"Cull." They're not deer, #BrokenTimes. They are public servants. They are people.
Live Updates: Elon Musk Steps Up Efforts to Cull Federal Work Force


As the #BrokenTimes and #BrokenPost call Trump's extortion a "deal", the #GoodGuardian once again shows them the way, calling it what it is: theft and blackmail.
‘It’s blackmail’: Ukrainians react to Trump demand for $500bn share of minerals
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/22/its-blackmail-ukrainians-react-to-trump-demand-for-500bn-share-of-minerals


The #BrokenTimes Editorial Board has a custom euphemism dictionary, which defines surrenders to fascist Russia as merely a "misguided strategy."
Trump’s Misguided Strategies for Peace in Ukraine https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/opinion/trump-ukraine-russia-republicans.html?smid=tw-share


In the #BrokenTimes totalitarian dictionary, surrender to fascist Russia is a "deal" and extortion of Ukraine is a "feud."

"One characteristic, though, is universally agreed upon: Brutalism is polarizing." In the #BrokenTimes, everything is "polarizing," even Albert Speer.

"Fondness for regal themes." "Likens himself to royalty." No, goddamnit, #BrokenTimes, he leads a totalitarian, fascist coup but you chose to be blind to it and play stenographer and court jester as ever. Stop.
‘Long Live the King’: Trump Likens Himself to Royalty on Truth Social
A fondness for regal themes was apparent as the president applauded his administration’s move to kill congestion pricing in New York.


He "flips the script." No, he surrenders an ally to the enemy. He surrenders to Putin. Baker, of course. #BrokenTimes.

The #BrokenTimes--Lipton and Haberman--are shocked--shocked, I tell you--to find broken norms and corruption in a second Trump administration. This is totalitarianism. Call it that.
With Congress Pliant, an Emboldened Trump Pushes His Business Interests
Norms recognized for decades in Washington by both parties no longer appear to apply to the Trump White House, former prosecutors and ethics lawyers say.

Tragically, this morning brings a bumper crop of #BrokenTimes broken headlines. A 🧵
Start here: Putinist Trump "could grant" Putin his desires--right above a headline about Trump negotiating away Ukraine to Russia without Ukraine or Europe. What willful credulity. 1/

Biden slayed inflation in a pandemic and supply chain crisis and the #BrokenTimes crucified him over the price of eggs.

It is fascism. Calling it "an aggressive flexing of power" fluffs the Führer. Call this what it is, Baker. It is fascism. #BrokenTimes

Editorial Board instructs us: "Don’t get distracted. Don’t get overwhelmed. Don’t get paralyzed and pulled into the chaos."
Ironic, given how the #BrokenTimes is distracted, overwhelmed, and unprepared for the chaos.

O, the never-ending willful credulity and naivete. There is no GOP orthodoxy. That is the essence of a fascist takeover. Read Hannah Arendt, #BrokenTimes.

FFS, the #BrokenTimes is only now *asking* whether we're in a Constitutional crisis. We are way past that, people: deep into totalitarianism, authoritarianism, and fascism. Wake up and smell the torches.
A Constitutional Crisis? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/briefing/a-constitutional-crisis.html?smid=tw-share


Where are Democrats? you ask. Where is the #BrokenTimes in the midst of a fascist takeover? Looking worried is insufficient.

Yow. A third of the almost-11 million subs the #BrokenTimes touts don't even subscribe to its news. Wonder why.
"Of those 10.8 million subscribers, 3.5 million (or 32%) subscribed only to either its Games, Cooking, Wirecutter, Audio or The Athletic products."

With every terrible thing billionaires are doing in the country right now, of course the #BrokenTimes wants to stand apart and ask whether the rich are OK after all. Of course, they're just asking.

"Some" is the most dangerous word in the #BrokenTimes dictionary, for it is used to justify a contrarian defense of racism, as here:

Trump just launched his Crusades with ethnic cleansing and invited terrorist war, but Baker and the #BrokenTimes call it "an improbable idea": "Mr. Trump is advancing ever-more brazen ideas."
Imperialism, totalitarianism, fascism: just ideas the Times will not name.
With Gaza Plan, an Unbound Trump Pushes an Improbable Idea
Once a critic of nation building, the president now envisions taking over a Middle East enclave, driving out its Palestinian population and transforming it into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”


The Republican Party is deep into destroying democracy but rather than covering this totalitarian, fascist coup for what it is, the #BrokenTimes--squirrell!--can't help still bashing the Democratic Party.


FFS, #BrokenTimes, he is not "testing" the Constitution, he is destroying it! "Anyone who believes in the Constitution and honest governance should be worried." Really? You should be way past worry to full alarm!

Good God, the #BrokenTimes can't summon outrage even when it affects them. A "concerning development." No, it is an assault on a free and responsible press and an informed public. It is the intolerable of a totalitarian regimes. Grow gonads, Times.
The New York Times responds to the Pentagon's Trumpy workspace changes by saying "steps designed to impede access are clearly not in the public interest." Here's the full statement:

"This move to expel The Times and other independent, fact-based news outlets from the Pentagon’s press spaces is a concerning development. The Department of Defense has the largest discretionary budget in the government, millions of Americans in uniform under its direction and control of a vast arsenal funded by taxpayers. The Times is committed to covering the Pentagon fully and fairly. Steps designed to impede access are clearly not in the public interest."


Lord, the #BrokenTimes editors are afraid of their own language. "Under scrutiny?" No: targeted, endangered, imperiled, under attack; there are so many better, more forceful ways to present this attack on them.
Which Federal Programs Are Under Scrutiny? The Budget Office Named 2,600 of Them.


The #BrokenTimes #headlies: muffled language for the fascist coup: "powerful indication" "few qualms" "deploying" "perceived enemies." They should be screaming yet they whisper.
Trump Officials Fire Jan. 6 Prosecutors and Plan Possible F.B.I. Purge
The prosecutor firings and a move to scrutinize thousands of F.B.I. agents were a powerful indication that the president has few qualms deploying federal law enforcement to punish perceived enemies.


Trump flooding the zone means "that it is incredibly hard for the media and his critics to keep up." That is a confession of failure by the Times. You knew this is what would happen. You were not prepared. #BrokenTimes

This is irresponsible sensationalism from the #BrokenTimes, which jumps the gun before evidence is in to blame the entire system when it could have been--as it says--the fault of the helicopter.

Fascism as a feature, not a bug. As ever, the #BrokenTimes writes from Trump's perspective, not citizens'. "Defying legal limits" is, AKA, breaking laws. "Sweeping presidential authority" is, AKA, totalitarianism. "Adherents of sweeping presidential authority" is, AKA, fascism.
Defying Legal Limits, Trump Firings Set Up Tests That Could Expand His Power
The prospect of legal challenges to President Trump’s purges may be a feature, not a bug, for adherents of sweeping presidential authority.
