How is this okay?

We do this, because we love our country.

The system that made the billionaires rich isn’t quite enough. I don’t get it.

Probably fine

We already knew in 2018 that he was a traitor.

A sliver of good news: About $250 billion of the roughly $300 billion in frozen Russian assets are not in American banks. This money could be released to Ukraine by the European Union, Canada, Britain, Australia, Japan and Singapore—and circumvent Trump’s betrayal. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/b...

An excellent piece by Beschloss. Read thru his IL Gov. Prtizker quote!

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

Disgraceful, despicable, intolerable.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

DOGE WEBSITE HACKED. Did you hear Musk or Trump talk about this? fortune.com/2025/02/14/e...

The richest man in the world is doing this…..

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

Give us a break. McConnell had his chance after the deadly insurrection. He could have ended this nightmare with a Senate conviction. He didn’t. Let’s never forget his unforgivable disservice to the Constitution and America. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Rick Stengel: “What’s so bizarre about so many of these nominees is, like Tulsi Gabbard, they blame America first. Everybody in government I’ve ever known has a bias in favor of the U.S. and a bias in favor of us…She and her ilk have the exact opposite view.” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-t...

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Trump and Musk's nose picking kid. I posted another of these photos last night showing an uncomfortable looking Trump next to the nose picking kid while Musk entertained reporters. Last night, Lawrence had some thoughts. www.thedailybeast.com/lawrence-odo...

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

Elon Musk is a terrible president!

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained access to the computer systems at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), claiming to use that access to search for programs and staff linked to diversity policies.

lol, "vetting"

I think this is the right sentiment about a lot of things but not about inflation. The levels that followed the pandemic were enough to crush incumbents, and did all over the world.

Call your damn Senator. Demand a response on our national security in the Treasury is being hijacked by Musk men

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

How Elon Musk can gain access to the payment systems of the American government confounds me. Are there no laws or restrictions that would deny a private citizen from doing this? I’d love to hear from government employees or experts on this.

I'm thinking of applying for a concession permit. I bet a lot of MAGA will come ---- so to speak.

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Have you noticed the Banks and AI - big tech 7 - just keep circulating their billions and calling it the stock market. It’s all a circular billionaire machine.

“Auschwitz is a warning. It is the proof that evil is real. It is the proof that human beings are capable of monstrous acts. Ordinary people died at Auschwitz. Ordinary people were murdered at Auschwitz.” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/elon-is-sa...

Ever the optimist in Minnesota I just ordered another SUP. On sale of course.

The cruelty is the point. The hatefulness is the point. The freedom to abuse is the point.
