If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

A message to Jewish Americans, especially our leaders, please join us in this appeal to Vice President Vance: Until you condemn the many connections to neo-Nazis in your new administration, please stay off of the sacred ground upon which our parents and grandparents were slaughtered.

I know, I've said this before, but: if Joe Biden made Selena Gomez a "special government employee," she blocked all appropriated funding for ICE and their grants/contracts, and then started posting about how DHS didn't exist, nobody would doubt that was all unconstitutional and illegal.

It really is that simple. If Biden had announced he appointed Selena Gomez to shut down ICE, nobody would doubt that's illegal and unconstitutional. Appointing Musk to shut down USAID is no different.

This is a national emergency:

To help people understand how much of a threat is taking place: The United States Justice Department leadership appears to be outright breaking the law to fire career civil servants for Trump. One person - acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll - is heroically staying true to the law.

Boy, these last eight days feel like a good reminder why democracies generally avoid letting people who attempt a coup come back to power….

Musk comes from a family that moved to South Africa *for* the racism. He has repeatedly endorsed Great Replacement Theory in the US & Neo-Nazis of the AfD in Germany. He championed the rights of white nationalists and restored Nazi accounts to Twitter. But I'm sure the Nazi salute was an accident.

As ever, the loss of something good and useful for Americans is framed as a loss for Democrats — in the mass media, everything becomes just a political football to be kicked back and forth instead of examined for its impact on everyday citizens regardless of political party.

Well, if more kids have to die of cancer, that’s just the price we have to pay to be sure that half-trillionaire and government leech Elon Musk doesn’t have to pay remotely his fair share of taxes.

The Albany YEM: one of the greatest, if not THE greatest YEMs of all time occurred 29 years ago today on 12/9/95. There's some excellent stuff to get to on this day in #phish history, but I had to start here. #phish #nowplaying youtu.be/zDsGhxciAK8?...

This is the most-read piece on @theatlantic.com. It should be the most-read piece. You should all read it, even though it may make you sad. Here’s a gift link so you can read it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The incoming administration has nominated a gang of sexual predators, vindictive psychopaths and utter incompetents to be the presidential cabinet and the Washington Post has gone full-court-press on the Hunter Biden pardon. Our political media is deeply, deeply broken.

The world’s richest man unleashed a wave of online harassment at a US government employee who works to make agriculture more climate-resilient for the sole reason that she had the word “diversification” in her job title, which he assumed meant “diversity”.

Thank God Merrick Garland waited nearly 2 years to appoint Jack Smith because, after all, nothing is more important than preventing the optics of politicization.

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.
