Budanov must be having some dark thoughts and contingency-planning some wicked ops. 😬

Everyone seems to be waiting on saviors, messiahs. This is not a strategy.

Nobody: Nobody else: Absolutely nobody: Democratic consultants:

“Letter of inquiry” huh. Now why does that sound familiar?

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

“The history of the present King … is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.” — Declaration of Independence

Lora's good: USDS, CFPB, etc too

Enough with the fucking eggs guys. Eggs won’t balance my brain chemistry or teach my child about civil rights or keep national parks open or take over the federal election commission for that matter

people who think there's a grand negotiating strategy behind annexation threats

@juliusgoat.bsky.social

This is a concerning milestone. Bringing new investigations and prosecutions is different than just dismissing cases against allies.

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

I have a hypothesis, an untested gut feeling even, that whatever they discuss and decide, the peace for our time it will be not.

The #TeslaTakedown protestors are right about something big: -Musk is more vulnerable than Trump, and at the moment arguably more dangerous -The way to get to Musk is through his businesses. His power stems from his extreme wealth, and his wealth relies on the *perception* of his companies' value.

Counterpoint: God-kings are bad

Walking around Paris and seeing all the giant palaces gave me a real, down-to-my-bones understanding for 1789. The Hermitage gave me that for 1917. I’m getting those vibes now at home in the US in 2025. Not great!

Have we tried rebooting the 21st century?

There’s a toxic idea lurking in Wurman and Barnett’s deeply anti-constitutional op-ed. If citizenship is some kind of prize you receive at birth for your parents “allegiance,” then it would stand to reason that parental disloyalty would work as an attainder or corruption of blood.

🇺🇸🚫 Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs, - CNN

Ferociously brave Ukrainian emergency workers inspecting Chernobyl's confinement shield after a Russian drone strike hit the nuclear plant last. They're not just doing it for Ukraine. They're doing it to protect all of Europe from potentially catastrophic radiation leaks. We are in Ukraine's debt.

I've found Chinese high altitude electrical worker xiaohongshu and it's hitting my buttons way more than mecha ever did. Megascale infrastructure, jumpsuits, harnesses, feats of daring.. all it needs is butches... www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile...

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)

like, this is just fucking insane. the government is pretending that it passed the Inverse Civil Rights Act overnight and everyone is acting like it's a real law.

Does anybody read messages you write back to political fundraising texts? I hope so.

Never forget what russia has done to Mariupol. There can be no lasting peace in Europe without justice for this. It's either peace through strength and accountability, or more wars through appeasement and concessions. No third way.

This is true on some level for sure, but folks, bar discipline is not gonna save us

I feel like we have a term for this Awesome orders Cool orders Rad orders No… Superior orders

Actually this is cool - they're afraid of SH lawsuits - which I assume means Delaware Caremark claims. Bc post merger it's expected that there will still be public SHs. And the public SHs are already furious about the merger and suing - they could add "illegally bribed to get it done" to the claims

Happy Birthday to Frederick Douglass who would by very disappointed in all of this BS but would never, ever stop fighting (or getting his photo taken)

Eric Adams line prosecutor Hagan Scotten, resigning rather than filing "dismissal-with-leverage" motion: "I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me." Via @NYTimes.com https://buff.ly/4hVJGLX

We have a winner. This man got two Bronze stars in Iraq and clerked for Justice Roberts: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion [to dismiss Adams charges]. But it was never going to me.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Spineless lickspittle coward.

Seems like an opportune time to announce a shadow Cabinet and draw very sharp distinctions between the parties.

Purging the woke social justice warriors who... *checks notes*... make sure we have working nuclear weapons.

this is a good example of the attitude that has led democrats down the road to disaster. it rests on the belief that public opinion cannot be shaped or mobilized or moved, only reacted to

Everyone should take a moment to carefully read Danielle Sassoon's crystal clear letter to AG Bondi regarding Emil Bove's direction to dismiss the indictment against Mayor Eric Adams. ⬇️ www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.
