Economic Suicide by Dipshittery

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Germans who turned a blind eye to Hitler's fascism and atrocities came to be called "Good Germans." I don't ever want to be known as a "Good American." I want to be known as an American who did good by standing up to fascism and atrocities.

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc

They will never be forgotten Donald, no matter how hard you try.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

No leader should by his decision create so much disunity and anger in his own party. That alone is political malpractice.

This is the gold standard measure of atmospheric carbon, the one you see in almost every chart that tracks emissions.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Let’s face it, Schumer has been terrible even before this. It is time for new leadership. He isn’t the person for this moment in history, and the longer he clings to power the worse off we all are.

What’s to stop the Trump regime from arresting American citizens who support any cause the regime doesn’t like? Where, may I ask, are the “First Amendment absolutists” these days? Where are all the Republicans who for years have accused liberals of “cancelling” their views?

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— oh.

Mass firings, shutting down critical services, blowing up our alliances, crashing the markets, encouraging inflation... These aren't the actions of a political party aspiring to get reelected. These are the actions of an authoritarian regime that does not intend to honor elections ever again.

This is how it’s done.

Trump accuses federal workers of “playing golf.” He spent the last three weekdays golfing.

If you were wondering if there is a word to describe how the United States is currently being governed, why, yes, there is: kakistocracy!

Just now picking up my daughter’s Claudia’s Corgi, Gracie, from her spaying procedure from Friendship Animal Hospital in northwest DC. It turns out they are doing something amazing for people victimized by the insane government purges 👉

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Kendrick Lamar managed to piss off all the right people. Well done.

The six-day event will bring together thousands of transplant recipients, living donors and donor families to bring awareness to organ donation.

WHERE THE FUCK IS DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP???

Musk has as much legal authority to shut down USAID as I do to shut down Tesla, which is to say: none.

Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

If you made this argument back in the day you were smugly dismissed as an economically illiterate lefty. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Brilliant.

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

It all feels like a family with a genuinely abusive family member choosing to just carry on with the holiday traditions, hoping to create normalcy through sheer will and denial.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.
