Every time I have the misfortune of having to login to my X account, it reminds me of the other side’s X accounts and has once again refollowed American politicians I hate. This timeline is horrible.

Musk's PAC offers $100 to Wisconsin voters in pitch against "activist judges" The move reflects how Musk is throwing his considerable wealth behind Trump's priorities — including an upcoming election in Wisconsin for a crucial seat on the state's Supreme Court.

He’s buying votes again. www.axios.com/2025/03/21/e...

Ooh it’s me!

A Democratic Party that didn't spend three months convincing itself that Trump's "bloodbath" comments were about something other than tariff policy might have been better positioned to confront Trump's tariff's policy...

question: who owns these buildings? and could they just be like "nah, y'all just stay where you are"

Fwiw we have chickens at my parents house and keeping them alive is a challenge because everything likes to eat chicken. Also they are sort of wily but also dumb. Regardless they are a lot of work. And also they can still get bird flu. In your backyard. Because. They are still birds.

America is being sold out by its leaders If Trump and Elon think they can forge a grand right-wing alliance with China and Russia, they're heading for trouble.

What happened to that asteroid. I think we deserve it…

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

@jkbjournalist.bsky.social in 2019 I sat in court with Epstein and I took verbatim notes at his arraignment you were there, and I posted it over the years on Twitter and today they deleted all of them they deleted the thread

10 days ago Trump fired hundreds of FAA employees, weakening the systems air traffic controllers rely on.

Maybe instead of handing Elon a $2 billion FAA contract, we should use that money to actually hire and retain the workers who keep our skies safe.

Just a thought.

It’s not cute to accidentally cancel Ebola prevention — a virus with a 50% fatality rate.
 
It’s even less acceptable when it turns out you didn’t “restore” the prevention for Ebola like you claimed.

The Anatomy of a Grift: firing his regulators, leveraging his cronies, and expanding his corporate empire.

Here's exactly how Elon Musk is using his role in the government to benefit his companies, enrich himself, and leave Americans out to dry 🧵

I am positive neither of those ladies would participate in a union based on their conversation.

Ah they corrected me - they’re millennials.

Presidency-ending scandals that make Watergate look like a middle school prank, happening now hourly. Total failure of Article I. Maybe someone, anyone, in the DC press corps wants to ask Speaker Johnson or SML Thune about this? 🤷‍♂️

Sitting next to a couple of LatinX gen z’s talking about how their jobs need them - not the other way around.

They have been having breakfast for 2-3h … on a school day.

I spent *so* much time at the Iowa City Public Library growing up. Explored freely, read what I wanted to read. I hate this so much.

Food head at FDA quits citing Trump administration’s mass staff cuts Jim Jones, who joined Food and Drug Administration in 2023, says layoffs would make it ‘fruitless’ to continue in role

Trump just fired ten FDA employees who were "responsible for reviewing potentially unsafe food ingredients." Weird choice after RFK Jr. pledged to "Make America Healthy Again" and take on toxic chemicals and unhealthy ingredients in food 🧐

I’m not in NYC anymore - Miami and Wisconsin. We are moving back to nyc but at the moment my congress people are in Wisconsin…

I mean, I’m sure there are like four doing … something. Invisible. Somewhere.

What is even the point of having Congress if they are not actually … functioning as a check on this. 435 absolutely useless cowards.

I don’t think I did those the first round but I am not sure the second round would be better lol.

I am so not ready for that.

I could get into it... I think. In the dark.

the preceding ... 10,000 years of culture and development are obviously to be ignored.... I'm sorry.
