The move that perfectly describes America under Trump: Elon Musk alone will make make more money than every elementary school teacher in the country, combined. Boundless avarice, as the pope says. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

That was fast. Next up, Trump’s signature, just like he signed Epstein’s birthday card.

On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump attempted to reject the popular will and install himself as dictator, overthrowing the US government and destroying the constitution. On January 20, 2025, with the assistance of the inaction and fecklessness of the opposition, he succeeded.
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

This reminds me of that time when Lord Byron tried that shit, and Mary Shelley's response was to lock herself in a room and invent an entire new genre of fiction, just to avoid having to deal with the fuckboi.

This memo justifying Trump's boat murders is ugly stuff. DOJ lawyers take the White House's version of reality as gospel and use that as the basis for their case.
But note what the memo says about future prosecutions of people carrying out these orders. It's a tell:

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

A word of caution about the new Axios report that Dem Senators are caving. Remember the NYT ran articles for months claiming that Harvard was caving, which.. never happened. Turns out their anonymous sources were Trump staffers. Axios may be similar.
But, it never hurts to call your Senator.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Trump is appealing the judicial order to pay full SNAP benefits by tomorrow.
He’s spending tax payer dollars going back to court to try and avoid giving folks money they are legally owed.
He’s starving 42 million people because to him they are leverage.
It’s enraging.

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.
