Anytime I see Jeff Bezos mentioned I remember the time he flew to space with William Shatner and when a very emotoinal Shatner was trying to describe the experience Bezos interrupted by spraying champagne like an idiot child

The Death of Direct File Tech for good not welcome in the Trump administration

Reminder when you watch the Intuit Super Bowl ads, they have Super Bowl ad money because they are a successful rent seekers who have worked for decades to kill free, quality, public tax preparation services donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-death-...

Bullying / blackmailing someone into giving him their Nobel Peace Prize is, perhaps, the single-most Trump thing. Ever.

What if he invades Minnesota

The January 6 President

January 6 was not the end of a crisis—it was the moment America chose to postpone accountability. Five years later, the cost of that delay is no longer theoretical. It is political reality, and it is still unfolding.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

Make it viral.

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

Why are people assuming US troops and not Eric Prince employees will enforce US order in Venezuela?

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Chairman JCOS: “Months of planning…”

soooo not an imminent threat justifying self-defense

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Media: DOJ released a trove of Epstein files.

The so called trove:

David Brooks Said ‘Count Me Out’ Of Epstein Story, Then Wound Up In Epstein Photos There's no indication The New York Times columnist did anything wrong. But wow, the timing of his column and the photo dump is unfortunate!

NYT columnist David Brooks wrote an op-ed a few weeks ago titled, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out,” lamenting people are too focused on the Epstein scandal + saying "the QAnon mentality has taken over."

Today he appeared in 4 photos from the Epstein dump. Welp! www.huffpost.com/entry/david-...

Their (only) solution is for you to create a new account by signing up with a new email address 😶

Crazy. If you accept the free GEForce Now 'Chromebook Fast Pass' promo subscription, your e-mail address is locked to that (crappy) subscription tier for a *full year.*

You can't upgrade to either of the premium (i.e., paid) subscription tiers. Not even with customer support escalation.

Hwhat. The fuck.
Medium. Unsweetened.

Elon Musk’s Foundation Grows to $14 Billion, but Gives Little to Outsiders

“Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Mr. Musk himself.”

All corporate CEOs should understand: If you agree to attend an event at the White House, you are very likely to be filmed nodding appreciatively at a delusional racist rant. If you're ok with that, go. If not, you probably should stay away.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president.

Just fucking pathetic.

Homeland Security tweet says “there us no room at the table for invaders.”

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

THAT'S LITERALLY HOW THE SUBSIDIES & ACA EXCHANGES WORK ALREADY.

CONSUMERS ARE INFORMED BY COMPARING POLICIES ON THE ACA EXCHANGES, THEN THEY PURCHASE ONE AND THE GOVERNMENT PAYS SOME OR ALL OF THE COST OF THAT POLICY.

I'M TEARING THE LITTLE HAIR I HAVE ON MY HEAD OUT.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies
