Today, we wasted time voting on renaming the Gulf of Mexico—a name it’s had for almost 500 YEARS. We’ve got folks losing healthcare, schools underfunded, and rights under attack. We’ve got real issues. Prioritize THAT.
The House has passed a Republican-led bill that would rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, moving a step closer to codifying President Donald Trump’s push to rename the body of water.

He’s going to be fired because he outed the fact that Musk arranged with Hegseth to get a top secret briefing at the Pentagon. Trump and his Chief of Staff didn’t even know about it. As usual, in Trump World, the person who does the right thing is the one who is punished.

why the replacement of traditional media with social media as the main channel people learn about things is so bad: on complicated but important shit like this, there’s at least potential for elites with skin in the game to communicate via trad media to the public that this is real fuckin’ bad
I mean I think the obvious answer is that no, Americans have no idea what this means for their lives
the "oh shit what have we done" turn we're all hoping for is simply not going to happen until the material ramifications become clear
we are going to have to touch the stove

Really strange watching the American government become hostile to Canada, western Europe, and Mexico in order to cozy up to the dictatorships of eastern Europe.
Do Americans even know this is happening? Do they have any idea what this means for their lives?

Federal employees were fired for spending appropriated funds as Congress had directed.
Musk's theory is that Executive Orders trump statute, and that the President decides spending. Both are 100% wrong and unconstitutional.
But it gets worse...

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion
Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion
Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on.

Important to emphasize that this is projection. It is the radical right that has been committing violence in the U.S., not those who support liberal democracy.
