Elon Musk's epic flameout came to a head this week amid DOGE's failure, GOP mockery, and confirmation from Musk himself that he won't be spending as much money—or time—on politics. The schadenfreude is real! For this and more Trump fails, look no further.

There’s no denying it anymore: the pro-democracy movement is finally back on offense.

Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster.

MAGA is imploding under the weight of its own lies, grifts, and failures.

They’re not strong—they’re desperate. They’re flailing. And they know it.

This validates my belief that the vast majority of Americans do not understand how many federal programs they rely upon in their daily lives. They literally do not put 2+2 together. They think the money comes from some magical virtue spigot.
Here’s the thing. Every one of these people in tears heard Trump on the stump before Nov. They knew he was cruel. But they were fine with it, thinking he’d only hurt the people they didn’t like. The problem with cruelty—It spreads. You don’t get to control it. Sooner or later, it comes for you too.

"Negative selection" in authoritarian regimes refers to the deliberate promotion of incompetent, loyal individuals over competent, independent-minded ones. This ensures absolute loyalty to the leader, suppresses dissent, & consolidates power.

The Teamsters have endorsed Democrats for president since '96. And despite the Dems saving pensions and retirement benefits for 2 million Americans, the Teamsters didn't endorse a candidate this cycle. Now, within a week of taking office, Trump gutted the NLRB. Is this what Sean O'Brien had in mind?
