We're screwing our beautiful farmers folks, screwing them on a level that's frankly never been seen, and they're coming up to me with tears in their eyes saying something that isn't "sir"

Regular reminder that this entirely comes down to retirements. I think it's good that old people are able to stop working, and that we have payroll-tax-paying-aged people coming here from around the world to keep things going

DOGE is, in the truest sense, a completely rogue agency. The White House has admitted it doesn't really know what DOGE is doing, it's commandeering critical systems, it's resourced by an independent oligarch, it's tearing chunks out of the government. It's a rogue actor in US government

Excellent, chilling piece by a current OPM employee giving an inside view of the reckless (and frequently illegal) Musk/Trump assault against the federal workforce. slate.com/news-and-pol...
As an OPM employee, I want my fellow federal workers and the American people to know that these emails may be coming from inside the house—but they are not coming from us. We at OPM are just as frustrated, confused, and traumatized as the rest of America. When I started my job at OPM, I swore an oath to the Constitution, and to defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic, making it especially awful that the threat to our government is coming from inside my own office building.

As much as this may be angering Trump, we can also console ourselves with how much the recent Trump-Musk compact is doubtlessly angering JD Vance!

Thank you MAGA for pushing back on Trump's idea to take over Gaza. The idea that we can take it over, get rid of the unexploded bombs, drive out the Palestinians and rebuild it without putting boots on the ground is absurd. MAGA v. Israel Lobby is an epic showdown.
