No, Elon. 40% of people who call Social Security's 1-800 number are not fraudsters, Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme & nobody who is 150 years old is getting a Social Security check. Stop the lies. Stop the disinformation. Get your billionaire hands off Social Security.

If we didn’t laugh, we’d cry. @theonion.com

I know it bothers you as much as it does me that journalism as an institution can’t process that what it’s seeing on a daily basis is evil people doing evil sh*t Not incompetence, not naivete, not negligence, not mispeaking, not mixups, not miscommunications: straight-up evil people doing evil sh*t

👍

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

Private contact details of the most important security advisers to U.S. President Donald Trump can be found on the internet. DER SPIEGEL reporters were able to find mobile phone numbers, email addresses and even some passwords belonging to the top officials.

Actually I think the first rule is to lie. Every chance you get.

Bravo to @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social for his bravery and journalistic integrity.

Democratic House Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "Imma skip off real quick...free speech is not about whatever it is that y'all want somebody to say, and the idea that you want to shut down everybody that is not Fox News is bullshit." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

The only thing standing between Donald Trump and his authoritarian dream is the courts. But to defeat him, we need lawyers willing to litigate against him. Trump is trying to intimidate lawyers and law firms to stop fighting. At least for me, it won't work. I wear his scorn like a badge of honor.

When Pete Buttigieg starts cursing, shit has gotten real.

I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

It’s nice to have a Trump administration scandal that’s just pure idiocy instead of the regular idiotic malevolence

I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:

Thank you @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

“Wait guys, P. Hegseth is typing…”

This right here 👇🏾

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Contemplation for today…. if you LIKE IT give it 💙and plz RP😘😘

First they came for decorum and I said nothing because honestly fuck decorum

Perhaps the idea is to streamline the agency and to make it more efficient by focusing it on people Trump doesn’t like. Maybe it will be renamed the Internal Retribution Service.

How can they NOT SEE

“Many do not have transportation or they are homebound or in the hospital and don’t have access or simply don’t know how to use the internet... What happens to them? What happens to the person who can’t do it online and now their local office has closed?” www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Casar: You can quickly explain Doge with just two numbers. First: $8 million a day. That’s how much Elon Musk collects in federal government contracts. Second: $65 a day. That’s how much the average senior—someone who has worked their entire life—gets from Social Security.…

Here he is again—Malcolm Kenyatta, bringing the facts, ferocity, and fight. He speaks truth, stands tall, and never backs down. If Democrats want to win and lead with purpose, they should take notes. He’s not just showing up—he’s setting the standard. @malcolmhq.bsky.social

Lesson to @columbiauniversity.bsky.social , Paul Weiss, Judge Beryl Howell, @schumer.senate.gov : Don't surrender to bullies

You don’t need to leak false information. If it is false, you are just making it up. So either it is a leak of truthful information or it is someone making something up.

DOJ Designates Posting Photos Of Balding Elon Musk As Domestic Terrorism

Can’t make this up.

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.

Making people fear that: - They’re gonna lose their healthcare - Their families & friends are gonna be deported - They’re gonna lose their Social Security - Their kids are gonna lose their education IS RADICAL DOMESTIC TERRORISM Pass it on…

Walz: "I think we have to assume the very worst in everything this administration does, and we need to prepare for it."

SPED parents are (1) acutely aware of their children's rights and the gov't role securing them, (2) fiercely protective, but (3) deceptively polite when they're dealing with local officials. But if *national* leaders mess with their kids? The gloves will come off and they will destroy them.

I just found this and I can’t believe my ears. Marjorie Taylor Greene said that adoptive or parents through marriage aren’t real parents because they’re “not biological.” She even told a witness who is a mother through marriage that she is “not a mother.”
