Property rights would kill the industry. Does that tell you what the industry is, finally??
The latest in a long line of terrible humans seeing if they can destroy people lives before asking if they should. If only sociopaths were seen as bad instead of rewarded.

Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just 🤷♂️
This man is barely even a formal government employee, let alone elected or Senate-confirmed. A total failure of the Constitutional order, just broadcast & normalized by every major media outlet.
Elon Musk is now presiding over the cabinet meeting. They're not beating the co-president allegations. (And co-president might be putting it charitably for Trump.)

Three things worth knowing about the current fiscal debate:
1. When they're talking about savings, the numbers are usually billions (though sometimes millions).
2. When they're talking about tax cuts, the numbers are usually trillions.
3. A trillion is a thousand times larger than a billion.

The government punishing a law firm for defending a client seems like the kind of tyranny we fought a revolution against.
NEW: President Trump moved Tuesday to punish a law firm for providing pro bono legal services to Jack Smith as he prepared to face a potential investigation from the Trump administration.
He is stripping security clearnces and govt funding from the firm. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

In a functioning democracy, a President who pardoned a mob that assaulted the Capitol while trying to overturn the election, and who then fired the prosecutors who put them behind bars, would be removed from power.

Old Guard Democrats on the hill need to get over their prejudice against digital media and content creators if they want to amplify their messages. Get on every podcast every day. Build audiences. Create a massive digital messaging network. Adapt or get left behind.

The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!
That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

Trump has made tens of billions of dollars from a fake social media company that has no revenue and a meme coin that is literally nothing, like actual nothing, like it has no use at all and doesn't actually exist on Earth in any way, and I think that's great!

Someone recently asked me what's the point of having two or three buttons on a tailored jacket if the bottom-most button isn't meant to be fastened? It's easier to understand style if you think of it in terms of social language, not purely as function. Let me give you some examples. 🧵

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.
