Just here to read for the time being. Dealing with the shock, sort of. Blue dot in a sea of Florida red tide.

Good ole American exceptionalism... The only country in the world where land actually does vote. 🤦🏻‍♀️

This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American."

It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

This, to me, is without a doubt the best analysis of the Democratic party over the last ten years:

We did NOT elect Elon Musk. STOP the coup now. Do your job or resign
Text SIGN PIHEBN to 50409 — Elon Musk was never on the ballot. Neither was project 2025. Time for you to stop Musk. We the people did not vote for Elon Musk. We did not vote for the constitution to be suspended. The illegality and chaos caused by Musk's illegal digital terrorist rampage through federal agencies and their computer systems and data is causing chaos and now even deaths. The cabinet staff nominated by Trump have shown utmost contempt for human decency, safety, well-being, for the law itself and our rights. I am beyond shocked by the failure of house and senate GOP to hold these wreckers to account. Are you pleased with the sudden spate of air crashes? Are you proud of Hegseth's disgraceful conduct in Munich? What do you think of Vance's embrace of the German modern version of the Nazi party? What about the illegal impounding of federal funds that neutered Congress? The firing of nuclear experts and technicians? None of this is to curb waste or corruption. The corruption is Elon Musk evading corruption investigations and getting a contract to sell his vehicles to the government. If you are one of the brave and principled electeds who has spoken up for the constitution, i thank you. Please now bring criminal referrals of Musk and his team and Russell Vought to the appropriate authorities Do an air safety investigation Subpoena Russell Vought. Impeach him too. If you are betraying your solemn oath to the constitution, please resign now. Remember the name for a person who went along with Hitler, even if they did not agree with everything? A Nazi. Yes a Nazi. Stop presiding over the live dismemberment of our constitution and federal agencies. Do your job. Keep your oath.

Wow. Pretzel logic in action.
Comer: "That's not something Congress wants to do. That's a unilateral decision some unelected bureaucrat made & these bureaucrats think this is their money. They think this is their agency. And it doesn't matter if it's FEMA ... "

(He's somehow not talking about Musk and DOGE)

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
