Elon Musk should be deported, not thrust into an advisory roll, when there's no way in hell he could even pass the physical requirements of those he's advising. Is he even going to be drug tested 1st?

We’re honestly still taken aback by Elon advising the Pentagon on the future of wars. Didn’t we all see how badly he failed with DOGE?

No, not irreversible. But it will almost certainly take more than one Democratic term to fix. Which is why I’ve been so insistent that folks stop the goddamn purity tests and vote responsibly in November. We aren’t looking for perfect candidates. We’re looking for better than Republicans.

Former leaders of the National Archives are urging a federal appeals court to reject the Trump administration's effort to ignore the Presidential Records Act, a decades old law that requires presidents save all official records from their time in office. https://cnn.it/46oZwej

the reason everything is so expensive and dysfunctional in the united states is because all of the most basic elements of our society are owned, controlled, and run by gangs of criminals in business suits

THE PLAN 1. Flip the Senate this year 2. Block all GOP SCOTUS nominations 3. Hold the Senate and elect a Dem POTUS in 2028 4. Kill the filibuster 5. Pass a bill adding SCOTUS seats 6. Fill the 4 new vacancies 7. Have nice things

Something's not right. Why does ICE need $70 billion on top of last year's allotment? Did it already burn through the $140 billion? Maybe Congress doesn't need a good answer but the American people do.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

I am a die hard Dem but IL *really* effed up with Act 102-1123 They have taken homeowner rights away from contesting industrial zoned solar plants being built next to residential properties. This will not benefit us, or lower our ute bills. They are ramping up for data centers. Insult to injury.

So what is going on here at #Bluesky, I am not seeing any talk about the fact Bluesky recently admitted to getting a $100 Million inflow from Crypto Bros which they tried to keep secret. Why? Surely this will not be good for Bluesky? Anyone?

I knew DOGE consisted of incompetent dumbasses, but this takes the cake!

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies. If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

we dont have the money for universal health care but we have tons of money for concentration camps and a surveillance society

I cancelled my #Wired sub today due to the fucked up "Gay Mafia" hit piece. #homophobic #othering Full Message: Homophobic article entitled "Inside the Gay Tech Mafia". This is not investigative reporting, but garbage. Not what I expect from Wired.
