The most unsurprising plot twist is that all the "contrarians" who spent years attacking every sane and legal policy of Dem presidents are now falling over themselves to praise Trump's lawlessness and corruption. They are not contrarians, they are cheerleaders for authoritarianism.

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

All the noise is drowning out that Bolsonaro was found guilty, and the Brazilian republic thereby passed the test the American republic continues to fail.

The Biden administration had wire and securities fraud charges in motion against Musk for doing this. Elon Musk bought the election for Donald Trump because doing this, lying about the current and future capabilities of the vehicles he sells, is the foundation of his entire fortune.

Two days ago: Tesla has to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for deceptively marketing Autopilot in a way that falsely made people think it could drive the car by itself. Today: Elon Musk "Teslas can drive themselves!"

Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

I look at close to 100 stories a week and even more outside of work. I’ve done this ten years. This is among the most horrific things I’ve ever read — testimony from dying children whose access to medicine has been cut off by the Trump administration. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

npr.orgHaunted by hopelessness: 12 Zambians share their stories as HIV drugs run outMothers and children, husbands and wives, doctors, truck drivers and religious leaders are all grappling with the fallout from the sudden U.S. cuts in aid.

look bro, we can argue all day about whether or not spacex has strong enough fundamentals to prop up elon's empire and still not know for sure, or we can just bankrupt tesla and find out together

Beside measles outbreaks, we are likely to see resurgence of: - HIV - Tuberculosis - STIs (Syphilis, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea) - A worse flu season - other vaccine preventable diseases. Because that's what happens when you gut public health, defund research and promote vaccine misinformation.

Whether it’s Democrats pursuing traditional data-driven economic policies or Republicans having Big Balls create tariff guidelines using ChatGPT, the two parties have taken different approaches to managing the economy

Good take on why embracing crypto is a dead end www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Mark Cuban@mcuban.bsky.social

If Biden would have approached crypto this way, via regulation rather than litigation , young men would have seen their networths skyrocket , and voted for Harris. Garry Gensler is why Harris lost young men and the election news.bitcoin.com/acting-sec-c...

My “there is no kill switch” ad has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my ad

(((Tendar)))@tendar.bsky.social

Trust in US military hardware has eroded that much in the last two months that even the official account of Lockheed Martin feels compelled to deny the existence of the kill switch in the F-35.

Even if we pretend it wasn't inevitable, "Trump made this multi-billion dollar decision with global strategic implications because of what Mr Zelenskyy was wearing and how mean he was at a press conference," is not the solid defense of the man's foreign policy his fans seem to think it is.

I do feel bad for the lady who thought Trump would make IVF free and then got fired from her public sector job, but since political correctness is now dead, I'm also allowed to say I think she's dumb as bricks.

Even independent of this development, the GOP has incontestably become the party of pimps, thieves and rapists. It's a new way in which they think they project strength. All of it is premised on "I'm going to do it, anyway" where the victims are either invisible or political adversaries.

for the record my personal politics can be summed up in these 4 statements: 1) government should do good things, focusing on outcomes over process 2) anti-social behavior is bad 3) housing is the issue that is easiest to fix and has the greatest impact 4) GOP politicians are ontologically evil

New: We spoke to government IT employees/contractors about DOGE. Their warnings were dire. The people who maintain the systems that keep the country working are terrified. "This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s history—at least that’s publicly known."

Another example of journalists desperately trying to discern strategic rationality from a US faction that is driven by ideological obsessions to which economic concerns are secondary It's like trying to find rational economics behind dekulakisation or the Great Leap Forward

My fav part of Elon doing a Nazi salute is the attempted explanation that it’s *ACTUALLY* a function of having a disability. Ah yes, that strange medical condition called autism where you retweet holocaust deniers on a near-daily basis and then uncontrollably Hitler gesticulate. Quite an illness!

If Labour and the Conservatives really are convinced that their governments won't be forced to choose between the US, China and EU, then we need to start a wider discussion about how far UK political elites are psychologically incapable of coping with 21st century geopolitics

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.
