On Saturday, Elon Musk emailed federal employees and asked them to respond with their top five accomplishments during the previous workweek or risk being fired.

β€œIt’s like the government is being run by BuzzFeed,” Jimmy Kimmel said on Monday.

Opinion | James Carville: The Best Thing Democrats Can Do in This Moment (Gift Article) There’s nothing Democrats can legitimately do to stop Trump, so we need a tactical pause in our fight to plan for the future.

Memo to Trump: If your spokespeople are having to issue public declarations that no, really, you’re the one in charge, then it’s only because that isn’t as obvious as it should be.

Is it the South African Oligarch or you?

I love southern hospitality!

Musk Expresses Support for Far-Right Party in Germany’s Election It was not the first online intervention by Elon Musk, the entrepreneur and adviser to Donald Trump, on behalf of once-fringe anti-immigrant parties in Europe.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a close adviser to President-elect Donald J. Trump, on Friday endorsed Germany’s far-right party, a group with ties to neo-Nazis whose youth wing has been classified as β€œconfirmed extremist” by German domestic intelligence.

Opinion | Our Messed-Up Dating Culture Gave Us Donald Trump. Let Me Explain. A generation of resentful young men has arisen from the cultural norm dictating that men must be the breadwinners.

Social Anthropology time! Good read on our slide into becoming the Republic Of Gilead due to declining birth rates. Related: As the Dictionary.com word of the year is β€œDemure” apparently the allure of "trad-wifery" is now a thing.

Something to send to anyone you know in the US on a green card for future reference next year. Whoever made it as MAGA propaganda thinks that immigrants are dog and cat-eating criminals, but thanks to them for the handy visual reference for legal immigrants who get caught up in the coming madness.

Redirecting...

An essay that really sums up how liberal Americans are feeling about BlueSky. It’s the same feeling we all had during the fleeting 107 days of Kamala Harris’ campaign: Hope, freedom, and the joy of feeling that way for the first time in recent memory.

Marjorie Taylor Greene to Lead β€˜DOGE’ Panel and Work With Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy The rise of the Republican representative from Georgia signals the ascendancy of the MAGA wing of the G.O.P. in Congress.
