Their demise is Musk’s legacy

Old mountain mama. Happily married since 1982 to a California curmudgeon, mom to two adults and a cat named Icarus. Trying to find hope that we’re not doomed.

Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.
It would be nice if the sheer scale of the wipeout made a lot of people in government and around government pause and think to themselves “what happens to me if Democrats get subpoena power next year” when faced with illegal directives from a rotting administrative corpse

And when you say shit like "Dems don't want to teach algebra," *you are part of that hostile media*, creating a distorted national party image.
Someone needs to stitch together an ad with clips of Leavitt's comment that the president is focused on the Epstein Ballroom and the "Great Gatsby" party he threw there interspersed with news reports about SNAP drying up and government workers going unpaid.

The threats were made last month, as the U.S. maneuvered to block a new effort to tax pollution at a meeting of the International Maritime Organization in London.
National delegates were threatened with personal consequences if they went against Washington.
Trump mafia style diplomacy.
it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
why we do not have a 24/7 media drumbeat, "the president is mentally incompetent," I will never understand

The assumption appears to be that ordinary voters will be cowed, obsequious, and unwilling to challenge autocracy, just like the billionaires, business leaders, media executives, and other leading institutions of civil society, which have decided that fighting back is “not worth the hassle.”
01.11.2025 13:20 — 👍 1050 🔁 123 💬 23 📌 11He could have commented on the dangers of a president vowing to punish an entire city because he doesn’t like the democratically-elected Mayor, or asked Mamdani to do so. Instead, he took these threats for granted and asked whether voters should decide to be swayed by the rhetoric of an autocrat.

Andrew Cuomo kind of amplified that. What do you have to say to New Yorkers who say, is this worth the hassle of losing perhaps a lot of money in federal funding if you become the mayor?
In the 1st question of his brief interview with Mamdani. Anderson Cooper reports Trump’s strongman threats to punish NYC if the Mayoral candidate is elected, as if he gets to select where funding goes according to his whims, & then asks whether voters will find it “worth the hassle” to vote for him.

This is a longstanding, thoroughly disproven lie.
Vance is carving out a little niche for himself as the guy who tells vicious, racist lies about non-white people to massage the egos of white nationalists. And the *specific* lies he tells reveal he’s well versed in white nationalist propaganda.
It’s almost like people didn’t realize that cutting foreign aid, food programs, & healthcare abroad - was a precursor to cutting them here. It was never about saving money. It’s about control. Break the safety nets so dependency flows upward. Sell them their own survival
