  1. Honestly you have to figure that was already given willingly or placed in a vulnerable new computer system that happened to be hacked by Russia and China
  2. I’m currently reading this book to my daughter at night- too true
  3. We can’t expect a winning season if the team doesn’t address its inability to run the damn ball. The team needs a big improvement on both lines. Also, I think Parsons is wasted lining up as a full time DE/Edge, but that’s a separate conversation Odds of getting to the NFC Championship for the first time in 30+ years is frightfully small
  4. Trump and Putin have had untold number of secret conversations with no public transparency dating back before the election. It’s absolutely predictable that this admin hopes a peace deal will happen by way of Ukraine ceding territory to Russia, and a guarantee that Ukraine will never join NATO. I don’t think there is any way Zelenskyy will agree to either condition
  5. She read that the speech and debate clause gets her absolute immunity for defamation. The “swearing in” just more showmanship for bad faith bull shit
  6. Plaintiffs in the USAID case also moved showing employees not reinstated, etc. so I’m counting at least 2 cases where plaintiffs obtained an injunction and now have presented evidence that Trump admin isn’t complying. Will Elon and others back down before a court issues a criminal contempt ruling- or will we have the Trump admin publicly order the US marshals to fuck off. An unrelated aside, what’s the modern equivalent to dumping a ship full of tea shipments in the Boston Harbor?
  7. Any other roster spend 3x as much for offensive players compared to defense and also have both lines be average/bad? Nothing could be less shocking. It’s amazing he could be in football for 30+ years and still be clueless
  8. McConnell and the GOP had every opportunity after the failed coup attempt to bar that prick from ever holding office again but didn’t. If a president trying to violently stop Congress from certifying the election wasn’t enough for conviction by the Senate then literally nothing will be. It was the Sandy Hook moment but for impeachment. Once we let elementary school children get mowed down by assault weapons and failed to act, then we should just accept we will never do the right thing on the issue
  9. This is a full out attack on the government’s ability to do anything. Laws are words on paper- they have to be implemented and enforced by people. These attacks are intended to destroy our government’s ability to function. It’s sabotage and will be costly if not impossible to undo
  10. I will believe Elon will follow a court order when I see it. These haven’t stopped him yet
  11. This combined with the DOJ directive that they are the President’s attorneys is something I thought I’d never see in this country
  12. Counterpoint: https://www.vpm.org/news/2025-02-04/virginia-community-health-centers-close-federal-funding-grant-access
  13. Supposedly a 25 year old is writing back doors into our payment infrastructure. What could possibly go wrong
  14. 2 injunctions as to Elon’s stopping of approved funding. One applies to 22 states and the other was much broader. Neither seemed to have changed any behavior.
  15. There’s not going to be federal funding for education anymore. That’s what “leave it to the states” means
  16. the fucking Cato institute raising alarm
  17. Remember when Scooter Libby was prosecuted and convicted (and later had his sentence commuted) for leaking the identity of 1 CIA operative? I remember.
  18. You’re absolutely correct but the press has been lining up to pay Trump (personally) literal millions for the pleasure of not giving him unfavorable headlines.
  19. Even Nixon followed court orders. I guess we should just tell all the judges to go home then. We’ve got a king
  20. Aren’t there two injunctions in place? So we’re at the stage where the administration is ignoring the courts.
  21. Then pass a fucking law about it instead of this dictator bullshit.
  22. We’re so cooked. I honestly don’t think this country will recover from the damage from this administration and there’s absolutely no off ramp in sight. Rule of law, fucked. Ability to fight terrorists at home and abroad, fucked. Alienate allies and destabilize the economy, double fucked. US President pledging to support genocide.
  23. Just like we all voted for, right? Who feels safer?
  24. Ignore for a moment that these still aren’t buyouts and the atrocious framing of the headline as if it’s a new haircut and not permanent damage - something very bad is happening in this country. Elon Musk and Trump are going down Putin’s wish list and destroying this country from the inside
