Imagine if you told someone a few years ago that the richest man in the world would go full Nazi and then immediately be given access to the entire federal government to do with as he pleases. Jon Stewart would have definitely mocked your hysteria.

One more time for the people in the back: Trump does not give a f*ck about working folks!

Elon Musk is a dick. Pass it on…

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: They’re coming for our history. The US archivist & staff resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them w/loyalists. Not just records you’d expect—slave records, immigration records, Native American treaties—all at risk. Will they rewrite or destroy history?

There’s gonna be so many variations on this theme over the next three years and eleven months. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Spread the word peeps!

I’m asking you to check back in. A few minutes each day. Each one of us needs to be a witness.

Trump wants us dead

the stories coming out of these purges are unreal - the dems should be running these on tv and billboards 24/7, anything less is a total failure

I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me. — Assistant U.S. Attorney Hagan Scotten, in his resignation letter to Emil Bove, acting Deputy AG, refusing to drop the case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams

Where law ends, tyranny begins.

Any press outside of like Breitbart or whatever just never going to WH press briefings again seems like a no-brainer with the AP thing. You’re not missing much and this admin will leak like a sieve anyway, just do journalism instead of Daily Liar’s Theater stenography.

"coffee is only good when it is served in jim crow conditions"

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

Proud to be one of the 350 rabbis signing this statement — an ad in the NYT today and a declaration of our values. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... For more—and to sign— go to saynotoethniccleansing.org

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

This is an absolute scandal. Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad, delaying waivers to provide for their safe return to the United States. As these civil servants lost their possessions, housing, and money, Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations.

Democrats need to listen to @owillis.bsky.social www.oliverexplains.com/p/how-should...

Republicans. Pulling the ladder up behind them since 1876

I sure hope *somebody* has a plan to address what happens when Trump drops all pretense of abiding by court orders, because at that point I have no fucking idea, and all the options look terrible.

New: I think Schumer and Jeffries probably DO mean to condition Dem votes for budget legislation on a return to the rule of law. But strategic ambiguity and paeans to bipartisanship highlight just how unfit a party guided by lawyers, pollsters, and strategists is to handle an existential crisis.

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

We’ve become used to right wingers throwing tantrums every time black people are on tv in something everyone is watching (the olympics, superbowl, ect) but it’s actually fucking weird and we shouldn’t act like that’s a normal reaction

“This state of affairs, twisted beyond parody or humour, is the apotheosis of a right-wing realignment of the C-suite.“ www.liberalcurrents.com/the-new-stat...

JUST GO AWAY MOTHERFUCKER

I’ve gotten death threats from extremists for writing about extremists. Especially for mocking them. Maybe you shouldn’t take an oath to support and defend the constitution if you’re going to stop as soon an incel from Fort Wayne sends a misspelled email.
