Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

All the headlines right now are "important government official who manages a key system keeping you safe resigns" or "Trump makes friends with the country that wants to kill Americans the most"

Tom Homan asks “where is that line,” as if it is mysterious or unknowable. It’s not. Tom’s saying it that way because he’s too much of a coward just to say “she should be arrested for telling people their rights.” Also, to be fair, he may be too dim to understand the line.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

It's striking the extent to which there's never any justification given for any of this beyond "it's too many people" or "it's actually fake" and no apparent planning behind any of it. It's the aesthetics of "move fast and break things" without any discernible direction or purpose. It's cosplay.

CBS Evening News covers so many more news topics–in much more depth–in one episode than David Muir’s ABC Nightly News does in one episode. Should’ve switched a long time ago, but it was just habit. Added benefit of not having to change the channel for Wheel of Fortune afterwards. 😉

Ok, so they also hated Jon Batiste’s performance of the national anthem. You could understand the words perfectly fine. Not disrespecting the flag at all—to the contrary. Still trying to figure out what the commonality it is. More research needed.

James Comer had 2 years to dig into all this supposed govt corruption that Musk is “discovering.” That’s what Oversight Committee is supposed to do. Instead, he spent 2 years on Hunter Biden - which resulted in nothing except a James Comer book deal.

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is on its face a violation the equal protection of the laws.
