We've become so accustomed to lawbreaking that this probably won't ripple much, but it is important not to forget that firing the IRS Commissioner for refusing to break the law--if that's in fact what happened here--would and should prompt immediate articles of impeachment in any other presidency.

The CDC thing has me really fucked up. I can’t tell you how much stochastic terrorism driven by Covid disinformation has been a concern in every workplace I’ve been in since 2020. And seeing this play out, I’m realizing it just blends into β€œanother day in the insanity!” for all of you. Fuck me, man.

Portfolio update : The Mirror of Pride
"She's been following me for several days; I only see her at dusk. She always stays about ten paces away. When I confront her, she claims to be my shadow. I then asked her if I was her light. She replied that I was confusing my pride with her patience."

A graph of the timeline for Trump’s 2nd term tariffs

Good morning. It is now 12:01 AM, which means tariffs have increased on $1.6T in US imports from more than 90 countries. Those increases go from as small as 5% for goods from the EU & Japan to as high as 31% on Syrian goods, driving the overall tariff rate up more than 2%.

Stop this. Just… Stop it. Stop using "generative AI" for anything that might actually matter, and especially things that, if it gets them wrong, *Might Fucking Kill You.*

Why does this need to be said? Why is this not obvious??? Why is this not the default way of fucking operating?! What the FUCK.

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

A Gallup popularity chart showing the Pope at +46, Bernie at +11, AOC at -4, Trump at -16, Musk at -28.

Two most popular politicians on this list are Bernie (the rare double-digit positive opinion) and AOC. Elon Musk is one of the most unpopular people in the world.

Once again, my fellow nerds, I am begging you to remember that giving into bullies only guarantees they'll be back.

You've got to punch Biff Tannen in the face, McFly, or he'll rule over you forever.

Virtually zero legacy media coverage of this statement. A couple of stories, that’s about it. The lies and insane statements have become completely normalized and are largely ignored now by Big Media.

The Trump Administration’s Campaign to Undermine the Next Election The executive branch is interfering in U.S. elections in unprecedented ways.

I’m not a doomer, but seeing all of this stuff laid out in one place, combined with seeing continued reports of businesses and universities and law firms capitulating to threats, combined with SCOTUS seemingly rubber stamping everything, makes me really, really apprehensive.

A massive regressive national sales tax imposed upon every American by a president with no constitutional authority to impose a national sales tax. The reason why the founders gave this power to Congress is because this would never pass any Congress- even this one.
