If Trump ever sees the inside of a jail cell, I hope it has a tiny window that overlooks windmills.

This is worth watching.

lol at people blaming the pilots for the current air travel safety issues. The average person has no idea how much of the world that they just take easy advantage of is made up of incredibly complicated systems that our government is just lighting on fire. Pilots aren't gods. They rely on ATC.

at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Via Sam Stein on twitter

More people protested today than went to the president’s fascist parade. It’s incredibly important to remember that

I'm sorry, as much as I am enjoying this spat, how can you take seriously someone who spent 100s of millions of dollars electing Trump, then went to work for Trump, left government just days ago praising Trump, and is now calling for Trump's impeachment. Just unserious people.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

“Well, we’re doing a shitty job running it, so it must not be that great”has basically been the Republican m.o. for the last forty years.

Nobody in this residents group ever thanked me for the helpful information I provided in this thread :(

This MS-13 tattoo thing is Trump in a microcosm, and worth some serious journalistic scrutiny. He is so terribly, insistently wrong. Is he that stupid? DId his staff deceive him? Was no one willing to tell him the truth? All of the above?

See if I were a Democrat I'd be printing out talking points now accusing Trump and Bezos of colluding to hide the costs of his tariffs. Call them Trump's "hidden fees" "sticker shock" a "Bezos bailout"

reagan/bush judges: "this administration's shocking arguments would reduce the rule of law to lawlenssness" neocons: abolish ICE david brooks: communist manifesto Dem leadership, top liberal consultants/pundits: the latest NYT/Ipsos has Trump up +4 on immigration, +9 with noncollege men

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

the president of the united states thinks that trade deficits and budget deficits are the literally same thing and therefore tariffs generate free money by making other countries pay you. how is that not mocked and derided *constantly* by everyone, all the time?

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

When Trump evaded questions about the latest stupidity from his crew with, “I don’t know about that?” Do reporters ever follow up with, “Isn’t it your job to know?”

The next time the NOTAM system goes down? Elon Musk & Trump did that. The next time an ATC facility loses its radio frequencies? Elon Musk & Trump did that. The next time an any critical ATC airport infrastructure goes down? Elon Musk & Trump did that. Elon Musk & Trump are breaking the FAA.

Garcia: "I find it ironic that our chairman, Rep. Greene, is in charge of running this committee. In the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our Oversight hearing, so I thought I'd bring one as well. This, of course, is President Elon Musk ... "

Dogs know.

Thank you to everyone who stands with USAID. Share far and wide. Unfortunately we don’t have $40 million to buy up ads during the Super Bowl. Even if we did, we’d use it to support the U.S. economy while feeding kids around the globe. #StandWithUSAID #SaveForeignAid m.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze. I worked at an organization that -helped veterans who have lost a limb -Assisted elderly and disabled people -Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?

On behalf of the entire aviation industry, let me be the first to say "fuck this guy"

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

"[A] democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - FDR (1938)

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Hey @espn.com , why is there a politician speaking on your channel right now? I’m trying to watch a college football game

ATTN: THREAD: The loyalty interviews have begun in DC. As someone who has direct experience with this, I have a couple of recommendations for all federal workers. Please share this widely, and with any federal government employee you know. 1/

Things must be bad at ESPN if they are playing the pogo championships at 8 PM

republicans immediately blamed the fire on democratic environmental policy and leadership. democrats have not said anything about the fire's connection to years of gop climate denialism. this is kind of a fundamental difference to how both sides approach politics.

About time the Dems toughen up. More of this, please!! www.axios.com/2025/01/08/s...

We need to normalise, in media, on socials and in face to face conversations, saying 'This is a stupid conversation and I'm not going to continue it.'

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ? So we moved 😇 over here to BlueSky If you could, please help us regain our following Follow Retweet and Repeat ;-) Together we can change the world.

In the 1940s there was a 90% tax bracket at a certain level to ensure America would not become an oligarchy. It was only abolished about 60 years ago. Time to reconsider.

trump will be the next reagan in the sense that in 30 years every time you notice some horrible defect in society you'll do some quick research and trace it back to trump
