“The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one,” he told the Financial Times. “I’d love for him to go in and meet the children that have now been infected with HIV because he cut that money,” Gates said of Musk.

Dear god let this man cook.

"Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to launch a program providing free legal resources to police officers accused of wrongdoing, while also ordering his administration to increase the supply of 'excess military and national security assets' to local law enforcement."

"Marisa said the agents tore apart every square inch of the house and what few belongings they had, seizing their phones, laptops and their life savings in cash as 'evidence'."

You’d think when you’re claiming the richest country in the world can’t afford childhood cancer research you might wait a year before throwing yourself a 100 million dollar birthday parade. But carpe diem, suckers.

Reckless cruelty isn’t strength. Capitulation isn’t courage. Cultish allegiance isn’t patriotism. We used to know the difference.

we are maybe two weeks from jesse watters declaring that it’s gay for men to have sex with women

I will pay a journalist $100 if they manage to get an answer from Trump on whether there's a danger in his levying further tariffs on Wakanda if they don't begin fairly trading vibranium with the US.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

So true bestie.

Thank you, Wisconsin!

Wisconsin cannot be bought. Our democracy is not for sale. And when we fight, we win. Congratulations, @crawfordforwi.bsky.social!

Something good happened. I forgot what this feels like.

Breaking: NBC News projects: Jill Underly wins Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction.   Underly is the Democratic-backed candidate.

cheese is woke now

Crawford: Today, Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections, and our Supreme Court.. Wisconsin stood up and said that justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

As a Wisconsinite, I hope Musk knows that we weren't just voting for her, we were voting for him to fuck off.

This is Bambi. She loves flowers. Because just like her, they bring immense joy into the world while remaining impressively close to the ground. 12/10

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.

Pete Hegseth Calls For Steep Cuts To Number Of Steps In AA Recovery

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence. Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

Heads up.

*gazes wistfully out a window*

"The Republican Party is now openly buying votes, facing absolutely no consequences for violently attacking cops when they don’t like an election result, and disappearing people who say things they don’t like."

New in PN: John Roberts created a monster. It's about to eat him. "After all, how can the rightwing justices expect a future president — particularly a Democratic one — to accept rulings limiting the exercise of their power from a Court that served as the judicial stooge of an aspiring dictator?"

Elon Musk Protest. Green Bay. Wi. Protesters lined up down both sides of the street. 32 degrees and raining. Don't let Elon buy Wisconsin.

Way to go, Green Bay, WI! Amazing turnout! 💚

"The truth only survives if we decide it matters enough to remember. And maybe that’s the only choice left to make. What happens next depends on what we choose to do with it. Right now, we still have a choice." - Viktor Kravchuk 🇺🇦

These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp. As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.

"The national security chat debacle certainly merits attention. But the Trump administration is now blatantly disappearing students and others who are in the country legally."
