Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

(1/X) The next four years are likely to be a disaster in many regards: more plane crashes, more outbreaks of measles and other infectious diseases, snafus with tax refunds and Medicaid payments, terrorist attacks, and probably a recession. The media will tell us none of it is Trump's fault...

I wonder if FIFA told the US it had to be a dictatorship with a poor human rights record before it was allowed to host the World Cup.

In the last election, one candidate was proposing coercive restrictions on personal liberty and replacing free trade and free markets with heavy tariffs and authoritarian favoritism. The other was Kamala Harris. Bezos personally killed an endorsement of Harris and celebrated at Trump’s inauguration.

It really is the point. It feels like the oligarch class intentionally wants to tank the country so they can buy it on the cheap. We have-nots will pay the cost in suffering.

Trump II's opening blitzkrieg has wreaked all manner of damage and destruction, but the real power dynamic is in converting the vast array of govt goods and services into political currency that Trump can exchange for favors, leverage, control, and obedience. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

This move really surprises me, especially since I assume the plan is still to move Vargas in the summer window. Our midfield depth is that much shallower now. I will be happy if Leyva gets more playing time as a result.

the “administrative state” in practice is a lot of very hard working, practically anonymous people doing the thankless work of making this country run and a drug-addled dipshit is slandering them in order to steal our money for himself

Those bonehead Republicans managed to convince their base that trans women in sports was a huge issue—without showing a damn shred of data. They never drop facts because that would wreck their narrative. Look at these numbers… Less than 10 trans athletes out of 510,000 NCAA athletes nationwide.

Murphy: "The reality is this could get dystopian very quickly. If you were to start speaking ill of Elon Musk on social media, Musk might be able to stop or delay your tax refund, or your mom's Social Security benefit, in part because we have no window into what's happening at Treasury right now."

More surrender stupidity from @cantwell.senate.gov

submitted 23 days ago • 0 comments

@cantwell.senate.gov seems to be working hard to lose my vote when she's up for re-election in ... (checks notes) ... 2030. We live in the stupidest timeline. A Democratic senator in a true-blue state who's not up for re-election for six years is choosing to bend the knee to Cheeto Jesus. WHY?

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.
