This should chill everyone. Even other conservatives will be targeted by this cabal, if they aren't sufficiently ideological or promoting the "right" ideology. Goebbles would be proud. US should also not be using taxpayer money for partisan activities.
EXCLUSIVE: Pentagon secretly installs military influencers in civilian government roles. They include Rob Maness, Kurt Schlicter and Tom Anderson, better known as Cynical Publius. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Of course cases fall apart. Purpose is not law enforcement, it's propaganda. The Trump friendly mainstream media reports accusations, but never presents evidence. Trump building his own network of fake news. Straight out of the propaganda playbook. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
Once again, evidence that the Trump administration is corrupt to the core. Paramount deal should be halted for this reason alone. www.propublica.org/article/para...
I'm a big fan of Kpop Demon Hunters and thought I'd post a video that talks about its succcess. Congrats to EJAE and the other members of Huntr/x for getting Grammmy nods. I hope they also get nominated for best animated movie at the Oscars. www.youtube.com/watch?v=265-...

File under mental masturbation. www.newsweek.com/nate-silver-... Other WORLD events could explain Trump's "improvement" in polls that have nothing to do w/shutdown. Tho temp, ME peace efforts prob buoeyed Trump. Won't prevent mindless analyses from pundits who've lost perspective

Let's be clear. The reporter was deliberately targeted by the jack-booted thug that shot her. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...
smh. Republicans appear not to care the damage the Trump administration is doing to our economy. This will have a huge affect on tourism in the US and the economic benefits it brings. The US will lose tens if not hundreds of $$$ billions www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article...

Key takeaway. I'm glad Griffen finally conceeded, but not after a handful of judges in NC state courts sided w/him, most often along partisan lines. They always want to throw out votes after the fact, and deny lawful voters their rights often using irrelevant technicalities.
Another unfortunate consequence of alienating your allies: www.cbc.ca/player/play/...
This is fucking hilarious, and a really bad sign for Tesla. It will actually discourage loyal Tesla buyers. The fail on this is pretty epic
Elon Musk to Tesla Cybertruck buyers: No take-backs. It’s a lemon Now, some Cybertruck owners are reporting that Tesla will not accept its own vehicle as a trade-in, according to electric vehicle website Electrek.
This is a pretty devastating report, and suggests the dire need for due process. Even if some of the 75% are unprosecuted gang members, they sent them to a foreign gulag. The cruelty is the point.
60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5
This is pretty sobering. Trump is endangering decades of innovative medical research to satisfy a base that wants to burn the entire country down. Mission accomplished.
Thank you for sharing news of our initiative... we are an interdisciplinary team of researchers from U of Maryland, UPenn, and Georgia Tech + more whose aim is to communicate the impacts of federal cuts on science and health research nationwide. Full explainer thread here: bsky.app/profile/josh...
This. Trump isn't just getting rid of federal employees he doesn't like. He's effectively undermining our competitive advantage in a lot of science areas. So, linger for decades is the tip of the spear.
The DOGE etc. damage to US science will have enormous effects that will linger for decades. But they will be sufficiently gradual and diffuse that people who want to pretend the cause wasn't obvious will be able to do so.
Truer words. I've been thinking this could be bad. Trump is making it worse than I could have ever imagined. He's alienated our allies and our friends, and kneecapped our federal institutions. All for revenge.
I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states. Their finances will be turned upside
This is a pretty big fucking deal. More should be made of this. This guy has access to our private information? What's to stop this shitstain from selling our private info to these same criminals? www.yahoo.com/news/exclusi...
More evidence the Cybertruck is shit. He pulled the hitch off the cybertruck trying to pull a F-150 out of the mud. It was a disaster, and as Diesel said, every other truck is able to do that without ruining the back of the truck. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK_E...
US rushing full throttle into decline. We are the bad guys, now. Started in 2016; contiunues today. Biden continued pratice of enabling private prison system to incarcertate innocent people for profit. It needs to stop. Trump simply the worst incarnation of this policy. tinyurl.com/y6vm8aju
Ppl keep focusing on impact on TSLA. But, this is what happens when political party sabatoges an industry, as GOP has in US. Trump undermines EV market w/his pro-fossil fuel agenda. Other countries innovate, leave US behind. BYD is China ascending over US. Sad! www.theverge.com/news/631552/...
All cars should have this technology (LiDAR detectors), and some do, but especially ones like Tesla that brag about their autonomous driving capabilities. Sadly, Tesla doesn.t and fails on some of these not uncommon circumstaces. electrek.co/2025/03/16/t...
An excellent analysis of what is wrong. It's about wealth inequality, and DOGEs solution is to increase it, by eliminating programs aimed at low and middle income ppl (de facto waste in Elon and Trump's mind) in order to give billions tax cuts they don't need: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUR5...
Main issue with fabricating govt data as Trump is proposing: finance.yahoo.com/news/comment... They didn't have this kind of govt data in 1929. Ppl know when things affect them; only strongest supporters will pretend their house isn't sinking
Julia Hartley-Brewer eviscerates the Trump argument for Ukraine against wowefully outmatched Reform PM. This is what should have been said at the oval office: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d15T...
