Here’s the thing about the White House banishing the AP that makes me crazy How does the rest of the White House press corps not understand that the AP is a proxy for *all the rest of them?

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

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. 🧵⬇️

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

When SpaceX’s Starship blew up in January, Musk called it “barely a bump in the road,” brushing off the FAA’s concerns. Yet during the accident, dozens of airplanes scrambled to avoid debris. Pieces of the craft were later found on beaches and roads.
