BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)
I will never understand the 'mocktail' phenomena. I like the taste of beer, wine, and some spirits... but compared to water/coffee/tea/juice/smoothies/milkshakes/etc... it's no contest. A glass of lemonade tastes infinitely better than a non-alcoholic beer and it's cheaper and less calories.
Sometimes you have some good views. This is not one of those times.
I'd vote for her in a cocaine heartbeat and I'm not kidding.
“.. Within about three minutes of the crash, the Model S uploaded a “collision snapshot”—video, CAN‑bus streams, EDR data, etc.—to Tesla’s servers .. The vehicle then deleted its local copy, resulting in Tesla being the only entity having access.” @electrek.co $TSLA electrek.co/2025/08/04/t...
Why counter-gerrymandering is both necessary and justified: this authoritarian move by Trump and his loyal, compliant red state followers in places like Texas has to be met without hesitation: The very survival of our republic is at stake in this moment. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/02/u...
(living in a country where the most successful people are obscenely rich and shameless perverts and psychopaths) Time to teach my children to be honest and study hard in school
I thought billionaire net worth was all made up and they couldn't sell their shares without the stock plummeting... /s
You mean Donald Trump, best friend of Jeffrey Epstein, and the man who wished Ghislane Maxwell "the best" was in the Epstein files!? Shocked.
I wish it didn't have to come to this but here we are. Can't fight fire with "norms".
We are on the brink of making America a permanent aristocracy if the wealthiest Americans don't pay their fair share in taxes. The new documentary "Death & Taxes" couldn't be more timely — and I am honored to be one of the voices featured in it. Learn more at www.deathandtaxesfilm.com
A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
This is another example of Congressional Democrats following the crowd. They believe many of those they need to reach are on X, even though many of their followers are inactive or fake. What they should be doing is *leading* people away from it. But asking them to actually lead is asking a lot.
The “VISIBLE Act," introduced by Democratic Sens. Cory Booker and Alex Padilla, would require agents to display their names or badge number, the agency’s name or acronym, and would ban the wearing of masks. https://trib.al/ETAcRIp
Insider trading to achieve generational wealth...?
It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.
*HAVE* - it's still there, they're just ignoring it. Executive orders should never be able to supersede the constitution.
What an embarrassing response as one of the heads of the opposition in a time of crisis. Do more.
Why push for impeachment? Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate. The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention. Performative public investigations matter
Dan Sullivan has never had an opinion of his own in his entire life.
The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.
Oh yeah, I don't disagree. These government projects always take so long though that futureproofing is a big concern. Being online with 'broadband' at all is clearly more important than just quality. Anecdotally though... I think I'm up to about 55 or 60 IPs for just my home network.
The decision was made that satellite speed and latency is not a substitute for fiber... Which is true. Even Starlink is awful by comparison.
Don't forget that Grok is powered by dirty methane gas turbines... he's literally fogging pollution all over Memphis arguing with a chat bot.
Clearly you meant to say Mario's Tennis on virtual boy. Meta is still trying to make a game as good as that for the Quest.
“We” are fighting a foreign war with zero consultation with or authorization from Congress, and no address to the nation other than Truth Social posts.
Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.
Thank God for some comedic posts on BlueSky. I need a less doom-exclusive feed
I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.
The court just confirmed what we all know: The military belongs on the battlefield, not on our city streets. End the unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles now, Donald Trump. Refusing to do so will only confirm your authoritarian tendencies. The country is watching.
Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."
This is what makes it good. Twitter became cancerous once it was X... forcing posts down your throat and re-directing from chronological posts from who you follow to 'suggested' and 'for you' a la TikTok. Mine went from left wing politics, current events, and comedy to alt-right anger overnight
Just Elon back to defending someone "in the Epstein files" - nothing to see here.
Move those timelines/goalposts Muskrat! "Robotaxis will be nationwide in 3 months! (aka 20 years... maybe)"
They literally are.

