I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

BREAKING: The Senate has confirmed RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary in a 51-48 vote.

Mitch McConnell was the only Republican to vote no.

God help us all.

Cars pass under two highway signs with diverging routes: 1) can't look away, 2) had enough.

There it is

A tweet from Justin Fishel with the text: 'Rubio to Trump during a 2016 presidential debate: "The Palestinians are not a real estate deal, Donald." Below this text, there is an image from a CNN broadcast of the Republican Presidential Debate. The image shows two individuals standing behind podiums with the CNN logo in the background. The caption on the screen reads: 'I watched him meltdown and I’ll tell you it'.

He didn’t get the memo apparently.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

A tweet from Rep. Lauren Boebert with the text: 'LOL. @politico is trying to attack @elonmusk because he's exposing their grift. NEWS FLASH: No one trusts media funded by the deep state!!' Below this text, there is an image of a person sitting on stone steps outside a building holding a sign. The building has the words 'ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT' visible on it. Below the image, there is a headline from Politico that reads: 'Q&A What Elon Musk Said Is a Bold-Faced Lie' with a subheading: 'A former Republican director of USAID says the agency is critical to U.S. interests and can't be abolished or folded into the State Department.' At the bottom, there is a note from 'Readers added context' stating: 'Members of Congress and administration officials pay for Politico Pro, a service that provides policy updates. Lauren Boebert also pays for this service in her office.'

Best community note ever.

UPDATE: My colleagues and I were locked out of the Dept. of Education and denied a meeting with Acting Secretary Carter.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked.

The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.”

This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which disburses funds to PBS and NPR stations, gets $535 million a year in federal funding. So any official who seriously wanted to achieve billions in cost savings would start elsewhere – like the $874 billion spent on national defense.

Another week, another Friday night massacre. Interim US Attorney Ed Martin -- an election denialist and champion of pardons for J6 offenders-- sends letter arriving just before 5 pm firing dozens of prosecutors who worked on the January 6 prosecutions. Breathtaking corruption and pettiness.

BREAKING: 88 FBI agents who worked on Trump cases were just physically escorted out of the Washington Field office per a source.

You are a Rockstar, Mr. Takei. Priceless.

Two Capitol Rioters Go Viral After Refusing Trump Pardon: 'I Broke The Law' This is what integrity looks like.

Taking responsibility for your own actions.

Screenshot of a tweet by Skyler Higley with the caption: 'when everyone in power is kissing the ring my man Kirkland said "f*** that."' Below it is a retweeted post from Pop Crave that reads: 'Costco defends its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies amid pressures to scale them back: "Our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary."' The image includes the Costco Wholesale logo on a blue background.

Bravo, Costco!

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

A tweet by Staff Sergeant Gonell, Aquilino. The tweet reads: 'The Republicans who WE, the officers protected and saved—the ones that ran in fear for their lives on Jan 6 are giving tours to the marauders and treating them honorably, giving them a hero’s welcome instead of the officers who risked their lives for them. All while claiming they back the blue.'

The GOP in Congress are indeed an ungrateful set of cowardly miscreants.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

I’m at a video game competition/conference with one of the kids. It is amazing. Lots of “weirdos” (in the best way) just being themselves. This is the America I want to live in. I want people to be able to not fit in and find their own way.

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.

World map with all countries in green except for the United States, symbolizing U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization. Caption from '@IdiotBenevolent' says "The updated World Health Organization map is a sick joke."

The joke is on us.

Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social

If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov"

The national archives is still doing its job for now.

Hiring freeze ordered at US Dept of Veterans Affairs, which operates dozens of hospitals, 100s of clinics and veterans benefits programs nationwide

Love to see it

Makes perfect sense to discontinue medical research right after a global pandemic that killed millions. This is the kind of strategic thinking we need!

January 22, 2025 Marc Caputo of Axios reported today that Trump’s decision to pardon or commute the sentences of all the January 6 rioters convicted of crimes for that day’s events, including those who attacked police...

The acting director of the Office of Personnel Management (the feds' H.R. department) is telling federal employees to rat out their DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility) colleagues by emailing "DEIAtruth@opm.gov."
