This is a test that the press obviously fail miserably.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

USAID was founded by John F. Kennedy in 1961. The Kremlin has wanted to destroy it ever since then. So if you're seeing or repeating anti-USAID talking points -- remember that you're consuming or spreading propaganda from Moscow.

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

“I coached football long enough to know that, when somebody draws up a playbook, they plan on using it.” @governorwalz.mn.gov We told you. We told you. We told you.

Feel deep in my bones that the backlash to all of this is going to be enormous. Not sure how it will manifest and when it will explode into view, but confident it’s coming.

Racists got tired of not being allowed to say the "n" word, so they decided to replace it with the weaponized term DEI. Prove me wrong.

A tale of Elon and his apologists: Elon lets Nazis back on his platform - "he's defending free speech" He regularly amplifies supremacist ideologies, memes and conspiracy theories - "he's doing it for engagement" He does the Nazi salute (twice) - "he has autism-ish" Elon is a Nazi. The End.

You are here:

Everything that Trump said and did today -- all of it -- was entirely predictable based on his campaign, character, and first term in office. If you're surprised, you were either misinformed or not informed enough. We deserve everything that's about to come our way. Buckle up.

So the first-ever convicted felon president just pardoned 1500 of his felon co-conspirators, after we kept saying over and over that maybe it wasn't a good idea to elect a felon as president and that maybe we should imprison the felon when we had the chance? Got it.

The Senate confirmed Marco Rubio as Secretary of State by a vote of 99-0. Democrats offer an endless supply of goodwill to Republicans that will never be reciprocated.

PUNDITS: Dems have to ditch norms and think outside the box! ALSO PUNDITS: I don’t like preemptive pardons because norms!

Is it fine to call everyone who voted for this president racist, bigoted fuckwads, or are people still trying to pretend this had something to do with groceries??

Vivek Ramaswamy is in the Witness Protection Program from MAGA. Only Musk & Trump can openly call for immigrants to take high-paying American jobs & get away with it. Vivek doesn’t have the right skin color to pull that off without having to go into an extended period in hiding.

So, the MAGAincels who went from being experts on infectious diseases to experts on vaccines, military withdrawals, presidential immunity, firearm forms, voting rights, libel law and interoceanic waterways are now experts on wildfire management? Do I have that just about right?

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

Donald Trump does not care.

Why is the media like this?

Mel Gibson and Joe Rogan are telling people that Ivermectin cures stage 4 cancer. My mother is an NP who has spent her career working in oncology, and these lies will literally kill people.

Trump: married to an immigrant Vance: married to an immigrant Musk: an illegal immigrant Fetterman: married to an illegal immigrant It’s amazing how many of the men pushing xenophobic immigration policies championed by white nationalists are themselves deeply compromised

Today's funeral for President Jimmy Carter is one of the nicest I've seen in a long time. The speeches were just right, and paid proper tribute to one of the greatest human beings America has ever produced. Farewell, President Carter. Thank you for your service. 🙏🇺🇸

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

The problems at WaPo are twofold. First, new publisher Will Lewis is in an untenable position. His first major act as publisher was to mislead (lie?) to the public about the process of the Kamala Harris editorial getting spiked.

It is important for all Americans to understand that Donald Trump has no intention of leaving office after taking it on January 20. None. Do I think he has a plan in mind already? Probably not. But is he taking his Oath of Office as a man who expects American democracy to continue? No, he is not.

JIGSAW 😂😆 I am dead

A puma in Montana and a mountain lion in Washington state tested positive for H5N1 bird flu, according to WAHIS.

This is good. Or more to the point "You didn't bring rape charges against Gaetz as Florida AG and maybe you didn't have enough evidence, but now we have a full dossier with testimonies under oath. Would you proceed with charges as US AG if confirmed?"

One of the greatest HBO miniseries ever!

rewatching chernobyl because i guess i didn’t want to sleep tonight

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Congrats Trump voters. You elected a serial sexual predator who brags about grabbing women by the pussy & surrounds himself with rapists, sex traffickers & pedophiles, but at least you’re “protecting” your daughter from the nonexistent trans boy on her middle school basketball team.

This is who he is and has always been. I don't know why it's been so hard to explain to Americans that this man doesn't care if anyone lives or dies. There's not a charitable or caring bone in his body. He would let millions die for a minor profit. He's a sociopath. Anyone paying attention sees it.

Rep Gerry Connolly discusses his defeat of AOC to become the ranking member on Oversight. I agree he has a wealth of experience, but AOC has him beat in the messaging game—and that’s what the party needs more at this moment. The fact that they don’t get that is the real problem. Watch and decide.

I would be surprised if the government didn't shut down. It's the only way to find out what services people didn't know they were missing. Those are the ones Elon will say " see, no one noticed you were closed. Goodbye "

Elected Dems want an alternate media ecosystem. OK, my question to each of you is - How many podcast interviews did you do in the last 30 days with people who weren’t also network TV hosts? If you answered less than 5, then my friends, you are exactly part of the problem.

Good morning to three of the greatest America has ever seen!

The Republicans are very soon going to end up in the "FO" stage of their FAFO relationship with Elon Musk, this being the point at which they realize how brutally stupid and shockingly unsophisticated he is when handed any power whatsoever, and also how little he understands about basically anything

Man, I’ll tell you something. If Garland refuses to release the Jack Smith report based on that OLC memo about prosecuting sitting presidents, I’ll be on the fuck Garland train with all y’all. Promise.

I am sick to my stomach at the sheer jubilation over on Twitter right now that Daniel Penny got away with murdering Jordan Neely, an unhoused Black man with mental issues. It's disgusting.
