What a moron

It isn’t just that JD Vance lies constantly.

It’s that when he lies he does it with smugness, arrogance and condescension.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Can we just fix the airports and work on planes crashing?

Make it make sense

A most eloquent thread.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Paying an extortionist -- where do you think it ends? Do you think he honors his side of the supposed "deal"? Really?

Meanwhile, as Big Law ill-advisedly pays the protection racket, there's a huge need for lawyers to help regular people Trump is illegally targeting:

I'm pretty sure they're genuinely dumb. But they know enough to know what's illegal and unconstitutional and undemocratic, and on that, they're playing dumb

I did it -- took a while because I think everyone is doing it at once, but it's easy

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.

If you're thinking this administration can't be THAT incompetent, consider this:

Honestly, it feels like the US has stage 4 lung cancer at this point, and it’s going to be a short and painful journey to death.

Ask yourself:

Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this?

Why would any decent human being do this?

Brown Medicine doctor deported despite federal court order. What we know. A court order that would have delayed the deportation of Dr. Rasha Alawieh was issued while her plane was on the tarmac, but it took off anyway.

Another Upside-Down Day of Trump Diplomacy The president threatened allies with an invasion and hit them with tariffs. For Putin, he had only praise.

Can we begin the conversation now about cognitive degeneration?

Elon Downplays DOGE as MAGA Screams ‘They Took Our Jobs!’ "Stop blaming DOGE."

Re the polls showing higher approval ratings, a large majority of those who watched are already pro-felon-in-the-white-house.

The great job creator is about to fire 80K from Veteran's Affairs to line the pockets of billionaires, who never served.

Never forget: Trump was a draft-dodger.

DOGE firings have upended the lives of thousands of hardworking civil servants — including park rangers, disease researchers, and veterans.

Meanwhile, DOGE's own staffers are drawing hefty six-figure government salaries from the very agencies they are sabotaging.

"Efficiency."
