Is this an example of the amazing design we can expect to see from Gebbia and his team?

The amount of superlatives Gebbia uses for himself and the role is the give away (and gutting a team—18F—far more talented than him who were already doing great work), Design is a collaborative process that is built to serve, which is something he and this administration will never understand.

Oh, the Cracker Barrel controversy:

1. It’s not a good design, but neither was the original.

2. It’s unnecessary. Promoting “change” to a target audience that hates it is pointless.

3. The backlash from conservative politicians is wild. Don’t debate logos. Help your constituents’ quality of life.

It’s almost as if the CFPB was targeting shady auto lenders like Tesla. Oh wait…

These companies want to be “non-banks” that can accept deposits of your money and then not have any legal obligations to protect it—which lets them use it to speculate on crypto etc—and not have FDIC insurance. They need to kill the cfpb to do that.

It’s not right, but it makes sense that after decades of getting stuffed in the locker by bullies like McConnell and Trump his measure of success is not getting bullied again.

So the people who wanted to lock up Hillary for having a private email are cool with Elon and his child army downloading everyone’s SSN?

Senate Finance Committee Republicans just forwarded Trump’s nomination of quite possibly the least qualified human for Sec of Health.

Those spineless individuals are the first to blame when all the diseases we’ve eradicated through vaccinations come back.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Ha! Like that constitution thing, right?

The purpose of government is to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for its citizens.

Not attack the marginalized, oppress the needy, enrich the wealthy, destroy social support, and force resignations of 2 million people.

Republican Calls Kids Freeloaders for Wanting Free School Lunch Representative Rich McCormick has a bonkers defense for letting kids go hungry.

Does the Republican Party manufacture soulless ghouls like this or just attract them?

You’d think after 9 years there would be a more organized resistance though…

For most, leadership is needed.

While seemingly feckless, the dems appear to be trying but face a majority at every turn as well as a bought and compromised judiciary. What’s sad is there’s only one voice - AOC - that seems to be outspoken. The silence or acceptance from the rest is deafening.

Searching for when in history a forced loyalty test was an honorable thing… wait. Nope. Can’t find one.
