If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.

Hunch: The cuts in NIH indirect research costs will cause a real backlash. It's not just that medical research will be hurt. Those funds support many people of all incomes directly and indirectly. And the suddenness and lack of consultation makes it seem arbitrary, as it was.

My take, essentially, is that we could be weeks or maybe even days away from the disintegration of the rule of federal law in this country. At some point this administration is going to stop obeying court orders. What then? Nothing good.

He's running our country like one of his casinos, where the lights and the noise keep people from noticing the grime (and the crime) all around them, and where the free buffet and the chance at a big payoff are designed to make people forget that the house always wins.

“[2024] is expected to end with a nearly 16% drop in homicides …. “The three consecutive years of declining homicides come in the wake of a 30% jump in murders between 2019 and 2020, the largest single-year increase in more than a century.” abcnews.go.com/amp/US/unite...

In 2023, the number of murders fell at the steepest rate ever recorded, according to FBI data. That trend may be continuing, according to data from a mix of sources covering most or part of 2024. In some major cities, the numbers are at or below what they were before the pandemic.

I was glad to be invited onto @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social this morning to talk about Syria. The show is one of the most important platforms in US politics. With Trump threatening to jail his critics, small d-democrats must stand together. I always speak freely without fear anywhere I appear.

The POTUS does not get to “appoint” an FBI director. The FBI is an apolitical agency. Every single employee—save 1–is a career employee. The director is the only appointee and he serves a 10 year term for the explicit purpose of making him apolitical.
