I just know the Vatican PR team is sweating the possibility of the pope dying while Conclave is still being talked about

Anyone running a DOGE Death counter yet? Somewhere to tally up all the deaths even tangentially related to DOGE's slapdash cuts. You know, like our own 'victims of communism'

So long, bozo. You got everything you wanted and your own party hates you for it lol.

This is my current understanding of the Constitutional order in the United States It is, needless to say, very bad

"Like the abolitionists of the 19th century arrayed against the planter class, today we need to break the economic, ideological and political foundations of billionaire rule." @lfelizleon.bsky.social for @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social inthesetimes.com/article/labo...

This piece explains this thing well--that "Christian" folks who want to look like they are not really anti-semitic go to a concentration camp or Holocaust museum to shed their anti-semitic skin. But to be clear, they don't become butterflies--they remain poisonous snakes.

If Democrats in the Senate were being as obstructionist as they're claiming, Donald Trump's nominees wouldn't be getting confirmed at the fastest rate since George W. Bush. Yes, even faster than when Barack Obama had 56 votes in the chamber.

I'm eating like a KING this morning! *two-egg omlette

Me, at the dentist, still bleeding profusely from my gums: "Why yes I floss everyday"

Congratulations to the big winner here: Measles

a maximalist strategy of opposition against every nominee as unqualified would have stood a better chance of creating the kind of public outrage that might have led to more republican defections, but i'm sure the imaginary family that chuck schumer relies on to guide his decisions disagreed

Those Contitutional Conservatives evaporated pretty quickly, huh?

It’s deeply perverse that the single biggest recipient of govt welfare in world history is on a brazenly unlawful crusade to fire civil servants while the media credulously refers to it as a “cost cutting” program

what's ol'Jim Comey up to? He in FBI heaven yet?

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Courts *ordered* the Trump admin to stop its spending freeze Yet ProPublica found place after place where $ is still frozen -hot meals for elderly and disabled -groceries for those in need -maternal & child health services -a clinic that serves the poor www.propublica.org/article/trum...

sooooooo, what's Ken Martin been up to?

Lol. The thing about blood and soil nationalism, is that soil part is kinda important

Real Gaddafi vibes emanating from the Whitehouse

This is absolutely an attempt to speedrun the Orbanization of American Higher Education. It creates an immediate, unforeseen, and massive budget gap for every major university system in the US. There will either be a "get rid of woke* for (some of) the money" deal or a straight hit job. *whatever

Holy shit. This is wild.

Bessent to jail

The DOGE boys have unfettered access to federal systems and the best they can come up with is Lutheran Family Services is laundering money

Helpful Hint: If you look at a crisis/catastrophe, and your analysis leads you to blame the least powerful people involved, you're a reactionary.

NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination. “We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask… It feels dirty and illegal.”

The US is an empty shell of a country full of people willingly getting on their knees to serve a fascist foreign born billionaire. In any healthy society Elon would be executed, but he's not going to face any consequences

The concentration camp is now open.

which way, Western man
