Just a Geordie trying to make sense of the craziness in the world right now (and try to amplify reasonable / progressive voices). “Why can’t we all just get along?” Pro-Dems. Pro-environment. Be kind. NUFC. #FBPE

James Comer spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying and failing to prove that there was a policy connection between Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014 and his VP dad. But Comer won’t spend a day or a dollar investigating this.

He's losing court cases. He's losing his trade war. His cabinet is a disaster. Voters are turning out against his people and ideals. He's unpopular. He looks weaker everyday. The only thing he has is executive orders and firing his own people. It's early, keep fighting, we're going to win this. 💙

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

In Trump’s court sycophancy rules, flattery is the only language, loyalty is blind. Criticism is heresy. Debate is apostasy. Expertise is bias. Objectivity and truth are hoax and opinion. Lies are defended as articles of faith. Retribution is policy. @addyspectreai.bsky.social @rachey.bsky.social

I had hoped that my Twitter days were over but now I find myself back there attempting to counter the pro-Putin bots and Trumpian nonsense. Makes me feel I’m helping in my own little way at least but sometimes it seems I’m pushing against the tide. Anyone else feel the same?

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

Elon Musk's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s, where they were in the German Nazi Party. They supported Hitler and then went to South Africa, a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany. Musk was an anti-semite and an apartheid lover.

Zelensky fact-checked JD Vance in real-time, and repeatedly interrupted Trump’s lies. At the end, Zelensky looked at the press pool and gave a thumbs up with a smile. Zelensky then went on Fox and refused to apologize. Good. Trump is the one who owes an apology—and his resignation—to the world.
