I’m not kidding; this is DOGE at work; multiple US citizens getting notices that they just leave the country because USCIS is revoking their humanitarian parole. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Well, I'd be fired right away.

Citizens are at risk, too. Fight for all, or join the queue out

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

First JPMorgan, now MetLife keeps its 60% recession call — titling today’s note “Damaged Goods”: “Even if there is a near-term resolution of the tariff and other trade issues, damage has been done to the economy and to consumer expectations.”

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

This is one of my favorites!

One thing I'm trying to get more understanding of is the people who were fired who review drug applications. Those people are funded with fees. So there's literally no cost to taxpayers. So the rationale for axing them speaks for itself. But are/will there be enough people to review new drugs?

Time for the annual Swapping of the Tech Bros.

Had enough of the bullshit, yet? Is this what you want your country to do and be?

He, like Bush 2, compliments, then fires.

This is not an Episode of Madam Secretary...but then Henry had security clearance

The Administration’s response left Goldberg no choice. Here we go. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

He drinks a whiskey drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sends a text that remind him of the war plans He sends a text that reminds him of the war crimes #Hegseth

Harriet Hageman got booed to oblivion last night in her own town hall for pumping up Doge so hard that even her loyal suckers woke up and smelled the bullshit—about five months too late!

Great work by @donmoyn.bsky.social documenting how the Trump administration is quite literally expunging various viewpoints and histories in real time: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whitewashi...

Some bullshit right here, Dumpy. Serious bullshit.

Oh, we're here now? www.thedailybeast.com/musk-boosts-...

What movie am I watching? Opening credits: A Moose once bit my sister!

@schumer.senate.gov saw this and said “oh no, we must save our poor colleagues across the aisle”

It is genuinely insane and hugely embarrassing that in this country political donations from corporate entities receive greater speech protection than permanent residents protesting US-funded war

Indeed. It’s worth noting also that Bezos’s post-election behavior confirms that his claim about his refusal to allow the Post to endorse—that it was an apolitical act intended to preserve the paper’s reputation for objectivity—was precisely the brazen, ludicrous lie we thought it was then.

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

Jeannette Rankin (1880-1973) She was the first ever woman to serve in the US Congress when she was elected in 1916. You don’t think that’s impressive? Well, it most certainly was. Because this was four years before women had the right to vote in America. #WomensHistoryMonth

One time I need tech blogs before they take their victory laps on caring To actually deal with how they enabled the ish before Especially techdirt whose record on race and regulation even on this here platform has been abysmal Especially to Brazilians

The country claims Smith & Wesson and other gunmakers are turning a blind eye to hundreds of thousands of high-powered weapons made in the U.S that are illegally trafficked into in the hands of Mexican cartels.

Really bleak news for millions of kids - especially ones who are poor or who have special needs.

Geekvape, Lost Mary, Elf Bar and other top vape brands all trace back to one man in China
