If you’re a JSOC dude who’s been bricked into the walls of a compound in Syria for the last three weeks as part of a plan to disrupt a neurotoxin transfer, Signal me at timmarchman.01 when you get fired for not sending Elon Musk’s intern a bullet-pointed list of this week’s wins.

All of the people cheering on Luigi and saying that he did nothing wrong when he executed a premeditated murder make me really uncomfortable. Once you say that he’s justified, I can’t trust that you aren’t going to say political violence against more people is justified, and that’s a real bad path.

if you need somebody to nick the dictator's luts, call Lutnick

"The richest man alive, an actual Nazi and a fucking sicko, who was not elected, is firing tens of thousands of people to further enrich himself and the president he has usurped all to make Americans' lives worse" has to be among the biggest layups of all time for messaging. And yet.

Every Republican administration in the post-WWII era has committed crimes. Nixon got busted & punished for his. While he was in the midst of it, Roger Ailes came to his office & pitched him a RW media outlet. The explicit goal was to prevent the kind of social consensus that yields accountability.

The country is being run by a eugenicist cult led by the richest man on earth who is using IVF to have children with numerous women because he’s convinced them their sons will be geniuses who will rule the colony he wants to put on Mars.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Anyway here's how it played in the press last time anything went this far, just for reference

We have a Saturday night massacre. We have a Benghazi. We have tensions with Canada. The richest man on earth controls the government. We have a new Russiagate. We have a drunk running the military. We have a VP in league with neo-Nazis. Dems: “Keep your powder dry. He’ll screw up any day now.”

well it has certainly been an amusing prank to let the worst people alive take over the american government for a few weeks, but I think it's probably gone on long enough

The most leveraged man in the world wants to break everything as long as it lowers interest rates back to zero. I'm sure there's no personal interest there.

The order to drop the Adams prosecution was a shocking moment, Trump crossing a rubicon of corruption, the kind of thing that could have spiraled into a massive crisis and scandal and triggered mass resignations… except Democrats simply didn’t react, sending the signal it doesn’t matter much.

"I'm complying in advance!"

Donald Trump is making you pay more for beer so he can give tax breaks to the wealthy.

Here's the acting head of FEMA just unliterally deciding that Article I is fake earlier today. The Constitution is not in effect.

This is repulsive. If you’re friends with Trump, you are above the law, unprosecutable by the Feds. Extreme corruption. Everyone involved should rot in jail.

I keep thinking of this thing yesterday, where I posted something about Musk slashing cancer funding, and some Twitter Nazi responded "correct - fagtopia is dead," and I just can't think of any reason a society should have to suffer these men, much less as our preeminent political force

It’s time

Good time to remember that the Bills lost the Super Bowl four times in a row which is harder to do than winning the damn thing once.

When they ask you who won Super Bowl LIX, you will respond, Kendrick Lamar. I just turned my tv off.

Enjoy this because next year’s Super Bowl is going to be Lee Greenwood and the anti-Target MAGA rapper.

This entire political project is about affirmative action but only for guys who scream slurs at work. Professionals largely don’t have to put up with this and they want to MAKE you put up with it.

This October tweet by @whstancil.bsky.social holds up

Senator Schatz, @schatz.bsky.social, rejects idea that Dems should wait for Trump to touch 'most popular' programs to fight. "I'm not going to just wait until they touch the ACA. That's the kind of pundit-brain, poll-tested bullshit that got us into this mess." www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

if the president’s lackeys can functionally seize control of treasury funds and dismantle a congressionally-created agency without consequence, it’s not that it’s a constitutional crisis as much as it means the constitution is vapor.

Fundamentally what has happened here is that Elon Musk seized control of Twitter and turned it into endless hate rally for maladjusted sociopaths who want to see the world burn, and then it helped elect Trump, who made Elon Musk king, and he's burning the world to impress those sociopaths

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Wall Street on tariff policy:

He’s lucky we have the AI thing b/c a tariff-led economic slowdown would be the biggest self-own in history

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.

Goldman Sachs, Jan 21: "Despite Trump’s comments that the 25% tariff will be implemented in 10 days, we continue to believe the odds of a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico are low (20%)." Why have analysts been caught so flat-footed by Trump doing *exactly what he said he would*?
