Musk and Trump know what they are doing is not an audit. They know that an audit is meticulous work done by trained professionals. The media needs to stop pretending that any of the "unforeseen consequences" of their recklessness aren't the direct intent. The purpose of a system is what it does.

I drew a Numberblock for Alex and now it is literally all he wants me to do. Toddlers are hilarious, you can be absolutely trash at something (me and drawing) but in their eyes you are a goddamn wizard.

Under normal circumstances dropping the charges against Mayor Adams would be a scandal that would rock our political landscape not “a thing that happened on Tuesday”

The pictures of Trump sitting in the Oval Office next to Musk and seeing him look so old, weak, and out of it, is really underscoring how ridiculous it was that anyone thought Trump’s age compared to Biden was a selling point. Trump was not in charge in that room or of our country.

Bill Cassidy caving and voting for RFK Jr. despite knowing exactly who he is should be seen as a clear indication that no Trump appointee will face any serious challenge by the Rs. There is no compromise with people who would put that man in charge of anything, let alone public health.

My creative brain is completely burned out so I’m trying to draw something every day. Not like something good, but trying to recover some of my basic skills. I’m a few days in and I have no idea if it’s helping but it feels like it might be.

The administration has already begun actively killing people and they're just getting started. We will count this administration's casualties in megadeaths and EVERYONE WHO KNOWS SHIT ABOUT SHIT HAS BEEN SAYING IT. I'd say we deserve it but it's going to be the whole world that will suffer.

It is easier to break things than it is to fix things, you don't even need a good plan, your plan doesn't even need to work. You can throw a billion incompetent executive orders at the courts and they can knock every one of them down, and you'll still have undermined Democracy with the threat.

We need to be perfectly clear about what this is: This is a tactic to eliminate privatized programs and services. Programs receiving grants that do not have reserve capital to survive an extended freeze will collapse. The cruelty is always the point.

Brief update: No real update. We're still not back home. I think they just turned our gas on, but my father-in-law is still working on getting professional cleaners. No particular damage to the house but it's smokey. So we're still in Limbo aka Orange County for at least a bit longer.
