In 1935 German leadership called a surprise meeting and informed their previous oath to uphold the Weimar constitution was now void and they instead must swear a personal oath to the Führer. Many claimed they didn’t like the order, but they did it anyway. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Exactly this. You simply cannot trust them to honor any commitment. No help for them in this negotiation.

Trump announces 5,000% increase in all numbers, @theonion.com

More of this. Also, consider writing the companies themselves and tell them

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The only competent person Trump has ever hired is Stormy Daniels.

So just to be clear: the head of the US Environment Protection Agency says the environment doesn't need protecting.

Outrageous.

Trump called *us* violent terrorists, while a new study *proved* the opposite. So they deleted that study so no one could find it. 👇🤬

Sen. Lisa Murkowski was the deciding vote to not release the Epstein files. Now the survivors are striking back.

“Only detainees were hit.” That’s how the government erases people with no charges, snatched off the street without warrants. The injured and killed detainees “don’t count” - ICE agents were cast as the victims instead. Complete erasure.

Remember? Just 2 days ago...

😂😂😂

Unprecedented corruption & lawless authoritarianism happening right in front of us, every day.

Cowards...

corporate americans are really tripping over themselves to answer the question “what would you have done” with “immediately join the vichy government and start deporting people to poland”

They've lost the 9yos

Another desperate attempt by people who can’t stand the idea of New Yorkers electing their mayor instead of billionaires buying one.

Don’t perform at the Trumpified Kennedy Center. newrepublic.com/post/200889/...

Apropos of nothing here, I absolutely detest the use of "compute" as a noun like, "It's going to take a lot of compute to drive the AI revolution."

True, but Trump's only policy tool is "everybody give me more money," so logic does not apply.

And they've just named Ben Carson as "Nutrition Adviser" (whatever that is) to Kennedy's so-called MAHA program. You'll recall that Carson is a retired neurosurgeon with no relevant experience in nutrition, at least from what I've seen. I'm sure this will go well.

Oh...

Imagine what they could do with the support of their erstwhile ally, the United States.

Many Fox News figures are now claiming Kimmel's reinstatement shows Trump never used autocratic pressure to get him removed. This suffers from an elementary logical flaw: Just because Trump and Brendan Carr didn't succeed doesn't mean they didn't abuse their powers. newrepublic.com/article/2008...

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

Unacceptable. This guy...

Big Tech's embrace of President Trump has left many of us wondering: What the hell happened to Silicon Valley? In our new politics issue, we're getting into it. Also, we're taking this cover across the US in billboards, posters and a mural. Clues to find us in the 🧵: www.wired.com/politics-iss...

I've been away from here all day and have just done a cursory scroll, but I haven't seen anyone suggest that Carr et al in the administration might be strongarming Sinclair and Nextstar to boycott Kimmel to (a) keep him off the air and (b) continue to punish Disney. Is that too far fetched?

Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for answers after more than a dozen people died in immigration detention, as the department rushes to expand.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

A statement from Tylenol

There is no way I'm watching trump speak at the UN in a few minutes. I can't bear listening to him pontificate and lie is the primary reason, but in this setting, he will also embarrass our country in front of the world. Way too much cringe for me.

Moral clarity from @govpritzker.illinois.gov .

is this not just kidnapping?

This is a good measurement of how most people experience inflation and should be talked about more often.

I feel like a pretty good rule of thumb is don't take drug advice from someone who can't pronounce the name of it.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.
