I'm so glad that Merrick Garland did fuck all with his four years, because he didn't want DOJ to appear political.

Effort well spent, clearly.
Democratic politicians facing frivolous criminal investigations from Trump:

Kat Abughazaleh
Elissa Slotkin
Jason Crow
Tim Walz
Jacob Frey
Letitia James
Lisa Cook
Mark Kelly
Eric Swalwell
Adam Schiff
Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

The U.S. Department of Education announced a slew of Title IX-related investigations this week that include 2 school districts in Maine.

@kflogan1875.bsky.social @kristiwinters.bsky.social - When do we get to scream at Cenk about his asinine insistence that Republicans would stop a war crazed Trump because they loath war?

Massive shout out to the useless leadership at Microsoft, specially the Office division, who in 30 years, litterally my entire life, haven't bothered to allow text or actual values in a PivotTable.

Like basic shit, and it's just not there.

What the fuck?

Columbus Blue Jackets fired the head coach and assistant head coach.

I'd say we should fire the defense coach, but I watch the games. Clearly we don't have one to fire.

Want to just shout out Ford's stupid MyKey system, which is now my headache at the hardware store after I cut a key fitted with it and now have to workout if I can disable the damned thing.

Also massive thanks to the shithead dealership for not deactivating it on that truck.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

Massive shout out to the folks who did our transition to a new map software at work last year.

Because renaming fucking everything in our data has been super great and helpful and not a massive waste of our time and totally unnecessary.

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

He was fucking ambassador to Japan, and somehow kept fucking it up.

Like the easiest ambassadorship possible, and he couldn't manage to not fuck up all the time.

And we, the people who he needs to convince to vote for him, all fuckin' hate him.
doing the "i am inevitable" schtick is really pretty funny when you left your last actually elected job polling in the low 20's
Rahm Emanuel is coming — whether Democrats like it or not.
