Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice

We cannot make the headlines blunter people www.theverge.com/policy/77979...

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

The shape of politics in the US right now is increasingly that the media, political and economic elites are allied with the Trump regime against the actual people of the country who hate it

“Telling a reporter ‘Maybe they’ll have to go after you’ IS an abuse of power.”

This needs to be yelled consistently/repeatedly for the next four years. Republicans spent the past decade whining that their right to free speech has been infringed, because they weren't allowed to post slurs on Twitter. Now we're locking people up for memeing about podcast bros.

Happening now, they’re blaring this mix at ICE in LA. I added captions.

Regarding Musk, eventually *everyone* realizes Trump and his henchmen are clowns unfit for the offices they hold.

Unsurprisingly, the group that most consistently continues to support a dude whose position winds up at “your kids will have less” are white boomers.

Bro I bet this shit hits so hard if you're 11 years old.

A headline from Hell. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

Why would Biden do this to us?

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

one of the most accurate memes out there

"Just trust Trump" is the only plan they have for you.

World-ranked Path of Exile 2 gamer Elon Musk couldn't figure out how to turn off his chat so viewers made fun of him while he streamed from his jet for an hour and 44 minutes with stuff like "THANK YOU ELON MUSK FOR INVENTING NOT PAYING CHILD SUPPORT" www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZCe...

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

Wall Street bets discord is so goddamn funny right now

Trump is golfing lmao

Now THAT’s a headline, no notes

real "smoke 'em if you got 'em" hours on U.S. social media right now

Trump: "An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."

But we're going to touch the stove and we'll be touching it more than probably ever before. And we're not going to get burned. We're not going to get burned

eat shit nerd

Going after high visibility university students is a way for ICE to instill fear even though it clearly lacks the operational capacity to complete the promised mass deportations. The cruelty is a performance that comes from a place of weakness.

Among other things, this is a flat-out dare to Jeffrey Goldberg to post all the stuff he held back.

Pete Hegseth keeps texting me that I have unpaid EZ Pass tolls

Pete Hegseth in 2016: "The people we rely on to do dangerous and difficult things for us rely on one thing from us: That we will not... be reckless with the dangerous things they are doing for us. That's the national security implications of a private server that's unsecured."

Pete Hegseth in 2023 on Biden "handling classified documents... flippantly": "If at the very top there's no accountability," then we have "two tiers of justice."

One nice thing about the Trump era is that it’s revealed how much of the American political, media and economic elite believe in absolutely nothing.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

This is 24 hours apart. Never forget this. They are liars. Their resistance is fake. They want to be powerless so they can reap the rewards of pretending to resist while risking nothing and attempting nothing. They are the reason the country is where it is and we won't be safe until they're gone.

Coming up on the five-year anniversary of the DOGE Master’s call. 🤡

Elon Musk is looking more and more desperate, Charlie Warzel writes: theatln.tc/xHgpDLih

Walz: Donald Trump doesn't know how anything works. Donald Trump is this caricature that had a reality TV show that pretended like he knew how to run businesses. The reality is, he doesn't

Pandemic frying elites brains because they became very Online during lockdowns is going to explain so much over the next decade

First, Goldman cuts S&P target. Now Yardeni cuts to 6400 (prior 7000) “.. It has dawned on Wall Street (and us!) that President Trump’s tariffs aren’t negotiating chips .. They’re trade barriers, triggering other countries to respond in kind, and they jeopardize US inflation and economic growth.”

I would, in a heartbeat, vote for anyone anywhere on the left side of the spectrum, left to center, if they promised to fight Trump tooth and nail - including a moderate over a progressive who wasn’t fighting

Flashback:

(NYT) - Elon Musk has signaled to President Trump’s advisers in recent days that he wants to put $100 million into groups controlled by the Trump political operation, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/u...

America: Can you do something to help the stock-- Trump: --portfolio of the world's richest man? Say no more
