It's time for Governors and state Attorneys General to look seriously at ways to stop remitting funds to the federal government in the first place. The point of a Federal gov't is mutual aid, and if they break that social contract we should pull out all of the stops to take care of our own people.

Funny how the billionaires are falling all over themselves to donate large sums to the government rather than just…whats the word?…oh yeah, paying taxes like everyone else.

She is what Santa puts in the naughty kids’ stockings.

Motherfucking wind farms…

Mike Johnson has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever by returning from recess, impeaching both Trump and Vance for a cover up, and installing himself as POTUS. I don’t want Pres Johnson AT ALL, but that would be a power move.

Team “waste fraud and abuse” will be giving up their salary during this shutdown right? When you don’t show up to work you shouldn’t get paid.

Someone with ops experience should apply for this, release everyone, and become a legend.

I could have sworn that only Congress had the power to declare war.

Mayoral beard game was strong from 1845-1898.

Tbh I’m excited at the prospect of our first bearded mayor in 112 years (and only the second since the five boroughs were consolidated in 1898). Apologies to David Dinkins’ mustache.

Climate impacts means lower yields and less land for food in the future, but what can we do? How do we provide healthy food using fewer inputs, less land, less capital etc?

I argue that biophysical limits mean we'll likely go much more plant based in this keynote 🧵

Left out guy at the party meme with caption “They don’t know I’m the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.”

What’s that condition called where you develop a psychological bond with your captor?

Why have you been protecting that filibuster all these years if you don’t use it when it matters? We’re two months in and as a constituent I keep waiting for you to fight with gloves off

These people need to go. WTF is wrong with Democrats? Get your people in line @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

“A chicken in every pot” as they like to say. Let’s hope the chicken lays eggs first and doesn’t have bird flu.

Might end up being a Trumpression and not just a mere Trumpcession.

Congestion pricing is great. Mind your own damn business, US DOT.

Seriously though, what are they gonna do? Put NYC in jail?

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

Make 👏 them 👏 explain 👏 what 👏 they 👏 mean 👏 by 👏 DEI 👏. Make them speak the racism and misogynism and homophobia into the microphone.

We have a choice to accept the “DEI is illegally, actually” framing or reject it out of hand. The most shocking thing about the last 48 hours is how quickly institutions are moving to strategically and uncritically adapt to that framing. If Costco can smack this down, so can others.

Someone should do an analysis of the collective drain of this nonsense on U.S. productivity and GDP.

Is this administration actually a sophon from Trisolaris? 🤔

Truly amazing to see companies that just a few months ago were thought of as menacing behemoths all line up to lick boots in the silliest of all possible ways. Don't behemoths have spines?
