So now diversity is good?

Before landing at DHS, Fugate worked on the Trump campaign and interned at The Heritage Foundation. According to his LinkedIn profile, the bulk of his leadership experience comes from having served as secretary general of a Model United Nations club. By @hannahallam.bsky.social‬

Same guy who downplayed elon’s nazi salute

Here's a painful parlor game: NYC Dem mayoral candidates on the "most effective" Dem in the country today: Stringer: Hakeem Jeffries Blake: Me Mamdani: Michelle Wu Tilson: Cory Booker Cuomo: Hakeem Jeffries Myrie: Andrea Stewart-Cousins Ramos: Wes Moore Lander: Michelle Wu A. Adams: Hakeem Jeffries

Darren Beattie - the State Dept official who dismantled the US government's main center for fighting Russian and Chinese propaganda around the world - turns out to have personal ties to the Russian elite. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Same guy who tells us people only wanna hear about kitchen table issues. Feel like neighbors abducted by masked agents is closer to the kitchen table than relations with Iran. Then again AIPAC gotta get that return on investment!

I honestly don’t know if 2nd Amendment people will be happy or mad that he couldn’t get a gun

Asked about a Dem response to a Rep. Nadler aide being handcuffed by DHS agents inside his congressional office — @RepJeffries: “We will respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing… it will be continuous and it will meet the moment.” BASH: “What does that mean?”

$19.4 million. That’s how much taxpayers have spent so far to defend Andrew Cuomo and his staff in three lawsuits brought by women who allege they were sexually harassed by the ex-governor. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/02/c...

What’s sad to me is that Democrats are so inept at messaging and politicking that they’ll do nothing with this and she’ll keep her Iowa seat

This and I’d say his Nazism

Same guy whose rocket just exploded after takeoff 3 days ago, right?

Solid investigative reporters at NYT provide cover for terrible, misleading political news reporting (redefining crime, critics say…)

This is such a good example of "turn every page" journalism - nothing less fun/glam than clicking through every footnote. And it's roughly 10,000x more newsy than the thumbsucker RFK profiles reported with big travel budgets.

This is plain wrong. He is trying to use the most recent SCOTUS definition which twisted in its logic. Last I checked, Lipton is not a judge, not a lawyer, but a reporter and should be using the normal person’s standard English dictionary definition of corruption. This is deliberately misleading

To be this gullible as to think savings or deficit reduction (ha!) was ever a goal is to also be so gullible as to believe he’s stepping away from his influence on the highest level of government. Somehow their words are always unquestionably taken at face value even though they lie ALL THE TIME

we have failed as a society to train people to communicate, the way we teach students to write (when we bother to) is the most bland, anodyne crap, all while making them go to college for reasons that even we can't explain beyond "you need it to get a job." Kids don't get why they're going.

Trump is selling the White House at a rate of roughly $1 billion a month (!) - the biggest scandal in US history, 10X worse than Watergate This needs a name: Cryptogate This needs a complete guide, which I've written This needs us to demand action My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

The ABA’s “bias” is the same as every bias the GOP claims. They nominate the dumbest, most unqualified - though ideologically aligned - people for everything and get mad when they are regularly, rightfully called out. It’s why everything gets worse when they’re in charge

He’s describing having a job. He’s whining about having to do work at a job. Funny that you never hear a “DEI” hire complain so much about simply doing their job

NEW: First, diplomats warned what will happen if we halt aid to the rest of world. Now they are telling the Trump Administration what is actually happening: death, crime, sexual violence, trafficking. www.propublica.org/article/trum... @brettmurpsych.bsky.social & @annamaria.bsky.social:

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

No one should be surprised Trump vastly overestimated the size of his… plane

A scandal worse than watergate… which he chose not to report on so he could put it in a book. Something doesn’t add up 🧐
