20 years from now a young person is going to make a popular video making fun of the NFT craze and people of the future please know that all of the jokes are completely deserved

New: "Trump Eradicates Critical Oversight as he Fires More Inspectors General than All Other U.S. Presidents Combined"
Douglas S. Pasternak for @publiccitizen.bsky.social
Trump and the Coronavirus I wrote a lot about the coverage of Trump’s response to the pandemic, and here is what was clear all along: He had no real plan to restore the country to health other than to peddle false hope, predict a quick end, adopt fake deadlines and shift the blame to others. The most urgent need was to test, test, test, and either he didn’t get it or he didn’t want to know the results because they would “look bad”. The media blew its coverage by letting political reporters lead instead of health and science reporters. Political reporters paid way too much attention to whatever Trump said, such that whatever it was made headlines. They let Trump set the agenda instead of letting knowledgeable people do it. Political reporters also gave Trump way too much credit for trying. They covered up for his incoherence, ignorance, cluelessness, gaslighting, and yes, just plain stupidity. They failed to properly exploit their rare access to him by confronting him with facts and piercing his bubble. They remained complacent in the face of a massive death toll, instead of relentlessly demanding more forceful action.
History repeats itself. Remember how devastatingly incompetent Trump was during Covid? How he had no plan? And how news outlets didn’t call him on it? Let me refresh your memory: presswatchers.org/category/tru...
Senate Ag Chair John Boozman tells me he wants a bailout of farmers because of soaring costs of gasoline, diesel and fertilizer after Trump's attack on Iran caused prices to skyrocket.

I was debating going back to Jan. 20, 2009, back to the beginning of Hope.
There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
I wrote about the House hearing today, how Congress is trying to strip anonymity from the Internet, and the devastating effects that has for journalists, whistleblowers, LGBTQ ppl, immigrants, civil rights activists, abortion providers and anyone challenging power for @theintercept.com
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
I love this. Thanks for posting.
When we used to ice fish on Lake Winnipesaukee, we'd go to the "Ugly Diner" (referring to the clientele) at 5 am. Breakfast size depended on whether or not we had to hand-auger the holes that day.

Under Secretary Noem, ICE has violated our constitutional rights and defied court orders. Two of my constituents are dead.
Secretary Noem just admitted there are still 650 ICE agents in Minnesota, still outnumbering sworn Minneapolis police officers.
ICE must get out now.
📌BREAKING VIA NYT: During the first year of the Trump regime, the V.A. cut roughly 14,400 jobs at its health care division. This is a striking turnaround after years of growth supported by members of both parties.
Tell me again this draft-dodging punk doesn't think our troops are suckers and losers.
i'm still thinking about how DOGE set up a starlink terminal inside the WH complex and were plugging unsecured commercial devices into every server they could get access to
The government illegally took your money.
They won’t give it back.
ICE made cuts to its training, leaving out information on the rights of protesters and firearm safety, all while getting more and more funding. Completely unacceptable.
Always "the hand looks worse today; they're covering it with more makeup" and never "the carcass is on the side of the road." When, Lord?

You can’t ask evil people to be less evil. All you can do is fight them.
Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
You wouldn't believe it if I told you, YG. 😉
