Our latest episode is out, and we had a ball introducing our new co-host, Bill! Come check it out.

Any else get the email from Google saying they’re going to stop all software support for the last 12 year’s worth of nest thermostats? Come *on*!

Every hour that Pete Hegseth remains in his role, America is less safe. Call your Representative now and tell them it’s time to #FireHegseth (202) 224-3121

I want to give a shout out to the rest of the crew at @criticaldefiance.com for all the hard work they do to make our little podcast possible. Give 'em a follow if you can!

Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi says she is going against corrupt judges. In case you wonder why she hasn’t gone after the *most* corrupt, Clarence Thomas, there is a professional courtesy between lawyers who take bribes.

Our latest episode is up!

“Voters didn’t turn out for Democrats last November — not because they don’t want us to fight for our values, but because they think we don’t want to fight for our values. We need to knock off the rust of poll-tested language, decades of stale decorum.” —JB Pritzker

Chosen family isn't just a lifeline in tough times—it's a testament to the bonds we build, not by blood, but by love and resilience. Here's to those who remind us that we're never truly alone. 💕

A charity tied to Gov. Ron DeSantis’s wife, Casey DeSantis, gave $10 million to nonprofit political committees that helped the governor defeat a ballot measure.

JUST IN: The ACLU has added Andry Hernandez Romero, the openly gay barber/makeup artist, as lead plaintiff in its D.C.-based class action against the Alien Enemies Act. They say the US has "constructive custody" over those held in El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I am on team productive insomnia for the win.

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

Our latest podcast episode is out. Proud of this one.

i’m just going to say it. JD vance met with the pope on easter. pope died the next morning? that’s no coincidence

Poor Pete Hegseth. It looks like he gave up drinking for nothing.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about strikes in Yemen to a second unclassified Signal group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said. nyti.ms/4jBQ1wV

Dolly is a gem!! 💖

In addition to giving the contract to himself and so stealing public money the very concept of this thing is a crazy level boondoggle www.reuters.com/business/aer...

I feel like this is going to become a series…🤔 AGAIN, this is a real tweet posted by the official White House government account. Yes, really.

🚨PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT🚨

The discussion in this one is going to be great!

The Critical Defiance family is growing, and we couldn't be more proud. Check us out on the web!

One of the most concerning trends under the new regime is the deletion of history and data that swept government online resources. Is it just the beginning?

Good little episode about the mass deletions, data purges, and revisionism going on at the federal level. Loved doing it.

Hey! I helped write that!

This story is insane. The Trump administration is trying to blackmail Amazon by withholding government contracts unless they delist books critical of Trump. This is a blatant violation of the 1st amendment. @davidpakman.bsky.social @briantylercohen.bsky.social youtu.be/cXMfrM_7ICE

BREAKING: I’m demanding answers from the White House and Office of Government Ethics about whether anyone in the Trump family or administration profited off of this tariff chaos through insider trading.

Dipshit.

Medical marijuana isn’t enough I need to smoke these

U.S. markets swung wildly this morning on an unsubstantiated report that President Trump was considering a 90-day pause to his tariffs. The White House has not announced any policy change, and later called the report “FAKE NEWS” on X.

GTFOH. If they do, we hit the streets (before they can EO their insurrection act on 4/20-next March is 4/19). There are 340M of us. This admin does not follow the law and are pure evil.

It's said in the thread but it bears repeating: if these jokers dumped even a fraction of the money they're pumping into this shit into actual wolf conservation, we might have some actual hope for the continuation of the species here in the US. But no sure let's do memewolf instead, why not.
