I live in OR and work for a smallish employer. 4 of my coworkers moved to TN because of “politics.” I grew up in Nashville and have relatives all over middle and east TN. I know exactly why they moved. Bigotry disguised as “politics.”

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Ho. Ly. Shit.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Shelbyville, TN. Really any town in TN that ends in -ville.

This is Horus. He got a lot of attention on a recent flight in Mexico. Clearly the other passengers have never flown with someone so handsome. 14/10 we're told he was very well behaved (TT: denniabuendagalvn, paulinagtza_, cheetahbash, cristianjbetancourt)

The old theme music brought it all back. Ah, the good old days.

Chancellor Hitler, in terms of raw accomplishments, crushed his first six months in historic ways. Massive cuts to the civil service. Record-high out-migration. Stunning rearmament plans.

Yet the Volk aren't impressed

One of the things about JD Vance is that he is completely 100% aware that what he is doing is evil and has made a deliberate, conscious choice to do evil to get power. He’s not self-deluded or dumb. He hasn’t drunk Kool-Aid. He’s decided to do evil for power.

On the left is a post today from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. On the right is literal Nazi propaganda from the 1930s.

chart shows that under the bill, people making under $30,000 pay more in taxes, and millionaires pay substantially less.

The Joint Committee on Taxation is up late and busts out this striking distributional analysis of the Senate bill on taxes:

Same. I honestly cannot tell.

1/ 🚨 BREAKING: Just spoke to a source with inside knowledge of what is happening at the Air Force Academy. Here’s what we were told:

Up to 340 faculty will be let go, starting with civilian PhDs. Plan to only keep minimum faculty to maintain accreditation, no more.

Listen, I’m a biology major. I’ve spent the last 9 years learning about politics because of Trump 1 (The Fuckening). Now you’re telling me I have to learn about the economy, bond yield rates, and reciprocal tariffs?!?! Why do you think I chose biology? To avoid this bullshit. Got-damn!!!

Thank you. I have never been able to wrap my head around bonds, rates, yields, and all this. Question: if you had an investment that is in a “safe” t-bill money market because you need it for, say, your child’s college education, where do you put that now? Is there anyplace safe? In my pillow?

I don’t understand the hat though. Those MAGA hats sit 5 inches above the skull. Why? Wear a normal hat you weirdos.

@annabower.bsky.social is doing the Lord’s work.

So Trump never really had an issue with criminals entering the country; he just wanted to skim a little off the top when they did. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Government efficiency is when every federal agency has to send a daily emergency email to its workers telling them to ignore another daily email from a different department trying to fire them without knowing what their jobs are.

I said a similar thing when the NPS took the TQ+ off the Stonewall Inn Monument last week. They are literally trying to erase trans people. Now it’s the disabled. Last month it was immigrants. Next week will be…? Eventually it will be you.

If he tells me I need to renew my car’s extended warranty, I’m doing it.

This guy. He invited the Serbian leader to visit the site of the Srebenica massacre, without permission. Met with a Christian nationalist, pro Russian leader also without permission. Participated in the January 6 insurrection. Now responsible for dismantling USAID.

Could you ask him if that includes former defense attorneys who become prosecutors and then dismiss charges against those they very recently represented in criminal proceedings, such as himself? Seems, I don’t know, unethical.

This.
