Each week in this country somehow dumber than the last.

Sign at Tesla dealership in #SanFrancisco reads, "We Hate Him Too."

🚨NEWS: Trump is firing specific inspectors general whose offices have investigated Elon Musk’s companies and their business matters with the government. Inspectors general are independent nonpartisan appointees who audit spending and investigate fraud.

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

one thing that has become crystal clear over the last two weeks (if it wasn't before) - these are not the guys we need right now www.idiotbox.site/p/these-are-...

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Mythbusting mornings: Federal workers are on the job. Half don’t telework at all. Of those who telework, they’re at a duty station around 3 days a week - same as peers in the broader economy. They do their jobs from the road, the lab, the phone, the laptop, the office - same as members of Congress.

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including: - Holocaust Remembrance Day - MLK Day - Juneteenth

🚨REVEALED: Read John Roberts' White House memo declaring that a president cannot block congressionally required spending enshrined in law: levernews.com/roberts-memo... Trump's attempt to do this will be decided by Roberts' Supreme Court. Share this with others 👇

And tie this message to billionaires. TIE EVERYTHING TO BILLIONAIRES.

Trump administration just ordered a blackout on public communications by agencies across government, multiple officials tell me. Here's a memo from HHS I obtained describing the comms blackout.

Never had as many govt leakers reach out as I have today. Not even close

Absolutely incredible metaphor for how 2025 will probably play out. Happy New Year, everyone! www.irishstar.com/news/us-news...

24 hours left to make the Star Trek Irish Unification of 2024 thing a reality.

all my plans for the rest of the year

Reset the counter on days since I rubbed my eyes after handling roasted peppers back to zero.

Thanks to Elon Musk and Donald Trump, Republicans cut $190 million for pediatric cancer research from the funding bill. Congrats to DOGE on their first victory.

Also: are we saying re-skeeted? Just seems kinda… ugh

Reposted that last one because there’s a lot of misinformation and a whole ass fake manifesto making the rounds

There needs to be a news outlet that favors public disclosure. Every major media had the manifesto, happily quoted from it, but refused to publish it in full. Media paternalism at its worst. I'm trying to do something different on my site. Support us: kenklippenstein.substack.com

Former Amazon worker here; do not cross this picket line. Don't do it. Don't even order from them (unless absolutely necessary). They're a disgusting company to work for and the reason for my knee problems that required years of physical therapy. Fuck Amazon. We stand with the workers! 👊🏻✨

Happy Thanksgiving to all who, ah, thank.

ICE appears poised to expand its flagship surveillance program — a move, I found, preceded by months of lobbying by private prison companies. Latest for @levernews.com: www.levernews.com/inside-the-p...

132 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 132 years the problem has only gotten worse.

Not gonna lie folks, it’s been so long since I had fun on the ol’ bird app I’m not sure I can remember how to do posting for fun.
