Pretty interesting that they were able to steal $80m with the read only access they were claiming. https://comptroller.nyc.gov/newsroom/statement-from-nyc-comptroller-lander-on-the-trump-administrations-illegal-reversal-of-fema-funding/

Since when? Since 1803, when case of Marbury v. Madison established the principle of judicial review, granting the U.S. Supreme Court the power to declare laws and executive actions unconstitutional.

I’m admitting that I was wrong. I used to think the people that said “Leave it to the states” were wrong, but not anymore. Now Governors and state governments might be the best protection from fascism we have left. Kudos to @govferguson for standing up for human rights.

Tesla has long been overvalued compared to any metric of revenue

Tesla has long been overvalued compared to any metric of revenue or profits. It was more of a brand, and the hope/promise of what they could do more than what they had actually done. Looks like that bubble is bursting

This is a kleptocracy.

The State Department’s procurement fore

This is a kleptocracy. The State Department’s procurement forecast, revised as of late December 2024, lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to buy $400,000,000 worth of “Armored Tesla.” Sure is nice that Musk is working for free. /s

How evil do you have to be to slash programs that directly aided your sick daughter? Russell Vought evil apparently. Hypocrisy is pulling up the ladder behind him and leaving families without medical care. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/project-2025-vought-medical-funding/

Republicans pretend to care about the debt when Democrats are in charge. Today they propose to raise the limit 4 TRILLION dollars. To pay for their tax cuts for the wealthiest, and while cutting SNAP and Medicaid funding. Crooks and Traitors.

Rep. Garcia is a hero. Calling musk a d*ck is the kind of energy we need. Tired of taking the high road and losing.

Kash Patel has repeatedly lied under oath. He should not be confirmed. But the Republicans have shown, over and over, they lack morals and a spine, so he probably will be.

Musk was in the Whitehouse today, clearly running the show while trump sat there like a cuckold. Can you imagine how media would have reacted if Soros had been in the oval office running things while Biden sat weakly by?

Trump and Musk’s attacks on clean energy projects and funding will hurt the country, and will most heavily impact jobs and manufacturing in traditionally red districts. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/climate/trump-clean-energy-republican-states.html

“Investors” in trumps coin lost billions, but the trump family is making hundreds of millions in transaction fees. Our country is being run by an immoral felon grifter.

Ignoring all the other issues, we’re expected to trust “AI” to run the government when it still frequently draws extra fingers on people? And trust Musk when he frequently over-promises on products and under delivers? Where is the new Roadster? Full self driving?

Why would trump want to fire the person responsible for keeping elections secure?

Very specific- “Bondi is limiting criminal enforcement of a foreign agents registration law that’s been used to investigate or prosecute Trump donors and allies and disbanding a foreign election interference task force that’s identified foreign meddling in US elections, including in Trump’s favor.”

Well, f**k.  

I have a lot of respect for @Heathercoxrichardson

Well, f**k. I have a lot of respect for @Heathercoxrichardson – reading this reply this morning kind of took my breath

When some folks said “defund the police” the right lost their mind. Now they support president musk as he blindly defunds the FBI, the CIA, education, healthcare, foreign aid, everything…

I don’t know which idea is more troubling: Trump is either serious about genocide in Palestine and violating the Geneva convention, or this is him throwing stuff out there to distract us from musk and his minions taking over the government.

“The easy way to think about this is when you’re going and talking to your Democratic senator, you say ‘hey, imagine you are Mitch McConnell in the minority, and then do what that asshole would do.’” – Ezra

This level of insanity is just, well, f**k.  

Trump is promising

This level of insanity is just, well, f**k. Trump is promising to flatten Gaza and take an “ownership” position. I knew the world was f**cked when we voted this halfwit in, but it’s somehow 10,000 worse than I expected. And I expected horrors.

“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy.” Elon

“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy.” Elon Musk’s first tweet when he bought twitter. Now:

Why I’m not a Democrat* reason 2,061: Dems had since November to prepare. Project 2025 gave them the opponents playbook. They didn’t do anything to prepare or prevent the dismantling of our government. Now we get some stern tweets.

In WW2 Germany put the worst death camps in Poland, out of sight for it’s own citizens.

Oddball question: my kid has been assigned to do a book report on George W. Bush. Is like one that is critical, not fawning, but appropriate for a 5th grader. Any ideas?

If someone is actively in the middle of robbing a bank, you show up and arrest them. The useless Democrats are just now threatening “lawsuits” to stop musk. They need to be showing up and arresting him and his minions. Then let the courts sort it out.
