Holy shit--the tariffs are working. High-paying manufacturing firms are sprouting all over town. There's a little sapling industrial fabricator blooming in my backyard, offering $95k starting with a high school diploma. It looks so precious, glittering amongst the dew. The madman actually did it.

It’s the WORST

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Just an amazing lack on introspection. You don't reach this point without years of acquiescence. And even now, there are no plans to approach the administration as hostile.

Me, all day everyday

OMG

You expect me to believe that Cheryl Hines isn’t on, at the very least, HRT? Not to mention a GLP-1, Botox, probably some SSRIs and benzos? Please.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Protests at State Capitols are great and everything but California and Texas likely need a different approach . . .

Enraging NYT headline: “Cutting Red Tape”
Why do they report on this guy as if he is a normal president doing normal president stuff?!

I couldn’t pick a favorite part. Just read this.

Honestly I pity the individual faced with determining which RFK wellness camp to send me to—so many prescriptions and diagnoses to choose from!

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

If we wrote this level of corruption into a novel the Goodreads reviews would be savage

This is so festive!!

I appreciate it. I'm thinking about going home because how can I be expected to work under these conditions

Is there a name for the feeling you get when you realize, having arrived at work on an in-office day, that you've left your earphones at home?

The New York Times proving once again has its finger to the pulse of the most important breaking news w todays Daily on the Kendrick/Drake beef

Elon Musk’s 20-year-old staffers are not only demanding access to highly restricted information but are also displaying aggressive behavior—shouting at anyone who stands in their way, resorting to name-calling, throwing tantrums, and even hitting objects in anger.

Isn't "stollen" a type of German pastry?

The U.S. Labor Department has been temporarily blocked by court order from sharing data with Elon Musk and his staffers. 🥄

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

BUT HER EMAILS

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned.

The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.
