DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

been thinking a lot about this quote lately “There must have been a moment, at the beginning, where we could have said -- no. But somehow we missed it.” ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Bunch people accused me of misinformation saying they’re targeting the disease not the people with the disease. I’d like to ask: you think autism and ADHD and neurodivergence is a disease? And why exactly (and how exactly) do you think it’s ok to reduce the number of people with these conditions?

This framing is so important to help people understand that eugenics is driving what RFK, Jr. is doing. And it's not just autism and ADHD; they believe that anyone disabled is "less than" and thus hurting America.

From Perversion of Justice by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social a good reminder of what law enforcement means when they say they care about sex trafficking

It’s not hyperbole to say that American science is being destroyed before our eyes.

Any potential budget savings from Musk’s acts will be more than offset by the legal bills and settlement payments to all of the federal workers who were wrongly fired.

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

🚨NEW RESULTS (w/ Slattery & @wnober.bsky.social) When gov't engineers retire, projects take longer & costs (& cost overruns) go up. It’s harder to manage projects well w/ reduced staffing. Important to remember as DOGE cuts: reduced staffing can actually hurt efficiency. Paper: tinyurl.com/yvy2jt93

Congratulations to Canada for their victory in the Four Nations Face Off!

If you make a single trans friend and listen to them the entire transphobic argument collapses

This goes for anyone. No one will judge you for growing and changing your stance, however history will judge you for remaining complicit.

1. Despite Republican attacks in recent years, America is queerer than ever before. LGBTQ+ identification has risen to 9.3% in the last Gallup Poll, a huge jump from 7.6% last year. I cover the latest numbers in my story. Subscribe to support my journalism.

A critical thing to remember about Jonestown is that many people refused to drink the KoolAid. They were shot by Jim Jones' armed goons anyways

A man who wrote the blueprint for jailing Trump’s enemies was just confirmed as his personal enforcer. McConnell voted yes. The GOP isn’t asleep—they’re building the gallows. If Americans choose a wait and see approach, they will regret it.
