JUST IN: The 1st Circuit Court of appeals has *denied* the Trump administration's emergency motion to block a court order that ordered agencies to lift their spending freeze.

For Elon Musk, $250 million is the equivalent of $26.21 for someone who makes $50k a year in salary.

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

WATCH: Sherrilyn Ifill calls on leaders in the Democratic Party “to array themselves as the protectors of the American people” in the face of Trump’s threats.

Since GOP super power is repeatedly bringing up old shit—How’s that 401(k) working out for everyone? Is it better than the security of the company paid pension you had before Reagan stole it from you? Didnt think so. Next on their agenda: Eliminate Social Security. We can’t let this happen!!

What the hell are we even doing? Normalizing & green-lighting another psychotic madman. That’s what we’re doing. It’s f’ing insane.

Getting a little tired of potential Trump appointees communicating threatening messages to the American people.

We Need New Democratic Leadership: Who Will Step Up? The establishment leadership of the Democratic Party is disconnected not only from the majority but also from their base. In the age of Trump's right-wing authoritarianism, who will step up? thelefthook.substack.com/p/we-need-ne...

I remember during Trump’s first reign, I used to dread Friday nights because of his late Friday news dumps, as if the lateness of the hour would dull the shock.

Smh. 🤨

North Carolina! Someone analyze their results! Trump win by 182k but ~ 342k switch bullet ballots so Kamala may have won this state by a good margin! Does someone have the time to plot the county by county differences for president and the down ticket AG brown Jackson and Bishop race!

Today's tasks: Thanks to SweepNJ for the graphic.

On MJ: If you don't appreciate the audience you have, betray that audience and lose their trust you are ging to lose lots of them. i have seen this movie.

Please consider not watching (or appearing on) Morning Joe ever again. Easy decision for me since I never liked it anyway. Sucking up to a psychopath should be a deal breaker.

The cyber security and tech experts are saying that it’s large numbers of bullet ballots ie just for Trump in: AZ (up to 7.2% of votes), NV (up to 5.5% of votes) NC (up to 11% of votes). The same pattern of large numbers of bullet ballots are for MI, PA and WI. Hence asking for hand recount.

Unfollowing all accounts who follow back less than 5-10% of their followers.

I’m souring on social media the same way I soured on cable news. Huge news “democracy” accounts (all about the # of followers) migrating from X are really no different than news pundits on cable tv chasing ratings. Where are the genuine every day kind of of people? Follow them. Support them.

The large accounts with 100k+ followers on X that followed back a few hundred are doing the same thing here on BS. Don’t fall for their “I’ll follow you back” shtick. Ain’t happening. They are more about the number of followers than democracy.

@tristansnell.bsky.social said on X he would follow everyone back that followed him on Blue Sky. I knew that was a lie because I had already followed him with no follow back. Only 3k follow backs with over 89k followers. Different platform, same old 💩

Stands by their words. This is the way.

Do people realize that this is a public acknowledgment by Israel that it illegally interfered in the 2024 presidential election by taking into account which actions would or would not—and when—benefit the Trump campaign? And that it did this as Trump and Netanyahu were having regular private calls?

Hi everyone. The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars. We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off. I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

Lisianthus, my favorite flower to grow. #nature #flowers #lisianthus

No, I think he should instead be holding press conferences each day explaining what it means to be an American. What a president can and can't do. What our rights are. Etc.

Gavin Newsom is going to be meeting with Democrats in Washington D.C. today. At least someone is stepping up to try to give them some guidance.

So the brain worm serial cheater who decapitated a whale & dumped a dead bear is gonna be in charge of our nation’s health and the chick who shot her dog and her goat and lied about meeting with Kim Jong Un is gonna be in charge of our homeland security. We are living on the inside of The Onion.

I can’t shake the feeling that Biden and democratic leadership failing to question the validity of the election is like feeding the country to the wolves.

I’ve gotten a lot of abuse for criticizing the speed of Merrick Garland. Now we know the consequences of failing to hold him accountable for inciting a deadly insurrection and more. What a tragic failure.