Rift Widens Between Elon Musk, Anyone Who Ever Met Him
must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away
I wish them both the worst.
Testing that in court will probably be bad too
This is very bad Once they start screwing with the data, that’s the whole ballgame
I would have asked, “Mr. Musk, do you think that someday it will be feasible to construct a ketamine factory on Mars to ensure a sufficient supply for mankind?”
Someone referred to Karoline Leavitt as Taco Belle, and I just couldn’t resist.🤭
Who the hell cares about what Elon thinks? He's just a rich megalomaniac in a K hole.
There are several companies in this space already. What makes this one worth 5b?
Stop with the craven bullshit and get back to work, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, or give the job to someone willing to be a Democrat.
The official X account for DOGE then tweeted the video out, writing “Interview with the DOGE team.” THE DOGE TEAM WHICH THE GOVERNMENT HAS CLAIMED IN COURT THAT MUSK DOES NOT LEAD AND IS NOT A PART OF
Pointless except for revenge against his enemies (govt agencies). It was always just a smoke show for his true intentions.
Looks like Elon is admitting that DOGE was pointless.
In theory, this is just an administrative stay to allow the court time to consider the matter. But, of course, it puts off an order that was going to allow some transparency into the group that insisted it was going to make government more transparent but is now fighting to SCOTUS to stop that.
we have now swung around from police militarization (cops looking identical to soldiers) to police chuddification (cops looking like half-drunk proud boys in downtown Portland circa 2019)
"The most transparent government department in history" - some fucking shit stain
This might be the most foolish decision by a government since the acceptance of the Trojan horse. 🤦🏻♀️ www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...
Jake Tapper cements his legacy as nothing more than an opportunist lining his own pockets while democracy burns.
My god. Jake is going on Megyn Kelly’s show and apologizing to Lara Trump?! Dude just took a giant shit on whatever was left of his reputation. Unfollow @jaketapper.bsky.social. Pass it on.
Elon Musk is a cancer and any above board company would do well to steer clear of him at all costs.
Pence: "Individuals who broke into the Capitol, who assaulted police officers...should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law...The heroes on January 6 were all wearing uniforms...To have pardoned the people who assaulted police officers that day, was wrong."
Tulsi Gabbard's Chief of Staff told a top intelligence analyst to rewrite a report to claim that Venezuela' government directed Tren de Aragua to commit crimes in the U.S. - so the report would support using the Alien Enemies Act to avoid due process. 🎁 Article www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...
BREAKING: A sweeping ProPublica report reveals the U.S. State Department is interfering with foreign countries on behalf of Elon Musk. Officials in both Washington and Gambia have aggressively pushed for the West African country to approve a license for Starlink, of which Musk owns a $150B stake.
There is a word for this - lawless
Tiktok is still flooded with pro Trump and Elon bots sharing outright lies in the form of a photo with a song. It's so obviously coordinated you wonder how anyone could be dumb enough to be influenced by it.
This would’ve generated twenty op-eds in the NYT and articles of impeachment if it’d been Biden
They're always projecting...
Imagine voting for someone who thinks you should only be able to afford 5 pencils
Millions of Apple AirPlay-enabled devices can be hacked via Wi-Fi thanks to a collection of bugs known as AirBorne, cybersecurity researchers say.
I would call this usual trading. Insider trading isn't illegal for Congress. Even many of the good ones use the office to enrich themselves personally and it's extremely easy to solve.
I hear you but I'm so lost as to what to do. Every time I try to talk to someone conservative, in ANY tone, it's a struggle. If I offer any concession it's accepted but there is never a single concession granted in return. I feel like my only option is to cut them off but they still don't care.
This is very bad
It's just funny because conservatives constantly cry about left leaning bias from NPR but have no idea how affiliates work or even how much the federal funding is or where it goes. Funny how such tough guy wannabes always play the victim card.
One of the most obvious revelations I have had as a parent is that my own parents always wanted the treats (like ice cream) my sister I would beg them for when we were kids. It took me way too long to figure out but definitely clicked as soon as my kids started trying to make their own bargains.

We’ve talked about this before, but we wanted to expand on it a little more. Late last week, Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) effectively took control of the Department of the Interior without a single Senate confirmation, public hearing, or vote.
"Free speech" is only for people who say nice things about Elon and Trump. All others will be punished.
Excellent reporting from electrek this time around. Nice to see stories that don't sanewash the outlandish claims of Elmo. He is nothing more than a hype man and there is very little evidence that anyone should believe anything he says. I wish this same reporter would take on DJT in this tone.

The only thing that’s going to get you fired from a Trump 2.0 cabinet is disloyalty to Trump. No act of incompetence, mismanagement, criminality, or malfeasance can get you fired. As long as you are loyal to Trump, you can pretty much do anything.
ROSENBERG: “.. Deutsche Bank has reported that its Chinese clients are selling U.S. assets and shifting to Europe and gold. Indeed, I recommend keeping an eye on the trade-weighted dollar index, which is breaking down —and fast — becoming its own source of general market instability.”
Funny that Unusual Whales seemed to be pretty pro-Trump in the past. All it took was a market nosedive to change your mind? Because I can think of about 1000 other dealbreakers...
The ship is taking on water, and rather than grab a pail and bail, the president is tearing at the open hull.
It is VERY much about age. No young person gets inspired by geriatrics in Congress that may very well die in office. Clinging to norms that don't exist and throwing away our chance to set things right. The stakes are so high for the youth but for the old they simply aren't the same.

Phoenix Ikner: I am a white supremacist. I love Donald Trump. I hate Black and brown people. Trump says universities are liberal propaganda machines. I’m convinced white people are under attack. Corporate Media: He had such a rough childhood and we just cannot fathom his motivation??? 😑
The new Texas Rangers logo may be the worst logo in professional sports.
I am so glad we moved cautiously and slowly in dealing with the criminal former president, and mostly chose to look forward rather than backward, because who knows what terrible mess we might have ended up in had we not honored our cherished norms
🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:
I'm no Murkowski fan but look at Dan Sullivan. Her replacement would probably be worse. The one thing I wish I could drive home if her statement is remotely true... we only need a couple Republicans to break rank to SAVE DEMOCRACY FROM TYRANNY. Surely that's better than living in fear of Trump.
Look how much she's blinking. She is nervous because she knows she's spouting utter nonsense. She's compromised because her department would lead prosecution if any of this is true, instead she is just a puppet for Trump.
Don't forget the lost revenue at the IRS alone will vastly eclipse the savings from slashing and burning our federal programs and country's reputation on the global stage.
I feel like it's worse than this. I feel like lots of these people have struggled (not all) and they are pulling up the ladder and removing the safety net anyway.
I say this as a historian — history will remember you utterly failing to meet the challenge of this moment. At the rate you’re going, “Schumer” is going to end up somewhere between “Chamberlain” or “Quisling”
