Wow @politico.com, super irresponsible and way to put your thumb on the scale of supporting authoritarianism

quite a day when the President of the United States is getting ready to accept a $400m gift (bribe?) from a foreign government that appears illegal on its face and it doesn't even lead the #NYT

@schumer.senate.gov THIS IS NOT FUNNY. Your weak, cringe-worthy attempts to joke about the egregious illegal and unconstitutional acts of this president confirm that you are the WRONG person to represent us as Democratic leader in the Senate. Pass the torch NOW to someone who can truly do the job

Homeland Security Dept. accuses lawmakers of ‘storming’ an ICE facility despite oversight laws saying they could be there | CNN Politics The battle over immigration came to a dramatic head Friday afternoon when Democratic lawmakers faced off with Homeland Security Department officers as they tried to visit a Newark, New Jersey Immigrat...

"Under the annual appropriations act, lawmakers are permitted to enter 'any facility operated by or for DHS used to detain or otherwise house aliens.'

The law is clear that members of Congress are not required 'to provide prior notice of intent to enter a facility'..."

Happy #Easter Weekend! 🤣

Why would the people of the United States want any one person to have as much power as Trump is seeking? Journalists don't even seem to be asking members of Congress to address their role any more.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Keep posting

Thanks @rockerskating.com for all the great info that helped us keep track of everything! Crossed paths with you as you were coming out of Hub Hall but we were too shy to say hi (our Rocker skating hoodies attended the competition too!) 😊

When some people see a Black pilot or a woman astronaut, they think, “Oh, they aren’t qualified.”

When I see a Black pilot or a woman astronaut, I think, “Wow, they had to work their ass off twice as hard to get here —now that’s being more than qualified.”

We need more Jon Ossoffs in the Democratic Party.

This is just fantastic.

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you?

My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

Cannot wait!

Someone please share this with Chuck Schumer.

If Ukraine Loses Starlink, Here Are the Best Alternatives OneWeb, Project Kuiper, and IRIS2 could all, in time, replace Elon Musk's satellite communications system in Ukraine, but they will struggle to replicate Starlink's coverage and usability.

@mcuban.bsky.social this seems like an incredibly worthy business venture for you and like-minded high capacity investors www.wired.com/story/starli...

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

@mcuban.bsky.social and we regular taxpayers lose and they move further towards of privatizing public functions into a for-profit and cronyism-driven model. I'm more for getting behind them with resources to help fight the illegal firings, is that something that you'd support? Sincere question!

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

This is how it’s done.

The degree of it being "sometimes" wrong (and the danger inherent it getting really important things wrong) that is a huge issue. Even bigger than the blatant theft these companies are engaging in with the content they are stealing to build these models

An Unchecked Trump Rapidly Remakes U.S. Government and Foreign Policy (Gift Article) The president’s swift moves underscore the confidence of an administration with a much firmer grip on the levers of government than during his first term.

This piece shows everything that is wrong and damaging about The New York Times at a crucial moment for the American experiment: The paper has no stake in democracy, it seems, and not till a third of the way in does it get to historic precedent www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/u...

Absolutely. Grind it to a halt.

Some thoughts on marketing.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

What Elon Musk’s Salute Was All About A gesture associated with the Nazis has a surprising history. But in Germany, there was little doubt about its meaning.

“A Hitler salute is a Hitler salute is a Hitler salute,” the prominent German weekly Die Zeit wrote in an editorial.

Also, in related news, a clownish dick is a clownish dick.
