CNN with an absolutely gigantic story:

"Elon Musk’s top lieutenants at the Treasury Department asked its acting secretary, a career civil servant, to immediately shut off all USAID payments using the department’s own ultra-sensitive payment processing system."

This is the worst case scenario for what Elon has been up, an actual coup where he seizes control of government systems and uses them to control the government unlawfully, and it’s just been confirmed. Musk should be arrested immediately

ooooooweeeee

If I was willing to let myself doom, "the majority of online leftists consider the idea that America has ever been involved in good things as a challenge" is probably something that would give me a significant spiral

I don’t have enough words to fully describe the level of hatred I feel for Nancy Mace.

the idea that unions and the organized 'working class' can shape policy outcomes in the US took a body blow and not enough people have recognized that

It's so fucked that a goddamn email server was the leading story for the 2016 election and comparing that with NYT coverage now

Murphy: "The reality is this could get dystopian very quickly. If you were to start speaking ill of Elon Musk on social media, Musk might be able to stop or delay your tax refund, or your mom's Social Security benefit, in part because we have no window into what's happening at Treasury right now."

They're licking their chops for a justification for a crackdown. They want a lib J6 so they can kill people

You voted for a psychopath.

trump is quivering in his boots

I guarantee you there'd be a military coup before this shit happens, especially if it is Greenland or Canada. it would be a revolt.

A federal judge on Tuesday indefinitely blocked President Donald Trump’s effort to curb birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants and temporary foreign visitors.

like the dictators they worship, the american right cannot distinguish between the aesthetic and appearance of power and actual power

dude I think I might be on my way to just straight up believing that one or both of them is literally taking orders from Moscow or Beijing

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Wretched power scribes at the NYT use praiseful language to describe Trump’s deranged casual genocide wishes

“Audacious.” What the fuck are these people doing.

Feels like Cassidy violated more than one oath with this vote.

This is a glaring red flag. El Salvador will accept "deported" Americans, almost surely to be tortured and imprisoned by Bukeles thugs. You cannot legally deport an American citizen. That doesn't mean they won't try. apnews.com/article/migr...

Elon Musk @elonmusk Great idea!! Nayib Bukele v @nayibbukele • 2h We have offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system.

It’s gonna be so cool when every American agent east of Prague mysteriously disappears over the course of a year and Susan Collins says she has grave concerns about their disappearances.

I miss the old GOP.
