This is very kind but while The Scalzi Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, it is not currently accepting outside charitable donations. I would instead encourage anyone who would want to donate to it to instead find a worthy local organization and donate to them instead.

Lost in some of the outrage over this is that Trump's pick is LITERALLY unqualified. The law says a Chairman has to have been a vice chair, a service chief or held a combatant command. Caine hasn't done any of those and I don't think he was even the senior service general at a combatant command.

It should be hard to be simultaneously evil and comically stupid in equal measure, but here we are.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Pathetic. Make Article I great again.

Fundamentally, our problem is that it is now impossible for the United States to credibly give its word on anything. Trump does not even respect agreements he signed with Canada and Mexico during his first term. If pacts are not binding, you literally can’t do diplomacy.

This is wild. While people like Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth are telling staffers to hold off on replying to Elon Musk’s email blast, the man whom Democrats picked over AOC for House Oversight ranking member tells federal employees to reply to the email.

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

It is Black History Month and each day this month I am sharing stories from Canada's Black history. Today it is the story of Jeremiah Jones. He fought for Canada during the First World War but it took a century for him to receive recognition for his bravery. 🧵1/6

I'm sharing an image a day to celebrate the vibrant and unique culture and history of Canada. Today, it is the giant wooden head that warned people to drive carefully on the highway between Revelstoke and Golden, BC. in 1954. #ProudlyCanadian 📸LAC 4814882

CA won’t comply w/ orders targeting/criminalizing trans people, their families or teachers. CA won’t be part of Trump’s deportation machine. CA won’t avert our eyes in the hope he doesn’t notice us & isn’t antagonized. CA knows you don’t give the bully your lunch money. You punch him in the face.

With Elon’s “tell us what you accomplished last week or you’re fired” emails: I can confirm that he didn’t limit himself to the executive branch. He sent them to employees of the judicial branch as well.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

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.
