Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO?

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

RFK Jr. says he was not aware that his department cut funding for adolescent diabetes research, infectious disease, mental health, and childhood vaccinations. How does the HHS Secretary have no idea what’s going on in his own department?

The Daily Show uploaded a video showing Fox News attacking Obama for golfing, but replaced him with Trump. Epic!

Today, we’re celebrating trans communities’ vibrancy and perseverance in the face of attacks on their very existence -- and fighting for a future when all our trans and nonbinary siblings can safely live authentically and freely.

No hateful law or executive order can erase your identity.

The question I've been asked most as we endure the legal dumpster fire that is the Trump Administration is, "What can we do about it when it's not election season?" @timothynoah.bsky.social has an outstanding essay in the @newrepublic.com addressing that question. newrepublic.com/article/1931...

In Oversight today, my colleagues stuck to their usual script: blaming immigrants for all crime & claiming Dem mayors are too soft. Well, I was curious to know if they’ve ever had an immigrant with a criminal record that they could recall. Tune in!

Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?!

Are you fucking kidding me?!?

We Are Not Who They Think We Are: How Human Nature Matters In This Emergency Rebecca Solnit 04 Feb 2025 — 10 min read Welcome to the emergency--or rather Meditations in an Emergency, this newsletter, not the national emergency, which is of course very unwelcome. What's striking to me about all the things our morally and imaginatively impoverished billionaires, notably Musk and Trump, right now is: they do not expect or imagine or understand consequences. Any of them– their theory of change seems to be that they are going to do stuff and then it will be done. Like they're moving furniture around, like you and I and the trans and immigrant communities and federal workers and Canada and Mexico are just so many sofas and chairs that are going to sit where they place us. Like we're inanimate objects. Maybe everything is dead in the sad lonely worldview inside their head. Which would also explain their recalcitrance about climate and nature: if you see it as a collection of inert objects rather than an intricate living system in which what you do to any one part may affect the whole, you grant yourself more license to meddle. But today I'm here to talk about the human--and human nature, and how they misunderstand that too.

Al Gore pitched a sovereign wealth fund once, but he called it a “lockbox.”

And it existed bc they’d taxed the wealthy a tiny bit, balanced the budget and had a surplus.

And he only wanted the fund to protect Social Security for Americans who weren’t millionaires.

So the GOP mocked it.

A group of uncleared, unvetted, civilians have gained access to all of my federal records including military personnel, retirement and disability. They are reportedly feeding them into AI. I want them arrested and charged with federal crimes.

Right fucking now!

How is this even a discussion?
