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

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.

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.

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.

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.
