Still think this guy's the good billionaire? Already salivating over taking Ukraine's resources.

It’s awe-inspiring how he unlocked the whole system’s capacity for the most shameless bullshit, he’s not John fucking Wick, he didn’t kill the dude with a stray pencil

if you want to understand the values that can save this country, look up your local addiction recovery meeting and go listen to people

Like Eskimos having three hundred different words for snow, journalists have 1001 descriptions for a Hitler Salute

Precisely what we warned about when the emails first went out.

Genuinely couldn't believe this figure until I saw the Financial Times confirm it using Meta's own financial reporting data For THIS $100 billion is genuinely the kind of money you could "do the impossible" with. Crack nuclear fusion. HIV vaccine. Universal flu vaccine And they spent it on this

Elon Musk just stole $80 MILLION from the comptroller’s office as a warning to not fuck around. She is in a rock and a hard place with the feds. If she removes him, Trump will rain hell on the STATE not just NYC.

They own DOJ and are clearing out every attorney with an ethical bone in their body. They have a US Attorney in D.C. ready to prosecute political enemies. They have Kash Patel, who is a first order thug. Democratic electeds and former officials are going to spend time in jail.

worth mentioning again that senate democrats’ plan for strategic confirmation votes in exchange for blocking the worst nominees was a complete failure

If Kathy Hochul fired Adams - and it's not clear that she can - the Andrew Cuomo-stans would rejoice. He's currently in the lead for the mayor's election this fall. And that is 100% on New York "liberals." Going from the frying pan to the fire thanks to VOTERS who love sex pests.
