You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself.

He is his own ponzi scheme.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

19-20 months from now, Trump will have pushed the economy off a cliff and left the civil service a smouldering husk. If you're a Democratic elected and you think a government shutdown from a CR fight is gonna be the thing voters remember, you need your fucking head examined.

Republicans: [hands giant piece of their constitutional authority and dignity to Trump]

Trump: [cackling, starts to walk off]

A DOOR SLAMS OPEN. The DEMOCRATS are standing tall in the door, their shadows cast long and defiant.

Chuck Schumer: STOP!

Trump: ?

Schumer: you forgot this piece

Jim Harriger @harriger.bsky.social · Mar 13

@murray.senate.gov @pattymurray.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov : Please note NO on cloture and on the September CR! it is an evil bill! we will not forget your actions in the next few days, mark my words!

Every Democrat campaigning for president in the next election should pledge to revoke the citizenship of every person who paid $5 million for it, and to immediately deport every one of them.

With no refunds.

This is how you do it. Thank you, @tupelopress.bsky.social!!!

The NEA has released their updated literature grant guidelines. They are appalling.
Tupelo Press will not be altering our 25-year mission to promote contemporary poetry and literary prose by emerging and established writers of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, including, especially, women and writers of color, as well as the LGBTQ+, immigrant, and Native American communities. We aim to develop wider audiences for, and deeper understanding of, innovative, multi-cultural writing by essential participants in this conversation. At the same time, we undertake to enhance the reading experience itself by publishing and distributing gorgeously designed and produced books.
If adherence to our principles means that we will be ineligible for NEA grants going forward, so be it.
Compliance with the new regulations would be immoral.

Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD.

Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%.

Keep voting with your wallet.

BREAKING: We submitted FOIA requests to more than 40 federal agencies demanding answers about the so-called Department of Government Efficiency's unrestricted access to Americans' data.

We're also calling on Congress to conduct immediate oversight of DOGE's invasion of privacy.

Stand up an org that hires every single FBI agent and DOJ atty fired and put them to work investigating the Trump WH.

Put them to work filing lawsuits on behalf of every fed, alien, & LGBTQ victimized. File formal protests against all contractors.

Name Elon in every suit
