i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

The AP must refuse this but more importantly the rest of the White House Correspondents Association should back them. Boycott the press briefings until they relent, and if they refuse, walk out. There is no real use to them in any case. Trump craves attention. Deny him that and he’ll cave.

👋 Hospital Finance Professional here I’ve had to explain indirects a lot this weekend. Here’s an excellent explainer thread 🧵 Musk, Trump, GOP and the Project 2025 Fascists are pushing this country off a cliff. Make America Sick & Stupid Again.

I’m assuming he is annoyed that everyone is talking about Musk and that the Democrats were actually unified on something and decided to make himself the main character again to get his dopamine fix, which is why he chose right now for one of his most blatantly evil ideas ever

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

to recap: — Trump was for the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's adolescent energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

And yup, as expected, the NYT and WaPo stories about the app going dark only mention that Congress passed and Biden signed a law. Zero mention of Trump's previous actions and comments to push for a ban, or of his cozying up to its leadership (and vice versa.)

The LA fires are a profound example of what climate scientists have been struggling to prevent for decades. I hope everyone remembers that oil and gas companies, with full knowledge, created this future, in exchange for their windfall profits and geopolitical power.

For like 20 years Wall Street’s tried to punish Costco for ‘overpaying’ employees & refusing to raise prices just to gouge customers, despite healthy profits. They’re like the one company that’s proof if you succeed at capitalism somewhat fairly it’s still not enough for these fucking vampires.
