If the lessons Democrats (& democrats) draw from DOGE is “right idea, wrong implementation,” we are doomed. Everyone involved in the unprecedented crime that was DOGE needs to go to jail forever, & Democrats need to rebuild all of the programs & agencies first, not do digital management consulting 🤦‍♂️

NITHYA RAMAN’S YEARS IN CHARGE Raman blames Karen Bass for LA’s homelessness crisis. But Raman was chairing the City Council’s homelessness committee before Bass became mayor. She’s had YEARS. If she had the answers, why didn’t she fix it then? She wants us to believe becoming mayor changes that?

He’s absolutely considering ground troops, and actively laying the ground work to make it possible if he ultimately green lights it. His advisors are urging him to ‘finish the job’ after the midterms. They’re trying not to lose any more votes than they’re already going to.

I’ve seen no evidence that’s true. If he did, we likely would have nuked Iran. There’s a lot of misunderstanding of how the ‘codes’ work in reporting surrounding this - POTUS’ voice and the card he keeps in his pocket is all he needs to authenticate a strike. And he has near unilateral authority

I don’t know. Americans are very comfortable in their little houses, with their little jobs making their little salary. I honestly thought there would of been more protests by now. People are just afraid enough not to rock the boat. A see a lot of comments like yours but very little action.

Putin apologists of the right (eg Tucker Carlson) and left (eg Noam Chomsky) got what they wanted: a U.S. government that treats the war as not Russia’s fault, cuts military support for Ukraine, and pressures Ukraine to give up land in exchange for the Kremlin’s word. It has not resulted in peace.
