Fixtress

It's been, one week since they did a coup

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment.

One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

This will force so many girls and young women out of their schools and universities which is, of course, the point.

How is it legal for a civilian to get access to Treasury Department payment systems?

His department doesn’t exist, he’s not official staff so how is this legal?

We are going to have to primary all these useless Democrat senators which is fine by me because they may as well be Republicans with how they’re acting.

No urgency. No sense of emergency. No fight. No clue.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

Saying hello in the most adorable way. 👋 🐺

Who knew Biden could have just stormed into the White House, handed a friendly billionaire the keys to all the federal buildings, fired anyone who might have voted for Trump and imposed the Green New Deal, police, gun and voting reform and Roe v. Wade by force, without barely a peep from Congress.

How unfortunate it is that the current United States government is no ally to Canada, thanks to the Orange Shitstain in the White House. We need to strengthen our alliances with other NATO countries, especially the United Kingdom and France.

I think the big disconnect with the “let’s find common ground” pablum is we’re not seeing conservatives doing conservative things, we’re seeing literal Nazis doing literal Nazi things.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

"When I’m out in public I’m not worried about trans people or drag queens. My eyes are scanning for that radicalized white boy coming at me with his AR-15."

AOC continues her lonely pursuit of the notion that Democrats might do better politically if they looked like they actually believed or fought for anything.

i feel like BDSM practitioners should be able to line up after neil's victims and kick him in the shins.

Thought UnitedHealthcare couldn’t get more awful? They’ve gone villain mode | Arwa Mahdawi Killing people with paperwork instead of a gun doesn’t make you any less of a murderer At this very moment Luigi Mangione, who is accused of shooting UnitedHealthcare’s CEO last month, is sitting in a federal jail cell in Brooklyn.

Exonerating Maryland’s accused witches to correct a ‘historical wrong’ Supporters are hopeful that any living descendants of Maryland’s witches will reach out.

Why do lawmakers care about 300-year-old witches? Correcting a ‘historical wrong’

Another history for Lamarvelous 🎱
Lamar Jackson is the first QB in NFL history with 4000+ passing yards and 800+ rushing yards in a single season. And on top of that, less than 5 picks.

i remember someone on twitter once asked me how i possibly found the derrick henry experience still fun or interesting

seriously just stop watching the sport. it’s not for you and that’s fine. if you don’t get henry you fundamentally don’t understand the sport

The sad reality is, the overwhelming majority of Americans don't know there's a voter for the Speaker going on, don't care & won't be able to name him after the vote. This is what happens in a country where civics education is no longer universal. Its absence lets darkness settle in over democracy.

I can't believe people are saying we can't make jokes about the cybertruck explosion. A cybertruck owner died and all of the injured were staying at a Trump property. There are no innocents on the Death Star.

had an absolutely brutal moment of self awareness as I realized that when I listen to ambient music called like Aleaeris 7: the Adonis Tapes by Hørst it's fulfilling the same purpose as my grandparents buying records called The Jimmy Cresp Orchestra Presents Tahitian Melodies

Happy birthday to Patti Smith. The Godmother of Punk turns 78 years old today.

there are four teams (bills, ravens, lions, vikings) who are really good, really entertaining, have very compelling narratives, and would be exceptionally satisfying to see as super bowl champs. if the chiefs threepeat it will be more annoying and loathsome than anything the patriots ever did
