ban on the wire service, a copy of which Status has obtained. Details in Status: www.status.news/p/associated...

New in PN: Unelected billionaire breaks laws to "restore" democracy "In reality, most of what Musk is up to is flatly illegal. Most egregiously, his deletion of entire depts & Trump’s refusal to spend as directed by Congress violates the Constitution. That’s why multiple courts have enjoined them."

On top of everything else it's just hard to get over how dumb all this is www.wired.com/story/doge-i...
