It's not an elaborate theory, they're just trying to break things in order to grab up power and wealth in the chaos. It's a dumb plan by dumb people who think they're clever. Remember, con artists typically rate themselves as smarter than average but actually are the opposite.

Musk and Trump know what they are doing is not an audit. They know that an audit is meticulous work done by trained professionals. The media needs to stop pretending that any of the "unforeseen consequences" of their recklessness aren't the direct intent. The purpose of a system is what it does.

I drew a Numberblock for Alex and now it is literally all he wants me to do. Toddlers are hilarious, you can be absolutely trash at something (me and drawing) but in their eyes you are a goddamn wizard.

Under normal circumstances dropping the charges against Mayor Adams would be a scandal that would rock our political landscape not “a thing that happened on Tuesday”

I don't need to be rich I just want to have enough cash to buy my friends stupid gifts every now and then.

The pictures of Trump sitting in the Oval Office next to Musk and seeing him look so old, weak, and out of it, is really underscoring how ridiculous it was that anyone thought Trump’s age compared to Biden was a selling point. Trump was not in charge in that room or of our country.

Everyone in Altadena and other fire-affected areas needs to know about this ASAP. Please share this.

Trump suggests US could 'take over' and redevelop Gaza as he hosts Netanyahu at White House - live updates The president says the US could take the lead in removing unexploded bombs and rebuilding Gaza after resettling Palestinians in other countries.

Boy I hope all the "both sides are the same" folks are feeling good about themselves right now.

Bill Cassidy caving and voting for RFK Jr. despite knowing exactly who he is should be seen as a clear indication that no Trump appointee will face any serious challenge by the Rs. There is no compromise with people who would put that man in charge of anything, let alone public health.

Srsly not intended to be good I’m trying to just DO because trying to be good is the thing that freezes my brain lately

The amount of time it takes to walk from the farthest apartment plus two minutes.

My creative brain is completely burned out so I’m trying to draw something every day. Not like something good, but trying to recover some of my basic skills. I’m a few days in and I have no idea if it’s helping but it feels like it might be.

I can’t argue with that

Started publishing in 1999 and was set in the present, so the characters are only a few years younger than me. 😬

When you realize that the characters of Azumanga Daioh would be turning 40 soon…

They call themselves “originalists” but I ain’t seen one of the mfers put a feather in their cap and call it macaroni.

The administration has already begun actively killing people and they're just getting started. We will count this administration's casualties in megadeaths and EVERYONE WHO KNOWS SHIT ABOUT SHIT HAS BEEN SAYING IT. I'd say we deserve it but it's going to be the whole world that will suffer.

But maybe it was the DEI what did it... We're doomed

It is easier to break things than it is to fix things, you don't even need a good plan, your plan doesn't even need to work. You can throw a billion incompetent executive orders at the courts and they can knock every one of them down, and you'll still have undermined Democracy with the threat.

Federal grants are a major tool used to provide funding for essential local resources. This has the potential to be a massive shift in power TOWARDS the federal government and people who don't understand how the government works have no idea what's about to happen when local resources collapse.

Legal battle looms as Trump orders a funding freeze during a review of federal loans and grants Democrats are planning to fight President Donald Trump's efforts to pause federal grants and loans. The court battle will likely begin with a lawsuit from the New York attorney general.

We need to be perfectly clear about what this is: This is a tactic to eliminate privatized programs and services. Programs receiving grants that do not have reserve capital to survive an extended freeze will collapse. The cruelty is always the point.

Trump’s bound for LA — threatening to withhold fire aid and keeping Newsom out of the loop The Trump administration apparently opted not to coordinate at all with Gov. Newsom while planning the president’s visit to fire-ravaged Los Angeles today.

Stay home you orange ghoul, Altadena doesn't want you.

Brief update: No real update. We're still not back home. I think they just turned our gas on, but my father-in-law is still working on getting professional cleaners. No particular damage to the house but it's smokey. So we're still in Limbo aka Orange County for at least a bit longer.

Giving this a try.
