The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.

“and burps a lot” sent me
*cracks knuckles* okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public? now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.
while we're at it let's talk about how hysteria around declining birth rates always frames the crisis in any which way besides blaming capitalism
Seems like SOMEONE is asking for a World War
With him it is projection
The line is governors ordering state forces (or mayors with city police) to get in the way of invading fed troops, and tell police to arrest ICE goons, charging them with assault, kidnapping, etc. Will they give the order? At some point, have to or they're bluffing. But then, will police follow it?
"maybe we can find common ground" please resign and let someone who actually opposes fascism do the job
How psyched are the Abundance Bros, as they pack their bags for Abundance Con in DC later this week, that their demand for "permitting reform" is getting major backing from the Koch Bros-affiliated Americans for Prosperity?
RFK Jr approves of this message. Baby dies of whooping cough after mother not vaccinated while pregnant share.google/2E82Wq8WiL7y...
It frankly boggles my mind that we have invented a computer that cannot do math.
This is the trail of tears again .
Remember in early 2022, when Anthony Fauci was overheard on a live mic describing Sen. Roger Marshall as a “moron”? tinyurl.com/4hpn9j52 I find myself thinking about that quote with some regularity.
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
The next Democratic president is going to get coup’d by these lunatics if they don’t Abolish ICE or completely gut it
One of the biggest topics in the history of this time is how the media simply ignored this guy's ignorance, poor cognition, mental health issues, lack of basic morals and simply treated everything he said as a a serious proposal instead of as the unhinged rambling of a truly foul human being.
I'm just going to keep noting that the owner and operator of Twitter -- the social media that too many politicians and pundits use to determine what's "normal" -- keeps on pushing the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory that has been the motivation for multiple mass shootings in this country.
White House reporters have all seen Trumps bruised hands. It’s an active choice not to make an issue of it while these same people spent years freaking out about Biden.

I'm at NatCon this week, where I am trying to listen more than post. But here's a vibey quote from one panel: "Remigration has become the essential political question. We have entered a period in which Winston Churchill maters less to us than Enoch Powell."
It's wild that today's 2pm press conference can be anything from "Trump is dead" to "we've invading Venezuela" and like both seem reasonable.

And to be clear, they mean white birth rates and white birth rates only
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Michelle Obama: "please I'm begging you feed kids just one (1) vegetable" RFK: "some children deserve to die. there's a healthy way to eat deep fried burgers" Media: "these are the same, to me"
That or try not to breathe
The kid died. Stand your ground with an unarmed 10 year old? Really?
What would great is if everyone just acted like he was dead anyway. Publish obituaries. Just act like he isn’t there anymore. Front it out like they did with the whole “We won the election” thing. Think how furious that would make him.

The future is in the hands of all the wrong people. Time to rise up against a techno-authoritarian century.

I remain a one-issue voter for the 2028 Democratic presidential primaries, and that issue is the promise of prosecutions.

“Frayed collar workers in gold plated times.” 30 years ago I issued a stark warning about the health of America’s working class. Watch and tell me what you think. https://youtu.be/8rW1kkAV-gw?feature=shared
You know how sometimes we find toxic waste that’s been haphazardly dumped decades ago and think, “what the fuck were they thinking?” That’s how the future will think about almost everything we’re doing in 2025.

My twocurrent favorite nicknames for these dark times: "Microwaved Mel Gibson" for RFK "Pee Wee German" about Miller. Not quite "C+ Augustus," but solid. My all time favorite is Tbogg's "The Outlaw Jersey Whale" for Chris Christie.

The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
I can't wait to find out why this statement is so bizarre.
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."

The modern American reaction to voter intimidation and suppression has been a loud “fuck you,” manifesting in turnout and patience. And the next one’s going to be a doozy. Everyone who says it’s all over is wrong. Whether or not they realize, helping the intimidation. Not easy, but far from over.

ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
oh
Raddatz asks how anyone could object to the National Guard in DC because carjackings are down 87%. Brilliant. If they hermetically sealed all DC residents inside their homes, they could get that stat down to nothing at all. Should we do that, Martha?
WINNER
Hey @radleybalko.bsky.social is there some sort of backstory here? Feels kind of incredible that one state trooper has arrested eight sober people for DUI and nothing appears to have happened to him. www.wsmv.com/2025/08/28/f...
"The jarring photos published in recent weeks should have been a turning point. Instead, they’ve underscored the gap between what the public can see and what the press is willing to report."
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.
ICE forcing firefighters to stop battling a wildfire and make them all show their papers, then arresting some active firefighters and pulling them off the line shows there's no bottom. As @aselrod.bsky.social pointedly argues, it's nothing less than an "active assault on virtue wherever it exists."
Before trade wars, up to 2017, the U.S. would export $10+ billion worth of soybeans to China annually. “According to USDA data, China has yet to purchase any U.S. soybeans this year.”
“Bourdain freely acknowledged that part of the reason he continued to work at such a frantic pace might have been a fear about where his mind might go if he ever sat still,” Patrick Radden Keefe wrote, in 2018.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

The damage this man has done is incalculable.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The same people who villainize Dr. Anthony Fauci, an actual doctor with a speciality in immunology and research in virology, are praising RFK Jr who has never seen the inside of a lab.
Pete Hegesth keeps talking about a warrior culture, which apparently means masked man kidnapping our allies to send them to our enemies to be tortured. Absolutely shameful.
People are often surprised to learn that Lee was an officer who never made it past colonel. The purported promotion to general was awarded by a treasonous cabal calling itself the "confederate states of america" which was put down by force by the Union army, which also had superior generals.
Wake. Up.
Anyone have a good historical parallel for Oprah at this point?
