Have you ever wondered what it would have looked like if Hitler's SS had social media?

@surber.bsky.social how much patreon would we have to raise to get you to start a cycling podcast in time for Le tour? ("we" being that tiny overlap on the fullcast listeners-cycling fans venn diagram) what's the number?

🚨 Good Lord if Schumer is indeed whipping Ds to vote for CR giving Musk/Trump blank checks ..

Either way a complete dereliction of duty from Schumer to date through his silence on the Republican funding bill to and all nomination fights in general.

Total failure of leadership. Shameful.

It’s terrifying to be in Elon Musk’s crosshairs. I’ve spent the last 48 hours dealing with the aftermath of these tweets. Everything he has said about me and Troublemakers is an outright lie.

The right to protest is at the heart of American democracy. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest. ✊❀️

Ran this by my spouse, who teaches administrative law and knows more about this stuff than most, and she basically said the only way it could really work would be through agency reorganization, which a pres can kinda do, or if it's housed entirely under OMB.

Column | What the numbers actually say about the 2024 election In what is likely to be the narrowest margin of victory since 2000, Trump probably benefitted from who stayed home.

When the votes are all counted, Trump will likely end up with the narrowest margin of victory since 2000.

Important to keep that in mind when you hear Trump and his bootlickers in the GOP and the media talk about him having a mandate. He doesn't and Democrats need to remember it and act like it.

A stellar new investigation from @rebeccajohn.bsky.social has uncovered the first known time the oil industry was warned about rising CO2 from fossil fuels, 1954, incredibly via their own front group.
