Vyacheslav Volodin, the chairman of the Duma, Russia’s parliament, said on Tuesday: “If they recognised the [USAid] organisation as an enemy, let them give us the lists. Congress will send us the lists — we will give them to the FSB [Russian security service].”

This will help ensure future dissidents think twice before working with the US for decades. Russia couldn't be happier, I'm sure. Looks like they own this country now.

They control a lot of the US right now. Trump is well known to be compromised.

I have a dream that one day in the green hills of Washington, Trump and Musk working together will manage to cause some historic scale of disaster, in such an undeniable way that the people of the United States yes even the ones who get all their news from TikTok and their WhatsApp group, will get angry at how fucked up the whole situation has clearly become.

I have a dream that one day, even in the halls of the White House, the fact that somebody has shit the bed will become undeniable, the anger palpable, and the search for somebody to blame will commence with the fact-free thirst for vengeance that is the Trump administration's signature style.

I have a dream that the little band of absolute idiots who have been running around breaking everything on purpose, doing more and with more motivation and energy than Trump ever managed to work his fat golf-cart-riding ass around to do, and pissing off almost everybody in Washington whose name is not Musk or Trump, will start to come into the crosshairs as the people responsible. There may of course be quite a bit of truth to the accusation, although that will be irrelevant.

I have a dream that, since Elon Musk somehow managed with his impeccable failson lack of foresight to miss the signs clear as day from Steve Bannon, Michael Cohen, Mike Pence, and so on, he will suddenly be totally surprised and outraged to find himself in the crosshairs of an absolutely un-bullshit-his-way-out-of-able weaponized justice system, since he has of course broken an absolute shitload of laws to fuck everything up in the first place.

I have a dream today. Like anybody, I would like to see my dream come to life. Now I may not get that wish. But I am here tonight to tell you that we, as a people, have been through worse than this bullshit before and we need to hold on to any type of hope and vision that we can lay our hands on.
