I think this from @donmoyn.bsky.social is essential reading for the moment. I’d emphasize that the staggering process he describes doesn’t end with the assault on immigrants. It’s about creating an armed force loyal to nobody but Trump. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

If you are shocked by what the Trump regime is publicly stealing or crimes it is committing, imagine the magnitude of the crimes they are actually hiding.

I don’t think Trump believes he can be humiliated. If anyone says he was humiliated by Putin he’ll just fire or insult that person and say “No I wasn’t. That’s a stupid nasty thing to say and you’ll be sorry you said that,” like a 5 year old. Trump is incapable of feeling humiliated.

Does Lilttle Marco Rubio still post daily scripture on Twitter?

Imagine being a billionaire, in charge of one the most powerful, influential companies in the history of world, and prostrating yourself to Trump in this very public and embarrassing way. Sheesh.

So, when Trump supporters in California complain about disaster aid remember that their president and the speaker are playing games with the constituents of California. I think it's time California withhold the funds sent to Washington and they can replenish that which they haven't sent.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, the President of the United States even joking about revoking someone’s citizenship should be met with universal condemnation.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US. Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them? Or just the brown people?

This is an important fact, @nytimes.com @theatlantic.com @wsj.com

Oh is he starting with Mar-A-Lago?

Elon may be on his way out, but DOGE is still gutting countless government programs and services that millions of Americans rely on. Here are seven ways that DOGE is ruining your life. https://youtu.be/M5LD2CSOzmI?si=tyT84SUJ9sZlnjwo

They aren't soldiers. Only GOVERNMENTS have soldiers. They are MERCS.

Musk getting billions in taxpayer subsidies to try to (deadlines always a year out) maybe execute a mission NASA already did twenty two years ago.

A recent report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37B in potential legal liability from 11 fed agencies as of Inauguration Day. As he exits, these agencies are still on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped investigations into his corporations. See what this was about?

His team is still there working and reporting to him so he hasn’t left anything. It’s just optics to pretend he was leaving.

10 years for poisoning people for 20 years? It’s not mathing.

10 years? I mean really, not enough! He literally stole millions of dollars, but worse he injured so many people!

The US makes its military equipment in the US. ANY journalist in US who is focusing on Biden's cognitive issues (when he never made factually-moronic statements like this), and not Trump's ....

This should be bigger news, no? www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Opinon | We must welcome white South Africans with open arms. One of them could become the next Nazi-sympathizing libertarian billionaire who gets rich from government subsidies and then tries to kick people off of Medicaid.

thank you elon musk and donald trump for destroying this country’s ability to generate wealth for the future. we salute you. MAGA.

250 years ago, the American people made it clear that they weren’t going to be ruled by kings. On June 14, we’re taking to the streets in a nationwide day of defiance to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like.

And Congress as a whole just kept rubber-stamping the subsidies (corporate welfare). Just like they still do with other industries Big Oil.

the thing about the tates and trump and musk is that what they offer is the illusion of control and dominance and mastery. in truth, they are absolute slaves to their passions and their worst instincts, and they have paid for it in that they are literal degenerates

Exactly. Is anyone asking for quotes from the NRA?

Elon Musk Creates Federal Employee Revenge Porn Database

Good morning. DOGE is fake and not a real agency. Please quit pretending it’s real

"The fact that the U.S. federal government is squawking in one loud, highly irritating voice — in your name and mine, and doing so on our taxpayers’ dime — that it would like to obliterate the national sovereignty of our longtime friend and ally to the north is in and of itself a scandal."

Call me old fashioned, but I think any president creating a meme coin hustle to recruit anonymous financial backers and rewarding the biggest spenders with “a night to remember” private dinner with the president kinda feels like an impeachable offense.

If they were arresting judges in another country with an authoritarian-inclined (even if democratically elected) government, we'd be alarmed. We in the U.S. should be alarmed.

Tesla's quarterly profits are down 71% from a year ago. As Elon complains about "government waste," Tesla would have reportedly posted a Q1 loss this year if not for EV credits established under Biden. Hello?

House Rep. Gerry Connolly is pushing CDC leadership to explain why the personnel who handle FOIA requests lost their jobs, noting that that the public has a right to access federal records.

Under the current political regime, especially in Texas, where pregnant women are being left to bleed out on hospital parking lots with not-quite-dead-yet baby parts hanging out of them, a pregnancy could be the death of you, so…keep your freaking $5000. 😡

👇🏽🎯

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

“Senator Argall asked Mary, ‘Do you think we should allow pornographic magazines in Kindergarten classrooms?‘ ... ‘Mary looked confused and had to ask, ‘What does that mean?’ He explained to her, in front of the entire audience, that it meant ‘naked pictures of people in books and magazines.”

Trump is not "transactional." He is an extortionist. Once you give in to him, he'll keep coming back for more. That goes for international negotiations as well. The EU would do well to keep this in mind. Unilaterally pausing retaliatory tariffs to show good will only tells him that his tariffs work.

The Most Transparent Administration In History has stopped publishing regular official transcripts of speeches and press conferences. If you're in the media you can replace that (there are paid transcript services) but that's a lot of info that used to be easier to get.

Erik Prince visited Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele in August 2024 & gushed that he was “very impressed” with Bukele’s prison system. Bukele posted this clip from their meeting. 1/

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.
