I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

One GOP proposal takes aim squarely at parents raising children on their own by eliminating the “head of household” filing status to reap some $200B more in taxes over a decade from single parents and other adults caring for dependents on their own.

Tiny coffins. THOUSANDS of children dying of measles in the Congo. Thats what happens without vaccines. It is insane to put vaccine conspiracy theorist RFK Jr in charge of public health in the United States. It is downright deranged to do that. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/h...
Tiny Coffins: Measles Is Killing Thousands of Children in Congo

It’s funny when a centibillionaire donates 1m to the inauguration. It’s like the median American donating a couple dollars. It means nothing to the centibillionaire. But it impresses Trump, who is a fake rich person.

Spent the day talking to Europeans, and nobody can think of any precedent for what Musk just did to the US Congress. There is no businessman with that much power, the power to stop a routine spending bill, anywhere else in the democratic world.

That's what's so exciting about being the world's richest man (and the country that will tolerate him doing an unelected takeover)

To start with, we must make "crypto" synonymous with "scam."
The very word must make people reach for their wallets (to make sure they're still there).
How you can help: Every day, post at least negative story about #CryptoScam
Crypto is still rather small. Most people don't trust it.

When I (perhaps inexplicably) went on HBO in 2019 to talk to Bill Maher, the focus of my one-on-one interview was on how Trump-era scandals occur in plain view and—paradoxically—for that reason are not believed.
The WSJ reports years of secret Putin-Musk calls.
Then Musk bought Trump a presidency.

And they know now—we all do—that the answer is nothing.
In 2023 we learned that law enforcement will do nothing; in 2024 we learned that American voters will do nothing; and in 2025 we'll maybe learn that the nations of the world will do nothing. So we can't be surprised when evil men break eviler.
