DOGE did not fail in any way to accomplish its goals.

Its goals were never efficiency or saving money.

Its goals were to destroy as much of government as possible forever, and to steal data for the Space Nazi.

DOGE is fading away like bank robbery gangs fade away after the robberies are done.

This is how elections in competitive autocracies work. Your vote can still lead to a change in who holds an office -- but those in power use the state to tilt the playing field in their favor.
The National Archives under the Trump administration released @mikiesherrill.bsky.social full, unredacted Navy personnel file to Jack Ciattarelli's campaign.

This is an unprecedented and illegal weaponization of the National Archives and private, personal records to attack a political opponent.

Dems don't understand. Sargent is right. You have to attack Disney/ABC. You have to threaten Disney/ABC. You have to tell them they will be punished. You have to describe the punishment. You have to go on Stephanopolous and tell him he should be ashamed and resign.
On Kimmel, Dems should say clearly that those who carry out Trump's corrupt orders will face consequences. Tell Brendan Carr that he can expect to face harsh scrutiny for potential lawbreaking. Say right on ABC that the network caved to an autocrat.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

I repeat: This is WILDLY illegal.

Trump is just outright, explicitly, egregiously ignoring the law.

The fact that NONE of these words in the Times post say so is a failure of journalism.
For the fourth time, President Trump extended the deadline for when TikTok had to be separated from its Chinese owner, ByteDance, or face a ban in the U.S. Officials have said they are nearing a deal to address national security concerns about the company and its ties to China.
Trump Delays TikTok Ban Again
It was the fourth time President Trump extended the deadline for TikTok to find a new owner or face a ban in the United States. This time, officials have said they are nearing a deal to address concerns about the app.

America as the empire that memed itself to death
Empires decline all the time, for all kinds of reasons, but our present moment will be remembered in history books for the sheer volume of *voluntary & pointless self-imposed damage*. We're systematically dismantling what made us great, for no reason! Genuinely, with no rationale! It's wild.

Decrying political violence “is” hollow when you groom your base on political violence, foment violence and then pardon those who commit political violence in your name.

But what the hell do I know, I just see hypocrisy when I see it.

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

Lol, why is anyone asking. Trump is a rapist. He raped his wife. He’s a sexual predator, many women have come out. He certainly had sex with underage girls. Why is this even a question?

Trump‘s character is clear for all to see and he was elected president twice. I will never understand this.

No to the proposed Trump farm bailout.

American farmers overwhelmingly voted for Trump, they should pay the same tariffs their candidate has imposed on all other Americans, no special handouts. From @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
