Exactly. Check your sources, folks. Robert J. O'Neil is 100% MAGA.

Say what one will about Justice Roberts, but this gives me hope that we still live in a country of laws and SCOTUS may yet push back. Call it cautious optimism (at a time when optimism is a scarce commodity).

So I’m assuming the name of Gavin Newsom’s podcast is β€œI Don’t Want To Be President”

Yes, this is real. Newsom, the Governor of California (and a Democrat?) will be interviewing a Nazi in Episode 4 of his new podcast. WTF???

In a single week, Gavin Newsom ended telework for California civil servants AND came out against transgender female athletes in his podcast. Much of the DNC Old Guard thinks shifting right will help them win next time. They are 100% wrong and we need to make that clear.

The fact that people don't understand the difference between transgenic and transgender (or between biodiversity and diversity) is proof the Department of Education needs to be DOUBLED IN SIZE, not ELIMINATED.

Poll on Trump's 2025 joint address to Congress finds large majority of viewers approve Here's how Donald Trump's 2025 joint address to Congress polled with Americans. A heavily GOP viewership called speech presidential, entertaining.

I'd like to nominate CBS (and Anthony Salvanto, specifically) for the Most Misleading Headline of 2025. No Democrat or sane person I know WATCHED THE DAMNED SPEECH, so of course the majority OF SPEECH WATCHERS agreed with it!?!?

100%. A few months ago, I stupidly told a colleague that's there was no way Newsom would do this after Musk used RTO as a way to force federal workers to quit. He wouldn't want to be associated with Tesla Nazi. I guess I was wrong. 😞 And yes, I have no idea where we'll put everyone.

Following in the footsteps of Elon and DOGE, Governor Gavin Newsom of California revoked 80% of teleworking for State Workers today, despite the data showing its better for workers AND the environment. Why do Tech Bros like Elon and Gavin hate civil servants so much? What did we ever do to them?

Stop. πŸ‘ Demonizing. πŸ‘ Entire. πŸ‘ Generations. πŸ‘
A "generation" is literally between 65-72 MILLION Americans.
It's fine to demonize SELF-SELECTED groups. They made a choice to join. Otherwise, you sound as ignorant as saying all Scorpios are terrible.

Do people on Bluesky not understand sarcasm??? Or are they just bad at commenting? Hilarious post, by the way. This Sarcastic Gen-xer heartily approves.

The only group we should EVER make broad negative statements about are SELF-SELECTED groups. If you're denigrating ANY group based on age, gender, race, religion, location, etc, you're no better than MAGA.
