If there’s ever a Democratic president again it’s going to be fun to see the stories about the “enormous expansion of the federal government” if they’re somehow able to claw back a few percent of the federal workers who’ve been fired over the last couple weeks.

NEW: Elon Musk and SpaceX have taken control of part of Texas. In the town of Brownsville, one of the poorest communities in America, Musk sold hope. Instead, SpaceX caused earthquakes, workplace injuries, and displacement. And now they've built a company town too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cZE...

I know no one sees it this way but me but I literally cannot get over how close we are on this. You get one Senator throwing a wrench in the gears and this house of cards is gonna collapse very fast.

Honestly, the most legendary part of January 6th is rather than stay and fight this menace to our democracy, the entire Senate adjourned for TWO WEEKS by...unanimous consent.

Authoritarianism suffocates not only political life but also economic life. Instead of the best products rising to the top, people get coerced into using Dogshit because the ceo of dogshit enterprises owns the government

The future in the U.S., no matter what the outcome, will be profound division. There will be those who supported justice and those who we despise for the rest of our lives. We are past the point of reconciliation.

Teamsters represent 2,000 federal workers and tens of thousands of public sector workers whose jobs depend on federal money. Sean O'Brien isn't just a class traitor, he's a traitor to his own members. He should not be welcome in any labor space.

Perhaps one of the differences between the midcentury right and MAGA is that the earlier conservatism seemed to have a world it sought to preserve—as hierarchical as it may have been—whereas today, the right seems bent on destruction, compelled only by fantasy and rage.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I know I just said that even those known for getting scammed over and over will eventually learn the lesson, but Milei, the libertarian president of Argentina, just promoted a memecoin that turned out to be a scam and all his fanboys fell for it. TWICE. WITH THE SAME COIN. IN LESS THAN A WEEK!!!

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

Not for nothing...but one of the reasons we know that Social Security isn't paying out benefits to a bunch of people who are 150 is that they just default to stopping benefits for people who are 115+ secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx...

i guess i never posted about it here before but president's day seems like as good a holiday as any to bring it back up: we don't have nearly enough federal holidays. that's why i think we should create around 30 more, each anchored to the friday or monday around a significant union army victory

In 1988, the FAA required new aircraft seats to withstand 16x the force of gravity — 16g. It is likely that because of that decision, in part, that everyone survived today's Delta crash. As @PeterGoelz said tonight it was an instance "where a government regulation saved lives."

Fresh off the overturning of Roe, Democratic leadership including Pelosi and the Clinton's flew to Texas to campaign for Cuellar, the lone vote against codifying Roe (who also happened to be under FBI investigation). He defeated Jessica Cisneros by 0.6%. Now he's voting with Trump 100% of the time.

What I've been trying to emphasize to everyone is this is truly not a progressive/corporate wing thing. EVERY Senator is giving unanimous consent on everything. Not a single progressive needs permission to take charge of the situation. None of them are choosing to.

Hey, @davidfrum.bsky.social, here’s an idea: COVID deniers won because folks with cushy jobs at publications like The Atlantic were extremely quick to join right-wing dark money groups and their fringe scientists in demanding we abandon nonpharmaceutical interventions and layered protection.
