No matter what side of the aisle you are on, you should be appalled that a billionaire thinks he has the right to buy elections like this.

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

"A government contractor and lobbyist who served in President Donald Trump’s first administration bought Vice President JD Vance’s Virginia home in an above-market deal, a sale his spokesperson says was based on the market." $170,000 ABOVE ASKING PRICE

Lobbyist And Government Contractor Bought JD Vance’s Home For $170,000 Over Asking Price
The buyer, a Trump appointee during his first term, denies any political motive—calling the $1.9 million deal purely market-driven.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

And there it is. Putin’s lifelong dream. After years of relentless Russian propaganda, now fully embraced by the American president and the world’s richest oligarch, millions of Americans are convinced that this is a good plan because Europe is an enemy and Putin is our friend.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

You’re fighting a losing battle. He will never care that he’s been belittled by people with souls. We use this as a “haha” moment when they will never come back. The state run media will spin this into Lil Marco being a tough guy. Focus energy Zelensky. He was the guy with a spine.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

SpaceX, which holds billions of dollars in government contracts, was penalized by the FAA for ignoring regulations. In response, Musk pushed for the resignation of the agency’s chairman.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

An Elon Musk staffer misused the U.S. Marshals Service by falsely invoking their authority to intimidate. USAID security personnel were threatened with action by the federal Marshals Service.

When Biden won in 2020 and we went through all the turmoil, I knew deep down we’d only bought ourselves a little time. They were never going to stop. The coup had only been pushed back a few years. I’m sickened today but never surprised. It’s going to take a painful period to recover.

Just watched Ready Player One for the millionth time and finally understand why GenX is destroyed right now. We’ve grown up with Spielberg and the inherent belief that good guys always win. It’s baked into our DNA. We never considered that bad guys could triumph. That’s my Ted Talk.
