You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Because they represented Hillary Clinton at one time?
Yep, we live in the dumbest timeline possible.

So, the billionaire-appointed centimillionaire in charge of our Treasury wants all those “price of eggs” voters to know that it’s no big deal that everything is more expensive now because paying less for shit isn’t actually the “American Dream.”

No amount of letter writing has persuaded my lawmakers, but one thing has slowed them down:
Showing up in numbers that can’t be hidden or explained away. Marching in the streets. Testifying by the hundreds. Letting lawmakers know we see them and we know.

Former SSA Commissioner @martinomalley.bsky.social: It's interesting to me that the people that are going after waste, fraud, and abuse would do away first with the division, whose job it was to guard against improper payments, waste fraud and abuse... This is totally irresponsible.

“Thank you again. Thank you again,” he says to John Roberts. Then he awkwardly slaps him on the shoulder and says, “Won’t forget it.” The moment has an almost classic mob boss feel to it in context.

This is a new low even for DOGE and Elon Musk. Cutting 80k jobs at the VA, devastating support for our veterans - this is how Trump and Musk want to honor the sacrifices vets have made? This is how Trump and Musk are saying “thank you for your service”? apnews.com/article/vete...
Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo

I don’t have a specific suggestion yet. But my first reaction is that it should meet these criteria:
1. It should be somewhat subtle.
2. It should provoke him into apoplexy.
3. It should make people want to laugh at him.

Agree. He has an audience as well. His countrymen don’t want to see their President groveling before a Putin lackey. Their determination is grounded in their national pride. Zelensky powerfully vindicated that today. To see your President stand up to the two greatest powers in the world? Priceless.

Jeffries: Elon Musk has emerged as one of the most unpopular figures connected to the Trump Administration. Trump’s poll numbers are moving in the wrong direction, and it hasn’t even been a month.
The real question is: What is the corrupt bargain that has been struck between Trump and Elon Musk?
