Rummy

This. Is. Insane.

An unnamed CFPB employee who participated in the agency's layoff decisions says in a sworn statement that its leaders were aware that their approach violated a court order and instructed them to proceed anyway. "All that mattered was the numbers."

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

To a remarkable degree, cabinet secretaries in this administration have become content creators.

What’s next for Waltz and Hegseth

"Waltz created the group chat for a very routine...reason: Asking principals who their main staffer would be to coordinate a meeting. Had it ended there...[it was just] a minor snafu....[I]t was Hegseth’s decision to use that...chat to [share] highly sensitive...info that turned this into...scandal"

Again, if the information was false as Musk claims, then there wasn’t a leak.

“The lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose.”

Something the Department of Justice actually wrote in a brief. In 2025.

My word.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle “Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

😂

OLD: What the hell does Putin have on Trump?

NEW: What the hell does Musk have on Trump?

Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta.

Why?

It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.

Trump on NATO: "If the United States was in trouble and we called them. We said, 'We got a problem, France.' Do you think they're gonna come and protect us? Hmm. They're supposed to. I'm not so sure." (Literally the only time NATO Article 5 was invoked was after 9/11 on behalf of the US.)

A truth social post from Donald Trump. It says “Please explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a Retaliatory Tariff on the U.S., our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!”

Somehow this situation is only getting stupider

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

Its a fascism speedrun

Just wait till he finds out what they did for the Chinese investigations too.

"I don't know why he's doing that" -- Rep. Carlos Giménez is surprised to learn live on Fox that Hegseth is ending cyber operations against Russia

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?

Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

“He’s gotta stop the fighting” — Trump on Zelenskyy (note how he never makes this demand of Putin, the aggressor)

Andrew Feinberg & @AndrewF..•23m UPDATE from a @WhiteHouse official: ••• "TASS was not on the approved list of media for today's pool. As soon as it came to the attention of press office staff that he was in the Oval, he was escorted out by the@PressSec. He is not on the approved list for the press conference."

The White House position is now that Russian state media breached the security of the Oval Office.

Did they ask Elon Musk that question?

Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

just gonna be the thousandth person to remind you all that segregationists start the open bigotry with people they feel they can target most easily but do not end there
