China can remain totalitarian longer than we can remain solvent. Never screw with people who have total control over their domestic information environment.

Perhaps it’s time to consider that you have an identity beyond what you buy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

New at The Nerd Reich: Curtis Yarvin Fears His Authoritarian Fantasy Is Flopping Peter Thiel's "Dark Enlightenment" guru gives President Elon Musk a "C-." Warning: This post contains graphic discussion of mass murder and violence. www.thenerdreich.com/curtis-yarvi...

📄 NEW: The Trump tariffs have caused shockwaves inside MAGA, breaking down the fragile coalition that propelled him to a second term. Democrats should seize the opportunity to map the fissures and exploit the chaos. america2.news/tariffs-expo...

London protest today! What happens in the US matters around the world. Make your voices heard.

So Jim Banks R-Ind, the Senator who told the newly laid off HHS employee he probably “deserved it” is the 291st most popular politician. I just can’t imagine why. Maybe he deserves to get voted out.

Often when I warned about this attack, people couldn’t comprehend it because it harms the GOP and their supporters. You never understood: they don’t think dollars are “real.” Do you get it now? This is an effort to kill the dollar and replace it with “hard” currency.

To the rest of the world: we are aware that the United States has been captured by insane sociopaths and apologize for this inconvenience. These policies are wildly unpopular and we will try to fix this in due course. In the meantime, carry on without us and accept our apologies.

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

This makes me so sick.

Using Substack is a bad deal all around. You make less money, they steal your audience and then there's....this america2.news/the-substack... @davetroy.com

A common trope of conservatives is without government funding, private industry will fill the void. The problem is private industry wants a sure payout. They don’t make investments unless they’re sure they’ll make money. (more)

Read & learn. "No one advocating for a government shutdown “fight” with Republicans seemed to give any thought to how such a shutdown might interact with the debt ceiling X-date, coming up in as little as 60 days, and whether an ongoing shutdown might increase the likelihood of default."

Democrats can choose between voting for the bad CR and fixing things later, or shutting down the government, risking having it never re-open — what Musk wants. Repudiate the bill, demand changes, but don’t fall for the trap and also be blamed for it. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/u...

If the government shuts down, it may never re-open. The goal of Musk, Yarvin, Vance, Thiel is to destroy. Keep that in mind when you get angry with Senators who vote “yes” on the CR.

I planned to take the day off, but this made me too mad. jessica.substack.com/p/jd-vance-i...

So RFK Jr’s CDC is planning a study to look at autism and vaccines despite numerous studies showing there is no connection. What will happen is he hires the right “scientists” to get the answer he wants and then health insurance no longer covers vaccines because they’re “harmful”.

And this is the guy chosen to “fix” the FAA…

Q: How will this get resolved? A: When mainstream Republicans realize their party has been captured by a hostile foreign power, that their financial security is at grave risk, and they take action to deal with that fact. Help them understand that’s what’s happened.

no joke this will be a very easy route for the U.S. to end up importing, say, the next Saudi aristocrat who plots out a terrorist attack

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) telling reporters why he changed his budget resolution vote to yes after a call from Trump: “… in this game, you’re either at the table or on the menu.” Makes it pretty clear how Trump works.

This is really interesting/scary. It shows how quickly Trump has politicized the military. Would they support a coup? www.chamberlainnetwork.us/tracker-mili...

Four Republican Senators need to change their party to Democrat now. This would be their opportunity to save the country, democracy and their honor. Looking at you @lisamurkowski.bsky.social , McConnell, Collins, @chuckgrassley.bsky.social

“the only way to … stop this “takeover” of American government is to provoke a schism inside the Republican party in Congress that is substantial enough to bring a majority of both the Senate and the House onto the side of preserving the rule of law.” washingtonspectator.org/the-wide-ang...

What has been 'interesting' is how quickly some firms have leapt to go along with Trump's agenda, even though they are not legally required to. It makes me think that's what they wanted to do all along. It tells you who they are.

Trump voters: Why do you hate DEI, even in private workplaces, but rape is OK?

Musk will likely have TikTok soon to keep reaching younger audiences with his propaganda. A Musk Youth program. Sounds familiar from WWII theins.ru/en/news/2786...

Someone should probably tell Trump that JD Vance, Elon, and his crew of groyper incels are going to overthrow him. Marko Elez says he'd "take an Elon monarchy," and replied making fun of Trump supporters. #killtheDOGE
