Maybe the most illustrative sentence about what’s going on that I’ve read in weeks.

Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence. That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received. The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.

you're free to cover whatever topic you wish, as long as it's the topic I want. that topic? freedom

It's a dinner plate with Chun-Li's Kikosho attack!

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

That's Luke Farritor and Gavin Kliger who personally consigned people to die from AIDS unnecessarily. Again, Luke Farritor and Gavin Kliger personally consigned people to die from AIDS unnecessarily.

Democrats are out with messaging that the Republicans didn’t play fair, which, first of all, grow the fuck up, and, second of all, Republicans just voted to kill Americans by stripping them of healthcare and food. Maybe talk about that. People will die because of the Medicaid and SNAP cuts.

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.

Government efficiency is when every federal agency has to send a daily emergency email to its workers telling them to ignore another daily email from a different department trying to fire them without knowing what their jobs are.

Trump is SHUTTING DOWN all 8000 EV chargers at federal facilities These EV chargers were already bought, paid for with our tax dollars, installed, and operational THIS is what real government waste looks like And what does Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, think of this?

New — HHS just got another email with guidance stating that they aren’t required to respond to the 5 bullets email, but if they do they should follow specific guidelines including: “Assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly.”

This is a real statement put out by the real (interim) U.S. Attorney for D.C. It’s almost impressive just how much it gets so wrong in so few words.

YOUNG MAN, there's no need to feel down i said YOUNG MAN, pagliacci the clown you can SEE HIM he is playing in town you should go and have a good time

dunno why we are debating elon musk's intelligence when we all fucking saw him play elden ring with two shields and flasks removed from quick pouch

Depressing brilliance from my pal Ruben Bolling.

Illegally cutting cancer research and meals on wheels to pay for PR ads for themselves.

Being radicalized increasingly since 2016 has just been banging my head against this post indefinitely.

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.

*AI Warning* Be aware that these images circulating are AI. The images are scary similar to an actual oil painting. It's been out for awhile that this so called "artist," that goes by the name "Roger Haus," is using AI. Don't be fooled.

Holy shit, Blast Zero is actually doing all the animation for the Samurai Pizza Cats game on paper.

I will never stop thinking about this Gabe Newell quote

"new samurai pizza cats game and its zelda 2" what in the fucking hell man

I am saying this with one hundred percent sincerity: "Dolly Parton is upset with you" is a strong enough mark of shame to completely kneecap this entire movement and if the dems actually had a finger on the pulse of the country they'd be booking this beautiful person for speaking tours

Something Dems need to confront explicitly is that there is no good version of the future where this man and a lot of the people who have been working for him aren’t in prison for the rest of their lives They literally can’t be allowed to remain free, it’s too dangerous to the rest of us

Dem Senator: Case law favors our lawsuit. Under section 14 clause c3, this is illegal within the precedent of de locta maximus et in parte wingardium leviosa 16-year-old with haircut that has never existed before: *presses button to turn off electrical grid*

again, this is the easiest political slam dunk in the world find a veteran with a lifetime of public service who has been fired for no reason and bring him on television with you do it again tomorrow with a different veteran, and again, and again show the human cost

Imagine the immaturity and cruelty that goes into a post like this. Zelenskyy has valiantly led a nation brutally and criminally assaulted by Putin and that has suffered tragic losses and destruction. And you think it’s cute to refer to denigrate him as a child. This a person with no soul.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

It is unbelievable the level of entitlement. You can almost summarize this entire reactionary moment in this image. No great deeds, only heroic praise. No give, only take. Me me me me me me. Give me things. Make me feel good. Why aren't you making me feel good. Make me feel powerful. Do it FOR ME.

Vance visiting Dachau when his own government has banned governmental observance of Holocaust Remembrance Day, all while endorsing German fascists afterwards and telling democratic German parties to work WITH the fascists, is truly vile and disgusting, even for what we expect of him.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was: * first awarded under Trump * paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom * for researching *defenses* against deception * not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years

NASA, I will remind you, is <0.5% of the US budget. LESS THAN ZERO POINT FIVE PERCENT. This is like trying to save disk space by deleting a text file when you've got a gigabytes of music you'll never listen to. More proof that what Musk and DOGE are doing is a lie.

"The problem is AI and social media, which I can solve with AI and social media" is a real choice

Democrats, in my opinion, should not act like a bottom-tier presidential win, 4th or 5th weakest since 1960, voids the Constitution. They should, in my opinion, say we're done voting for anything until Trump remembers that the people run this government through Congress. And he must follow the law.
