Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.

There's no longer any denying it. The US and Russia are now allies, aligned against Europe. And we need to scramble like mad to work out what to do.

Again, it is almost certainly the case agencies are telling employees they don't have to respond to Elon's 5 bullets email bc in sloppy attempt to win a lawsuit, OPM claimed responding to that email is strictly voluntary, after which claim became binding policy. www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/24/h...

I replied elsewhere with this, but I want to get this out to as many folks as possible. Why is it republicans are willing to put the welfare of senior citizens on the table when talking about Social Security cuts, but they NEVER mention lifting the salary cap on Social Security (currently set […]

One reason Trump is doing this is bc Trump has failed to come close to meeting his deportation promises. If that were to become a bigger narrative--if the mob learned that he was diverting NatSec resources yet is falling behind Sleepy Joe Biden's deportation numbers--Trump'd be in trouble.
