The GOP/Right has defiled the historical record.
They’ve produced so much glossy “this must be real” material that people will be able to construct pretty much whatever version of the past suits them, with plenty of *reliable, trusted* news sources.
Our history books are about to be a joke.

Because the history of the eight years will probably be contested for the rest of our lives, I've updated episode 1 of Ball of Thread on the Russia attack on the 2016 elections—the most successful effort to destabilize a rival, ever?. — into the more watchable format we ended up with.

What Elon is doing is straight up illegal. He has no authority to go through line by line and shut off funding to organizations he dislikes. He's intentionally trying to destroy civil society.

In Germany, the excuse was “just following orders.”
Here in the US, looks like the excuse will be “just doing my job.”
Our elected officials aren’t going to stretch their neck out for us any further than their job description requires.

I don’t know if this is the plan. But if it is, let me rain on that parade.
Elon will never allow Democrats to win the mid-terms. If the plan is not to get him out of our govt systems now, it’s a wrap.

The Democratic “plan” is to “not get distracted” as Trump seizes Treasury, purges the FBI and the military, and completely defies all laws limiting himself, and then win back the House in 2026 by talking about inflation. It’s an awful plan.

You can pretty much guarantee that when any major disaster happens, the orange convicted felon and his deplorable cult of racist bigots will blame people of color, the marginalized and pretty much any other vulnerable group of people to avoid any responsibility. What a shitshow.

BWHAHAHAHA. Artificially intelligent MRNA vaccines are part of the massive $500 billion AI investment Trump is gushing himself over right now. Trump's California tech bros are putting vaxxed microchips in the mouth breathing MAGA base and replacing their jobs with AI and Indians. I love it for them!

Trump declassified the MLK Jr, JFK and RFK files (or at least is pretending to). What's missing? Oh yeah, THE EPSTEIN FILES. You know, what MAGA has been screaming about for years. He won't do it because he damn well knows it's damning for himself. Trump is a child rapist.

If you're gonna call out this monstrous criminal administration, please take precautions. Random people just like you all over the country are being targeted right now. They will use "a threat to Trump" as a pretext to detain you and search your shit. Prepare. Learn your legal rights & never waiver.

No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. They’re only back up because of the outcry. I’d tell you to stop lying but we know that’s a feature of this administration.
