Federal employees are now being told they will be fired if they do not reply to a guy who does not respond to the Moms of his kids.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Mt congressman, Troy Carter, is about to have a tele-town hall. Looking forward to this.

It's all theater, horserace, and fun little thought experiments for these guys.

I call his office daily to tell him this.

To put Russia’s 250,000 dead in Ukraine in perspective, that’s more than 3X the number of US troops killed in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq combined, and all in three years rather than decades.

*silently counting out fourteen-ish months*

I want to highlight this again and, since it may seem kind of trivial to folks who haven’t been in or around the military community (esp. overseas), emphasize that it absolutely is not. The culture of the Chain Of Command runs very deep, and publicly disrespecting SecDef is a very big deal.

The EVILS are all up and down the net worth totem pole.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

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

But CJ Gardner-Johnson let an extra 15 seconds run off the clock.

It doesn't appear there will be a Swift-Kelce engagement announcement tonight.

Which Jeep commercial is worse - Harrison Ford's or Bruce Springsteen's?

You don't need to suck up to Murdoch Burkhardt.

Nice job Saints letting Baun go.

Chevron called it the Gulf of America in their SB ad. Fuck them.

It'll be irreparable harm to others. But for Trump and his cronies? No harm at all.

This is terrible news, but a good reminder that caving to the power structure won't save your job. Just months ago, Shogan was "sanitizing" history exhibits to appease Republicans.

In things that you absolutely saw coming, Federalist and Daily Wire writer who accused drag queens of being groomers arrested for child molestation. www.dailydot.com/debug/aaron-...

MIKE LUCKOVICH APPRECIATION POST @mluckovich.bsky.social is one of the greatest political cartoonists of all time. Thank you for 3 decades of scathing satire, remarkable insight and helping us all laugh to avoid weeping openly. 🙏 Your longtime fan, Mar🐫

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

hungary remains an object lesson in how conservative anxieties about The Birthrate Thing lead directly to policies that are horrible for The Birthrate Thing, because--at bottom--they do not treat women like human beings, and women don't like it www.liberalcurrents.com/the-crisis-o...

LA STUDENT WALK OUT - RIGHT NOW: high school students have walked out of class and gathered in front of LA city hall for the fourth straight day of anti-ICE, immigration rights protests. Solidarity with the youth! 🫡 Fuck ICE!

I'm coming to think that "cringe" is the most toxic impulse in leftist discourse. It belittles sincerity. Sincerity is good!

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned. The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.

Tell me this isn’t a test to see what the post office can do to monitor and block mail once they put Comstock into effect, please?

thanks bsky! this is a big help

On Friday, up to a thousand students at #Arizona State University (ASU) marched on an attempted rally by neo-Nazis who were calling on students to report undocumented people to #ICE. The crowd surrounded the Nazis + flipped their table. itsgoingdown.org/students-shu...

Chewbacchus tonight. It's gonna be a beautiful night, pure joy at a time when we need it the most.

in case you missed it, the Los Angeles Times bowlderized an op-ed by Eric Reinhart this week, fundamentally altering the point he was making in order to shape it into a piece that cast RFK Jr. in a flattering light; we've published the piece as the author intended newrepublic.com/article/1910...
