the image is a screen cap of an elon musk tweet that reads: "For a country to survive, there has to be a common culture. Nobody dies to defend a "multicultural economic zone"! American culture, with its English-Scotts-Irish origin, is great and worth fighting for. Some may not realize it, but that's why people come here."

Accuse me of xenophobic stereotyping all you like, but the last person I'm going to listen to about the real America is a dope-addicted unmarried immigrant who can't even count how many kids he has from God knows how many women.

Exclusive: White House uses USAID funds for budget director Vought's security, documents show The White House budget office is using millions of dollars from the former U.S. foreign aid agency to pay for the security detail of Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's budget chief and an archit...

there's fierce competition, but this is one of the most stomach-turning things I've read in some time

At no time in history has Rage against the Machine songs been more relevant then today. If you loved them then or their music now you know what you need to do now and in the elections to come.

That tech oligarchs are noisy and incensed about the remote possibility of a wealth tax and utterly silent about the murder of a man who was only using the phone they invented to chronicle the thuggish government goon squads should tell you everything about these desiccated souls.

I wrote book reviews for a while for the WSJ well over a decade ago, and Bari Weis was my editor. One of her special tricks was to try to insert a sharp rightward slant into my essays *after* it had been copy edited, as a way of slipping her viewpoint in at the last minute.

A reminder.👇🏻

Until the 20th century the United States had repeated epidemics of *cholera.* in the mid 1960s nearly half of Americans smoked. Now it’s just over 10%. Until the last couple years, measles was basically eliminated in the US. In 1952 more than 3000 people in the US died of polio; there 58k cases.

Over and over, the Trump-Vance administration is tearing down rules that protect ordinary people from mistreatment by corporations. Now it's happening in the airline sector.

Trump hates his new nickname TACO so out of respect we made this song! 🌮 🕺🎶

Here is UW - Madison's budget. Our <largest> funder is the federal government. 25%. It used to be the state. Either way, the university in its current form ceases to exist if these federal cuts really happen. But The. Public. Doesn't. Know. This. And our leaders are absent from the public debate.

We import a boatload of Nickel and Vanilla from Madagascar - not stuff you can grow/mine everywhere.

We don’t sell them a much cos the average income is $510 per year.

Because Trump’s Tax is based on trade deficit, not tariffs, we’re now slapping a 90% tariff on Madagascar.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Unkind men so often whither in the face of unkindness.

It's only Tuesday!

Notice to flat-Earthers all around the globe: Please alert the authorities if tonight’s Total Lunar Eclipse looks like this:

Feels like I'm leaving money on the table by not doing a scam or swindle of some kind. Would you guys buy a car for $100,000 if I pretended it can drive itself. What about a fake currency

Looking as crazy as this week feels.

Epic idea

This memo makes the Trump Admin’s goal crystal clear: they want to roll back the PACT Act by cutting 80,000 jobs—including 20,000 veterans—while starving VA’s ability to meet increased demand in order to justify privatizing VA.

Trump Administration Plans To Cut 80,000 Employees From Veterans Affairs, Internal Memo Shows The VA's chief of staff told top level officials at the agency that it had an objective to cut enough employees to return to 2019 staffing levels of just under 400,000.

An internal memo shows that Trump & Musk are planning to fire 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs.

Two out of touch billionaires who have never served in uniform slashing an agency that serves our nation’s veterans. This would be disastrous. Our vets deserve better.

🚨 Trump’s VA is planning to cut 83,000 employees—slashing staffing back to 2019 levels, before the PACT Act expanded care for over a million Veterans.

This will mean longer wait times, worse care, and more red tape for those who served.

Veterans won’t stand for this.

Exclusive: Trump administration pushed out US military health agency head, officials say U.S. Army Lieutenant General Telita Crosland, the head of the military's health agency and one of the most senior Black female officers in the Army, was forced to retire on Friday, two sources told Reuters.

Fired by a Fox news personality, drunkard, that ran 2 veterans organizations into the ground...Hegseth hasn't done 1/100th of what this patriot has done. Merit my ass... www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

Galileo giving side-eye to the nonsense he heard last night.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."
