Bloomberg Editorial Board: On a scale of 0 to Willie Nelson, how high are you? Of course they can't ignore it. This bloated manchild just set fire to decades worth of work from dedicated public servants, all so he could self-deal. There is no bright side. It's not reform, it's repair. Fuck off.

I'm not being purposefully obtuse. The guy's a dick, obv. However, it would be cool to have more AOCs out there (male/female/etc.). 🤔 I have an idea. Let's make this one president and then we can see how that plays out inspiring the next generation!

I couldn't agree with Mr. DiBello more. Taking the "high road" is a call from the establishment to protect the current social order for sake of social norms which serve their interests. It's merely status quo wrapped in a cloak of decorum and civility.

Pro tip: When under investigation, STFU. Seriously. You're the best. I'm sure if, given the opportunity, you could prove your innocence... But that's not why they are talking to you. They have a theory and want supporting evidence. Everything you say will be used to prove that theory. STFU.

Elon, after 4 years of clearly poor choices, I know you thought that firmly planting your lips on Trump's taint was the natural progression... But that left you with a bitter aftertaste and an embarrassing orange "glow". Maybe you forgot that you were supposedly a CEO, before you were "OfDonald."

It's not just the funding that is Congressionally mandated (though it is). The entire Dept. of Ed. including the organization, structure, and how its run is mandated. Trump CANNOT shut down the department unilaterally. Don't let them lie to you!

Seems pretty straightforward. There is no reasonable doubt that Trump's actions against Zelenskyy only benefit Putin. In a sane world, Trump would already be impeached for crimes against his own country as well as Ukraine.

If there's any one thing that I know about viruses, it's that viruses have an incredibly stable genome and are very resistant to mutation... As such, there is absolutely NO WAY that H1N5 can benefit from selective mutations/lat. gene transfer. This is not an instantly regrettable decision. #sarcasm

Selfish is one thing. In fact, selfish is basically all Trump does. However, this is vile. This is tantamount to murder. If this goes through, Trump should be prosecuted as a war criminal (e.g., Article 8(2)(a)(vii) under Rome Statute).

"Betrayal" sounds like an odd word choice here. Don't get me wrong. I'm sympathetic for all federal workers getting screwed right now. I wanted literally none of this. However, it sounds like someone voted for the face eating party, and then got surprised that their face was also on the menu...

Don't trust Florida (FYI, Pam Bondi was AG there until 2019) There's two possibilities here: (1) the Florida AG sees a legitimate possibility of arrest and conviction of Andrew Tate (2) Florida AG is using the investigation as performative theater with the intent of clearing Andrew Tate's name.

"Probationary" in the federal government does not mean new to the job. Almost no one starts at the federal government in a non-political role as their first job. In many cases, these people have been working in similar fields for decades before they shifted over to federal work.
