🚨BIG SCOOP: Musk’s DOGE Teen Was Fired By Cybersecurity Firm for Leaking Company Secrets Edward Coristine posted online that he had retained access to the firm’s servers. Now he has access to sensitive government information. 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The Washpost edit page, fresh off spiking a Harris endorsement and then a negative cartoon about Jeff Bezos, gives a big thumbs up to ... Pam Bondi.

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

The way so much of the media has been a rush to blame somebody... Is there a smart philosophy term for humanity achieving such a level of mastery over our environment that we no longer believe in misfortune that is not caused by human error?

whole lot of people want to speak to the wildfire’s manager

AXIOS: “There have been more jobs gained under Biden's term than under the full terms of former Presidents Trump, Obama, or George W. Bush.” www.axios.com/2025/01/10/i...

Jessica: I don't see why it is worthwhile for Trump to be calling him Newscum.. If Obama had shown up in New Jersey and said, “Chris, you could had lose a few pounds” or gone to Florida and said, “those lifts are doing a lot of work, how tall are you really?”

Kendrick Lamar teaches us that, in public debate, refuting your opponent's arguments point by point is less effective than identifying your opponent's single greatest weakness and maintaining message discipline.

Most succinct fact-check I've read of how LA Fire Dept's budget wasn't recently cut -- in fact, the opposite -- from @politico.com. But that misinformation spread anyway. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

next time you hear an article scolding leftists and liberals for not understanding MAGA Trumpists, remember how they laughed at us while our cities were burning due to global warming that they caused. Most of us understand perfectly.

Facebook suppressed promotion of political content during a Democratic administration and is restoring it for a Republican one

Who could have guessed?

north carolina republicans about to make “democrats cannot legally win elections that might deprive of us of power” a principle of state constitutional law

From the people who brought you "critics call Elon Musk a right-winger, but actually it's more complicated than that"

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Four years ago, a violent mob of Trump supporters attacked the United States. In two weeks, their goal of restoring Trump to power and effectively ending US Constitutional democracy will come to fruition. I wrote in Arc Digital about the meaning of this Jan. 6 anniversary, a dark day in US history.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

I don’t think people understand how devastating the end of net neutrality, and consumer protections around internet connectivity, are going to be. Imagine the situation where you pay for 4 or 5 different streaming services, each with different “exclusives” — but for the Internet itself.

Incoming president declares that "violent SCUM" has "infiltrated all aspects of our government and our Nation" and must be stopped through "strength and powerful leadership"... This won't end well.

It's bad enough we have to live under oligarchs. But these dorks?

What is J.D. Vance even referring to? Thuringia, for example, was a stronghold of the Nazi party - it was the first German state (Land) where a Nazi (Wilhelm Frick) became a minister. Today it is also a stronghold of the most radical, racist and anti-Semitic #AfD politicians.

The fact that the FBI didn’t hold a press conference announcing the largest seizure of self-made explosives in history tells you everything you need to know about race and ideology of the suspect. Wanna guess? www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/u...

• Clarence Thomas chose to ignore legal obligations to disclose lavish gifts after media scrutiny over his disclosures in 2004, in violation of federal law.

Findings from the Senate Judiciary Committee's probe into the Supreme Court's 'ethical crisis': • Scalia accepted lavish gifts from billionaires and others with business before the Court for over a decade, in violation of federal law, including 258 personal trips, dozens of which weren't disclosed.

Any time the perpetrator of a terrorist attack has a social media profile that says very directly that they’re a far right accelerationist, the headline is like “BAFFLED COPS PONDER THE RIDDLE OF SUSPECT’S MOTIVATION”

Elon Musk and JD Vance publicly supporting the neo-Nazis of Germany's AfD, just as an AfD supporter/Elon Musk fan kills 5 and injures 100+ in a terrorist attack at a Christmas market in Germany. Vance's pro-AfD statement came *after* the attack. It's bad. Not sure what else to say. Dark times ahead.

To those asking, here's Vance's comments. When news broke that the terrorist in Germany was a Saudi immigrant, Vance implied blame on all immigrants/Muslims. When it came out that the attacker was an Elon Musk fan, AfD supporter, and anti-Islam, Vance defended AfD. He's said nothing else about it.

when you've lost Steve Doocy ...

Blue Sky is nothing but a liberal echo chamber. So as a non-partisan American journalist I have no choice but to stay on a platform that has become a propaganda channel for a ketamine-addicted, right-wing South African billionaire.

The most pro-Russian political party in Europe now has the support of Elon Musk. A party that that is constantly having its members arrested for espionage in favor of Russia AND China. Musk needs to be in prison.

This has ALWAYS been what is going to happen. The way that tariffs work makes them perfect vehicles for presidential corruption. If you're on team Trump you get a waiver. If you're not, well ... sucks to be you. That's why the inaugural committee is cleaning up with CEOs.

“We just have to trust that the man we voted for was lying about the thing he swore he would do.” —American Idiot

I guess every tech titan decided spontaneously to give Trump’s inauguration committee a check for $1 million as opposed to this being some kind of protection racket or tribute. I think that’s it, the spontaneous thing.

soon-shiong is pulling the elon musk strategy of fighting bias and standing up for “free speech” by censoring everything he doesn’t like and openly simping for donald trump

NEW: North Carolina's GOP rushed through a lame-duck bill that guts the powers of incoming Democratic officials. The bill is a pot-pourri of major changes. a BIG one: GOP just seized control of all of North Carolina's state and county election boards. We break down what in the world happened:
