The US has lost its last triple-A credit rating. Moody’s Ratings downgraded the US government on Friday, citing large fiscal deficits and rising interest costs.
It's almost like - almost - if a guy who could single-handedly bankrupt casinos had taken over the government.

There is a Republican war against women & democracy itself.
The House just passed the #SAVEAct that makes those who changed their name when they married purchase a $165 passport.
MAGA doesn't care that people don't have an extra $165 lying around to get a passport.
They don't want women to vote.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?
Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.

![3. Ridicule: Thankfully, we have yet another option. In the face of the overwhelming terror, this is something we’ve seen less of. There have been ads mocking Musk: “Tesla: Now with white power steering” or “Tesla: goes from 0 to 1939 in 3 seconds — the swasticar.” There’s the hack into government offices with an AI video of Trump kissing Musk’s feet. Or the TikTokers “hunting” Tesla’s with anti-Musk messages (“The most recalled truck in 2024”).
But there’s so much more ridicule that can be done. I’m raising options here hoping we can open this box more. It’s important because folks are going to tune out if nearly all of our moves are decry, decry, decry.
Humor is important for our psyches — and to take fascists down a notch. Beautiful Trouble reports on the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army — trained by professional clowns — who “filled their pockets with so much strange junk that it took hours and lots of paperwork when stop-and-searches occurred. A favorite tactic was to walk into army recruitment agencies and, in a clownish way, try to join up, thus causing so much chaos that the agencies had to close down for the day, and then [the clowns] would set up their own shabby recruitment stall outside.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kjiakoy625524iwzmhtycqih/bafkreiddsiqvmzgej54bzopksb6ikpughl4vxs37jpjnylxeqkfexzwd2e@jpeg)
