One of Meta’s policy directors is a Project 2025 author.

Remember when Dorsey, Zuckerberg and Pichai were repeatedly hauled before Congress over allegations of liberal bias? Now we have a major social platform solely controlled by one of Trump's biggest backers. I wrote about what it means for X and the election. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Analysis | What Musk’s Trump support means for Xwww.washingtonpost.com Conservatives long accused Twitter of liberal bias. What happens now that its owner openly backs Trump?

it’s really funny how so many GOP Texans are IRATE about the existence of California, while people in California largely don’t think about Texas at all

Passed 95 already today in DC. 17 days in the last 4 weeks 95+, ties the most on record in a 28-day stretch. #dcwx #hell

I want to see the god did this people asked why god redirected a bullet to hit and kill a father in front of his kids.

Most of those folks don't even like him. Trump Jr just thinks its cool that he's from near Appalachia. Plus all the tech bro fash money.

Fyi to journalists: Hillbilly Elegy is not about the brave nobility of rural poor/working class people. It’s deeply insulting to rural poor people - presenting them as lazy addicts who rely on welfare instead of working. The book is about how amazing Vance was to escape that backwards culture.

This is absolutely fucking amazing

On Chris Hayes podcast with Jamelle Bouie they talked about a possible reason for optimism: Project 2025 seems to have deeply penetrated TikTok. Anecdotally, my 15 yr old mentioned to me all the counselors she works with at camp have been talking about it and what rights they’re worried about losing

more like antisocial media amirite

I always like these kinds of days for DC storms. We are simple storm folk. Give us CAPE after entrenched moisture and heat - add in an approaching cold front.

Best part about this weather is going on a walk. First 10 min eh not so bad. Then the flip switches and it feels like death.

He does not look *happy*.

The man cheated death and now he has to walk into a crowded room and listen to Ted Cruz.

I listen to the 'ears' edition as a podcast. When he was like next up O'Reilly I was like wtf did I just hear. Then I listened and he mostly destroyed Bill's points. Why is everything a purity test now?

apparently Jon Stewart figures Bill O'Reilly is what passes for a Reasonable People Can Disagree* republican and is happy to help him sell books *as long as we don't talk about grotesque sexual harassment and toxic workplace abuse

Everyone still on Twitter should think hard about the fact that their eyeballs are raising money that Elon's giving to Trump.

Today laughs at other hot days this year. Still 99.

Films with a main subject that's science related shouldn't hide the science. No need to make a central theme but silly to pretend it's not thing.

"I just don’t feel like films are meant to be message-oriented," the director said... right on the heels of a Rare analysis showing how including climate in TV and movies "increased support for governmental action on climate change and boosted several hard-to-move attitudes on climate justice."

Project 2025 is becoming the most searched term on Google, outperforming Taylor Swift.

Someone here likened Project 2025 to the DNC email hack of 2016 because they both involve the slow drip of bad news for the party and, while that’s true, Project 2025 is so much worse. Read it now before they wise up and take it down: www.project2025.org

Pretty clear he was tapped exclusively to rally the SV donor class — Musk, Thiel, Andreessen — into getting in line and funneling untold cash into the RNC. Any other pretend explanation is just kayfabe.

Last year I signed up for Post.news and left a few days later when I found out Andreesen was connected. These folks are all the worst.

Elon Musk claiming there's no longer a social stigma to being openly MAGA when he's clearly lost all of the people who pretended to be his friend over it and he is miserable every second of the day is at least a little comforting
