Techbros think they’re the smartest and best people out there, but they’re just little men who enjoy being cartoonishly cruel. They are simultaneously evil and mediocre, admittedly a hard combination to pull off. Dregs of humanity, one and all.

"This fault lies directly on Trump and Hegseth" -- Sen. Andy Kim points out that the Trump administration gutted the budget for the DoD's "civilian protection center," which could've helped Hegseth and company not bomb an elementary school in Iran

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet β€” and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now β€” never be the first to stop clapping.

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

β€˜They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Trying to use less plastic?

Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.

β€œI think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. β€œIt was such a shock."

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.

They know that the American people do not want a war

It takes a certain kind of…narcissistic nihilism to look across the country at people self-organizing against something that is generally a fairly good material symbol of the intangible class warfare that has alienated them and say, β€œwhat a silly distraction from what *really* matters.” And yet…

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill herβ€”and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

What the fuck is wrong with America. That his approval is anywhere near 40 is madness. He should be closer to 20.

Fuck sake the dems and others are not making the case that he is STEALING democracy from under their noses. In plain sight.

Something must be done.

Mullin is awful, but at least he won’t be boinking his aide in the bedroom of a luxury jet purchased with our tax dollars.

I mean, I don’t think he will…

β€˜We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

Trump: "If we didn't do what we're doing right now, you would've had a nuclear war and they would've taken out many countries. Because you know what? They're sick people. They're mentally ill sick people. They're angry. They're crazy. They're sick. Thank you very much. Thank you very much everybody"
