Given the competition, it’s pretty impressive that Trump has somehow managed to hire his worst ever press secretary. Katie Zacharia is a fake lawyer, can barely read aloud, and has zero personality at the podium. The bar is so low it’s in hell.
Gavin Newsom was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle for more than 4 years. Just sayin'.
This post is BS. There are no Republicans making the claim. The only Ukrainian interference claims by Republicans that comes up in an internet search is related to 2016. Stop falling for misinformation.

Karl Bode@karlbode.com · 7h agoI wrote about the feeble attempt by prominent tech punditry mainstays like John Gruber and Casey Newton to rationalize their continued use of Elon Musk's propaganda website.
Trump is desperate to save the russian economy from collapse. He will cause unlimited damage to the U.S. economy to make that happen.
Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window. I 💙 Ukraine 🇺🇦

The Trump regime is paying your tax money to Elon Musk through lucrative government contracts, and then Musk is giving hundreds of million of dollars to the Republicans so they'll keep doing that. It's how oligarchs and Republican politicians scam the rest of us.

Musk’s midterm donations, mostly for rightwing candidates and causes, surpass his contributions to Trump in 2024

It's infuriating to watch the E-level folks continue to push to use AI when I can be far more efficient. Alas, they're wanting to rely on the "free labor" and reduce manager responsibilities to justify paying managers less and cutting out workers below that level.
We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.
Trump: "If you terminate the filibuster, we will never lose an election again because we'll have really good safeguards. All strict."
Trump calls Somali Americans "garbage" and said today about Ilhan Omar: “She comes from a country that is a non-country." If he'd been alive in 1915, he would've said that about Italians. If it was 1850, he would've said it about the Irish. He traffics in ethnic hate. We have to stop him.
Any Dems slow-rolling the efforts at crushing the admin after the midterms need to be seen as, and loudly called out as, collaborators and quislings
Micah@rincewind.run · 2d agothis is indeed a criminal investigation, in the sense that everyone involved in pursuing it is a criminal
Judges whose orders are ignored by the Trump regime need to do more than complain from the bench. They need to throw people in jail.
Kyle Cheney@kyledcheney.bsky.social · 2d agoHAPPENING NOW: Judge Reyes is furious. She has repeatedly told the government to inform her before any major demolition work was done on the golf course. The abrupt removal of 500 trees, without notice, "has cost the government all of its credibility" in this case.
