BREAKING: In a court filing last night, the State of TX FLATLY CONTRADICTED the Trump DOJ’s bogus legal claims re Texas’s congressional map, which are obviously intended to provide Gov. Abbott with cover to gerrymander TX even worse than it already is.
What does that mean? It's wonky, bear w/ me.🧵

technically he said "they'll get over it," in reference to their own constituents, and by "they'll get over it" he means they'll fucking die

I mean, I certainly thought we would win in Wisconsin and that Elon was making a fool of himself and Trump every day… but I didn’t anticipate knocking Elon out of his role completely. 👀

In the last week, the world’s most undeserving man has:

1. Had a global cyberattack on his platform of choice
2. Seen the stock in his flagship company drop 18%
3. Had yet *another* rocket explode in midair

Wow, how lucky are we to run America like one of his “businesses.”

For the @nbcnews.com research team: “critics” are not saying this exceeds his authority. The fucking CONSTITUTION says it exceeds his authority.

NBC News headline that reads “Trump adds ‘king’ rhetoric that critics say exceed his authority.”

Trump literally posted “LONG LIVE THE KING” and this is the linguistic gymnastics @nbcnews.com is doing in reporting around it so they don’t upset the oligarchs.

Truly pathetic! To call yourselves journalists.

To be clear Elon Musk spent more money on Super Bowl adds praising himself for closing USAID than money he actually “saved” by closing USAID.

People all over the world will die because of this fun game he is playing with our government because he is bored.

Hard to manage your chronic disease without access to health care. And yet RFK Jr refuses to share whether he believes we should maintain access to Medicaid.

“An airport terminal with electronic signs displaying an emergency alert that reads: ‘Due to an emergency situation, Reagan National Airport is currently closed. Passengers, please see your airline representative for additional information.’ Overlaid on the image is a bold news-style graphic with the headline ‘BREAKING’ and a subheading in red that says ‘DAYS BEFORE THE CRASH.’ The text states that Trump froze the hiring of air traffic controllers and fired a key safety committee at the FAA, while Musk pressured the agency’s top administrator into resigning. The message concludes with ‘Trump and Musk are making us less safe.’ At the bottom, sources from various news outlets are cited, and the image is credited to Getty Images.”

They're willing to put Americans in danger to save a buck for billionaire tax cuts—it's unconscionable.

its worth noting the admin is starting to turn “DEI” into “DEIA,” with the A standing for Accessibility

This is the richest country in the history of the world.

We spend more of defense than any country in the history of the world by far.

... and yet, they are telling us that we are getting ripped off by poor kids trying to eat?

This isn't a fucking Dickens novel.

Image description: Image featuring Cecile Richards, a well-known activist, wearing a purple top and a blazer, sitting with arms crossed. A quote reads, "It shouldn't be up to women to dismantle the patriarchy, but we can't sit around and hope someone else does it either. ... One woman calling out an injustice is powerful enough; when we raise our voices together, we can shake the status quo to its foundation."

Cecile Richards leaves behind a powerful legacy—a trailblazer who was never afraid to call out injustice. Her work and her courageous spirit will never be forgotten.

Trump is working for billionaires, not the American people—and you can tell just by looking at who got a front row seat to his inauguration.

SCOOP: Instagram blocked teens from searching LGBTQ-related content for months.

Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags were hidden under Meta's “sensitive content” policy which restricts "sexually suggestive content", Meta said they are fixing this “error” after I reached out for comment.

So many people who call themselves “tough” are just numbed out, lacking social awareness, and able to dissociate at an expert level. You’re not tough. Your connection to humanity in yourself and others is hanging by a frayed thread. That’s actually extremely fragile.
