The question I am really struggling with right now is: What is "law & order" and the entire American constitutional order for if it isn't a Go Directly to Jail card for guys like Donald Trump and Elon Musk for doing exactly what they're doing right now?

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

In this rambling babble, Trump says that they sent the email to see “if people exist.” He also said they have to go to Fort Knox to see if the gold really there. Never expected “object permanence” to be a problem for a sitting president, but here we are.

Watching John Oliver and I gotta say, the part on conservatives complaining about being censored is great. Conservatives are censored the same way I censor my dog by making her shit in the yard instead of on the couch.

The most corrupt, inept, ideologically perverse, intellectually vapid, ethically and morally bankrupt administration in US history is at the helm during a time when every major industry faces unprecedented disruption from Cryptocurrencies and Artificial Intelligence. What could possibly go wrong?

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

I once wrote an episode of Adam Ruins Everything where he said that IQ is a bad measure of actual mental ability. It got some of the most wild, furious responses online. There are people who base their entire world view on a relatively meaningless number

An interesting hypothetical if you’re wondering if Elon Musk is a genius or not is to compare his behaviour in any situation to what a complete moron would do in the same situation

The only entity from the campaign promising to privatize public services was Project 2025 and Trump said he wasn't affiliated with it. You cannot claim a mandate to do something you lied saying that you wouldn't do it

We're gonna look back at the media covering up Trump's senility in the runup to the 2024 election as one of the most successful propaganda campaigns of the last century. Will be a defining feature of his presidency and get worse as the term goes on.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.
