"farmers are apoplectic. In Ohio, they’re stressed about USAID contracts and USDA cost-sharing investments. They held up their end. The government made promises. Now their family farms and livelihoods are on the line. Billions of dollars are at stake. It’s all being held hostage by Musk and Trump."
Editor Commentary: Who does this to other people? To doctors, nurses, farmers, teachers, professors, scientists, veterans, working families, people with disabilities, children with special needs, poor people? What twisted, unnatural men.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.
TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?
JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here
TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?
JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law

I’m starting to think the USA we saw in movies was all just pretend.
As a Canadian, I heard about how America's 'checks and balances' protect them from tyranny since I was a child.
We learned from US TV that Americans would fight tooth and nail to preserve their democracy and their constitution.
So it's weird to watch them just roll over to a pair of con-men.

It is definitely true and correct that the orders to make an Auschwitz-at-Gitmo will be illegal under domestic law

Louder this time for the Elon Musk stans at the back. Open your eyes.
Musk joins German far right's opening rally remotely, instructs Germans to stop feeling guilty and reminds them how impressed Caesar had been with German tribes' ability to fight.

People who laugh at a Tesla exploding are showing their ignorance of automotive engineering. This is a normal part of the development process, and the data gathered from the explosion will help Tesla to one day build a car that doesn’t explode

Meta's great new idea, now that Facebook and Instagram are infected with AI slop, is to also let AI-generated characters made by users appear as actual accounts on the platforms. The last stage of "social" media is millions of bots giving each other thumbs-up reacts.
