I wonder if Uday, Kusay and Big Idi will carry on the regime after the demented old fart is gone.

Venezuela is Trump’s gulag.

Be Tariffied.

It’s a bit awkward. I couldn’t copy and paste my Wordle, though. I’m still going to try to get used to Bluesky

We can still post pictures

Now THAT is how you do a filibuster, Senator. Respect.

Love this!!!

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

Kristi Noem refused to say who financed some of her travel. It was taxpayers who were on the hook An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

America First?
Who are they fooling?
We are now at the same level as Moscow(snatching and kidnapping by ICE agents in broad daylight) or a third world nation (rationing our food supplies like eggs).

Sissy SpaceX—bwahahaha!

Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin.

You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰

This is super important.

They do indeed. If I had to go back to an office job tomorrow, I would be in trouble.

I’m on the fence about this one. If the government did shut down, nobody would be paid and nothing would work. That would have been playing right into Trump’s hands.

He crossed another Constitutional line by failing to produce for sworn testimony the OPM director. What recourse does a judge have if Trump refuses court orders? This is what keeps me up at night. Are there enough people who will refuse to obey his unlawful orders to get us out of this mess?

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

What are you following in the news today? I'm glued to the fallout of DeepSeek hitting #1 in the app store. The fallout so far has been painful for tech bros.

Midterm elections = only hope. Let MAGA fail for now. Infiltrate and divide them next. If those with deep pockets and influence could focus on messaging infrastructure in the meantime, that would be extremely helpful. Employ a few psychologists and sociologists to judge AI solutions to the problem.
