They hide behind ski masks or balaclavas, wearing no badge, sloppy clothes. They threaten anyone who asks for ID or warrant with arrest, leave little kids alone in cars and push around 80-year-old congresswomen Why are ICE agents such cowardly wusses? My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Here is the top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?”

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President. I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. /1

I want to take a step back for a moment to put this week’s budget resolution vote into context for all of you. It was the first step that Trump needs to enact his cruel, pro-billionaire agenda. ⬇️

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

Yes, this Cabinet — with a Fox & Friends drunk, a Real World airhead, a former heroin addict who beheaded a whale, a dog killer, a Russian stooge, a scandal-plagued wrestling executive, etc — this Cabinet is LITERALLY the best America has ever had. Thank you for that insight, Elon. Smart as ever.

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

"European officials believe Trump is likely to agree to withdraw US troops from the Baltics and perhaps further west, leaving the EU vulnerable to a Russian army that Nato governments warn is preparing for a larger conflict beyond Ukraine."

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Guys I’m really confused. I reread the Bible yesterday and didn’t see any mention of cancelling foreign aid, letting people die, letting people starve, or closing the borders to migrants in need. It didn’t even say to abandon our citizens seeking healthcare. Is it possible MAGA never read it?

By the way "The Big Short" is mandatory viewing IMO. It's dramatized so if you're looking for a documentary on the 2008 financial crisis you can probably do better but it very much captures the important lessons of how soulless and STUPID big money people are.
