like I know we all know it but Christ when you say it out loud

Sen Tommy Tuberville tweets Newsom should be arrested and LA is like a third world country. Newsom replies Alabama has 3x the homicide rate of CA and tells TT to stick to football.

This Gavin please.

But, her emails

Hard to imagine a more perfect metaphor for what they are doing to our country (and the world)

I don't think it's obvious because of the overwhelming amount of chaos in the news, but this is the biggest shift in American foreign policy since 1945. This is a titanic shift, and I'm not sure anyone knows what the result is going to be.

Sorry, 63 million Medicaid recipients,

Elon Musk needs another rocket and Peter Thiel needs a seventh yacht.

Priorities, amirite?

Ps: Don't get sick.

Be best,

Republicans

Musk is bringing back the white supremacist because he doesn't actually think there's anything wrong with white supremacism.

What's more important?

Tax cuts for billionaires or Grandpa getting medical treatment?

We know what Republicans think....

#HandsOffOurMedicaid

(h/t: @the.language.nerds)

The richest man in the world eliminating programs for the world’s poorest.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

Conservative budget wonks (Manhattan Instiutte, Tax Foundation) confirming that this is a consittutional crisis. Not liberal hysteria. Happening right now.

everybody clap for elon and his fluff monkey. they "deleted" the office that now allows you to file your taxes for free as opposed to paying Turbotax

I keep thinking how lucky it is that Elon Musk isn't Jewish. Then it might look weird that a foreign billionaire spent $1B to elect a president in exchange for the authority to steal your social security information and cancel congressional grants for children's healthcare

FBI Director nominee Kash Patel promised no retribution. The next day, we have this grotesque purge at the FBI.

Bondi said she would examine pardons on a case by case basis.

Then Trump gave 1550 pardons overnight.

Their confirmation commitments mean nothing.

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

The key questions senators must ask Trump’s health nominees - The Boston Globe RFK Jr. and other nominees risk eroding scientific integrity, prioritizing political ideologies over public health, and undermining the very institutions that protect us.

With President Trump's nominees for key health jobs heading to the Senate this week for questioning, here are the questions Dean @ashishkjha.bsky.social says senators need to ask. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/27/o...

It snowed. It’s not like there’s a violent mob outside beating up cops who are desperately trying to protect members of Congress inside.

CARTOONS OF THE DAY 🫤

(Cartoonists are rallying around @anntelnaes.bsky.social as she leaves the @washingtonpost.com )

4 years ago today.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Elon Musk and JD Vance publicly supporting the neo-Nazis of Germany's AfD, just as an AfD supporter/Elon Musk fan kills 5 and injures 100+ in a terrorist attack at a Christmas market in Germany. Vance's pro-AfD statement came *after* the attack.
It's bad. Not sure what else to say. Dark times ahead.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: “All we're getting right now is a preview of the next four years...Governing is actually for grownups, and Republicans are children who have empowered the richest man in the world to basically tell them what to do via tweet and text.”

We now confront the unprecedented problem of an unelected South African half-trillionaire holding hostage an unstable and vengeful president with a thermonuclear arsenal and a barely Republican (221-214) Congress as the rough beast of tyranny slouches toward Bethlehem. What could possibly go wrong?

Every conversation I’ve had with my Republican friends for the last seven years distilled into three sentences.

Barron Trump’s Life and Times at College Have Taken a Startling Turn This sounds like someone I know.

Is Trump above resurrecting one of his fake personas to speak to media about the sex life of one of his children? Glad you asked.

Absolutely not.

And yes—this quote sounds like it either came from him or from someone he dictated it to. He wants Barron in politics and this feels like a soft launch.
