Helluva person.

It can never be forgotten that one of the first social media campaigns Russia ran in the US was promoting anti-vax sentiment. Why? For it would cause Americans to die and rip apart our social fabric.

Evangelicals are raised in a religion that demands they acquiesce to an authoritarian. Whether it’s their father, their pastor, or their president — they are indoctrinated to submit.

Any questions?

The Hill: Egg prices reached another record high last month. It now costs American shoppers an average of $6.23 for a dozen eggs — nearly a five-fold increase since 2020.

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

In latest media crackdown, White House limits newswire access to Trump - Reuters

Guy who claims to be a master dealmaker can’t even strike a deal with one of his closest allies to secure the return of a man he mistakenly sent to prison?

keep seeing takes about how Bill Maher got played. Bill didn’t get played, he’s an asshole. Warner Brothers was looking for a way to suck up to Trump so they sent the dude who they write a big fat HBO paycheck to eat ass at the WH & platform Bannon. It’s simple prostitution.

He didn't wear a suit, but he received a pardon and was treated better than Zelenskyy was.

If Trump gives privately owned techno-fascist companies control over critical infrastructure & services, then any future attempts to reign them in can be answered with a technological shutdown of the government & public services.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

We had a four-year-old telling Trump he's not the president and that he should shut his mouth while wiping boogers all over the Resolute Desk. One might say that was disrespectful.

aint no way we cut medicaid and housing assistance so jeff bezos could buy this shirt
