Pete Hegseth is treating death and cruelty as entertainment. The news of a livestreamed execution for the Fort Hood murderer is beneath our military. I have no sympathy for Nidal Hasan, he massacred 13 innocent people in '09, but justice is solemn, it shouldn't be a spectacle. Link below ⬇️

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

One way of looking at yesterday is that Trump forgot the lesson of the law firms and universities. Go after one country at a time and that country is in a jam. Go after literally every country in the world at once, including the penguin countries, and you’re in the jam.

This is the dance. Accuse an agency of being inefficient or corrupt. Cut employees and needed contracts. Cause it to fail more than kill the whole thing. USAID and CFPB are just the start.

As long as Elon Musk is running his mouth about Social Security—which he appears to be trying to understand in real-time—I’ll note that DOGE has yet to find a single instance of fraud across the entire government, as I reported for @atrupar.com this week. www.publicnotice.co/p/despite-th...

Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud
All they've really got is "spending that Elon Musk doesn't like."
