Trump’s MAGA spell is broken. Even his base knows he is a lame duck By Matt K. Lewis www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Please watch this in its entirety Trump has installed dozens of men who follow this ideology into the highest levels of his administration, including Pete Hegseth, who leads the Department of Defense. This is the doctrine Republicans want all Americans to live by. 🧵

It should be obvious that Trump is cartoonishly evil. Why else would his regime deliberately destroy food that could save lives? Oh, by the way, fuck Elon Musk for even suggesting cuts like this!

Will be here as late as it takes to fight these cruel, misguided, and dangerous cuts to foreign aid.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

OK, this is how it's done.

“Like every modern autocrat, Trump is preoccupied with asserting authoritarian power to advance his illicit accumulation of wealth.” #kleptocracy @newrepublic.com @joeconason.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1961...

Wisconsin is import dependent, and disproportionately relies on imports from ... the EU! Thanks, Trump. #econsky econbrowser.com/archives/202...

This is a full-on piece of work that really dives into the nature of capitalism today and links it back to the ideas of Friedman. Slight typo @edzitron.com ('Capitalism & Freedom', not Friedman) but an incredible read with lots of powerful examples of the incompetence of those at the top. #EconSky

Tonight’s bill is part of the regressive movement’s strategy to cull the population & subjugate the survivors. A few weeks ago Yarvin complained that Trump & MAGA were not acting quickly enough, tonight was a blitzkrieg of inhumanity. We need to practice resistance and act faster through stigmergy.

This is FOUL. What's next? Does the U.S. pay reparations to every descendent of a Confederate soldier who died in the Civil War? It is the same premise.

This piece from @jvl.bsky.social is one of the most important insightful I have read since January 20th 2025.

I consulted with several yacht biologists and apparently yachts just do this some times, it may look sad but it's a natural part of their life cycle

NEW: Google used to warn you when you were seeing low-quality search results. Then, in the weeks leading up to the 2024 election, the company quietly turned that warning off www.platformer.news/google-data-...

I've met with many cabinet nominees across many admins, and my meeting with RFK Jr. was by far the most troubling. He rattled off debunked conspiracy theories & lied to my face—denying his own statements he'd made on record. We cannot confirm an anti-vaxxer as Secretary of Health.

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.
