Friendly reminder that Joann Fabrics isn’t closing because it’s a bad business. It’s closing bc it was bought by a private equity firm. This is also what is happening to Hooters and what happened to US Toys R Us and Red Lobster. These companies are being dismantled intentionally.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.
100% of his salary is paid by WA state.
Elon fired him. Share his story.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.
Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

I am extremely freaking thrilled to announce that Bad Company is *officially* available for preorder wherever you buy books. (I am linking to Bookshop but buy it wherever!) I worked so, so hard on this book, and it would mean a ton to me if you ordered it. bookshop.org/a/109816/978...

A fake billionaire is letting a fake genius destroy America because a bunch of fake patriots are too stupid, too entitled and too hateful to understand the difference between what is fake news and what is fact.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

It's a grift. It's all a money grab. Deportation. Tariffs. Labor stuff. All of it. The whole presidency will be open season for grifters. Hopefully they scam each other.

Abandoned X. My dog, Dallas, and I are hoping to find a new home here. We love cats, unions, good food, nice wine, facepalms about this Dumb New World, and the fascists that run it, all dogs but especially Tripods like Dallas. Let's hope we can make this space good.
