The administration's response to the Signal debacle is just suffused with contempt for their own voters. Just an endless belief that the people who support them can be tricked into believing the laziest misdirection imaginable.

DOGE preferentially cancelled grants and contracts to recipients in counties that voted for Harris. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, this is a wild finding. Source: buff.ly/aFdfAUK

Trump and his administration now sound like Putin, so it’s fitting that the state propaganda channel is sounding as insane and belligerent as Kremlin television.

Bill Maher: “A cult is really a cult when the leader asks you to turn on friends and family…Which brings me to America, suddenly saying to our closest friend in the world, you know what? ‘Fu*k Canada,’ for no particular reason…”

There’s no reason to believe Republicans ever again if they mention the words “free speech.” They don’t believe in it. It’s that simple.

Fact-checking these pathological liars is exhausting, but important to note that this claim - that US sanctions mean zero trade with Russia, so no tariffs needed - is completely false. By USTR’s own count American imported $3bn of Russian goods last year. ustr.gov/countries-regi…

Dear Fox News For almost three decades you have always had the stock market ticker on screen during all of your shows. Today - after three decades - it was removed. Why??

This actually gives me some hope that Trump will reconsider his tariff plans. Low oil prices hurt Russia, and he never seems to do anything contrary to Russia's interests.

To understand the danger of giving the government overreaching powers, imagine your opponents with them. How are you going to feel in 10 years when the Democrats are in power and label those against abortion as "terrorist sympathizers" because some extremist bombed a clinic?

It's a very exciting time in tech right now. If you're a first-rate programmer, there are a huge number of other places you can go work rather than at the company building the infrastructure of the police state.
