Yes, NPR, this is the hard hitting journalistic question I want answered about a *firing squad* execution in the year 2025

It got understandably buried w/ Zelensky news, but thought our story ysd was pretty big - Trump DHS pushing for the IRS to produce taxpayer info to assist w/ deportations IRS officials pointing to law saying taxpayer data can only be used for tax purposes www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

All the clown wants to do is make reality TV

Sometimes I wonder if Elon Musk took some rich-person dare to see how outwardly villainous he could become before he is stopped. Just billionaires playing around

I see we’re extorting Ukraine. Cool cool cool.

This is a helpful reminder about who the majority really is, but can’t help but feel shocked that nearly 40% of Americans are okay with ending birthright citizenship.

A president rapidly sundowning into full-blown dementia ambiguously handed power over the entire government to a delusional billionaire drug addict in a made-up illegal quasi-office and the Cabinet is split over whether their departments have to listen to his mad orders. It's day 34.

Weird. It’s almost like he’s been undoing all the regulations and our president is a convicted felon.

Are all the girlies working on edits at Denny’s on a Friday night or nah?

Whomst among us is still ghost riding a whip

“February, you old head-turner, cut us some slack, grind of bone/on bone, such melancholy music./Lift up that far corner of landscape/there toward the west./ Let some of the deep light in, the arterial kind.” From Charles Wright’s “Stray Paragraphs in February, Year of the Rat”

The grift that keeps giving

Looking at you, “we the people” bumper-sticker trucks

In case you need Mary Oliver to push you through…all of this

We are in a dangerous time but here are two important facts: 1. Trump's base of support is a minority. 2. That base is going to shrink as his agenda is enacted. The opposition is the majority. No moping allowed. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

We are in a constitutional crisis right here and now www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...

It’s almost as if the president of the United States is a convicted felon

I just can’t believe how fast and blatant all of this has been. I hope we know how to stop it. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

NOT NOW, MELVILLE. READ THE ROOM.

NEW: Marko Elez, Musk operative at Treasury, not only isn't limited to read only access (has admin privileges) but has already made extensive code changes to the Treasury Dept payment system. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/musk-...

“Women”

Just more “small government” from your elected Republicans

My favorite pastime is hearing people not from here complain about people moving here

DOGE is not a real department. In order to be a real department, DOGE would have to be approved by Congress. Pass it on.

New essay out in @gardenandgun.com, on newsstands and online now: gardenandgun.com/feature/reme...

I’m reading Chris Whitaker‘s novel All the Colors of the Dark, and I’d like to start a petition for it to be the basis of the next True Detective season

The Trump’s campaign promise was to finish the job they started on Jan 6 and this is what it looks like.

A former top Treasury Dept. Official says the payment records are so sensitive they are always off limits for political officials to protect Americans’ privacy. The breech is enormous.

Things are feeling really dire and dark and I wanted to know what the slice of America that consumes Fox News alone is seeing and hearing and this—I wish this were a joke—is their top story right now:

Spiegel reports that Musk now also has access to sensitive data of competitors with regard to their financial dealings with the government.

“For the typical American household, the tariffs will mean a loss of about $1,200 in purchasing power, according to the Budget Lab at Yale University, a nonpartisan research center.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
