Elon Musk Calls Trump Megabill a ‘Disgusting Abomination’ The former White House cost-cutting czar stepped up his criticism of the tax-and-spending bill just as the Senate is trying to quickly pass the measure and get it signed into law by July 4.

Now even someone on ketamine, mushrooms and Ecstasy can see it.

The @rollingstone.com hed is a little more direct than the @nytimes.com. 🤡

Joni Ernst is a POS: "Illegals" don't get Medicaid benefits. Medicaid is not money mailed to people. Medicaid PAYS health bills. My mom's memory care was paid for by Medicaid. And it's HARD as HELL to qualify. Undocumented people sometimes pay IN thru taxes. They do NOT get friggin' benefits. Bitch.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Wisconsin cannot be bought. Our democracy is not for sale. And when we fight, we win.

Congratulations, @crawfordforwi.bsky.social!

Wyden: "Donald Trump said point blank he doesn't care if prices go up ... the reality is none of this is gonna hurt Donald Trump and the billionaires ... Donald Trump said he was gonna make grocery prices go down. He packed that cause in in like a couple of weeks."

Strom Thurmond was a wretched man who once said that "segregation in the South is honest, open and aboveboard."

He also impregnated Carrie Butler, a 16-year-old Black girl who had been working as his family's maid, when he was 22.

That's who Booker took the record from, and we're better for it.

Scoop: Elon Musk and DOGE staff would face drug testing under House Democrat's bill Special government employees would be barred from federal service for a year if they test positive for certain illegal drugs.

SCOOP: A House Democrat is introducing long-shot legislation that would force billionaire Trump lieutenant Elon Musk and his staffers at DOGE to undergo routine drug testing

— Anyone who tests positive for certain illegal drugs would be barred from federal service for at least a year

ICYMI, this is the Cliff's Notes version of American politics.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance.

Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

Donald Trump’s VP, DNI, NSA, Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, CIA Director and Secretary of State were all on a text thread about bombing Yemen, and he knows nothing about it?
Who the fuck is running the country then, because clearly it is not him.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Buttigieg: "I know this -- in my experience both in the cabinet and as an intelligence officer, you would have to go out of your way to take classified information and move it into an unclassified system."

Soooooo we thinking old Pete was drunk or the job or what? It would be funny, if it wasn’t scary! Maybe we need some DEI (definitely earned it) hires to get this shit together because the incompetence is OVERWHELMINGLY problematic.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

I guess Trump put so many rapists in his administration that he now has to import new ones.

A big reason I went to college was so I wouldn’t have to wear a shirt with my name on it.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Here’s my prediction for DOGE: Whatever minimal amount of money it may possibly save in the short term will be far exceeded by the ultimate cost of fixing all of the problems it creates. It’s already an epic failure.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

A group of wolves is called a pack and a group of Nazis is called a CPAC.
