Congrats to Trump’s new picks for top military posts for meeting the job description. You don’t have to say yes, you know.

If every federal employee wrote a 250 word summary of their week, given that the avg college educated adult reads about 250 words per minute, to only read every report—not record info, ask Q’s, verify anything, or look up anything—would require over 4,000 people reading nonstop for an entire workday

Ah — people can’t write as accurately about how abortion bans worsen the already low state of maternal health in the U.S. if authorities quit collecting the data.

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.

Post WW1 Germany fell into Nazism because of hyperinflation and economic chaos, America fell into it because of record low unemployment and folks liking to “do their own research.”

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Yeah, these federal workers actually understand what they do for us and how devastating these cuts are for us. It'd be great if the media could explain that clearly instead of taking Elon Musk's word that he's magically produced "savings" that come with no downside.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

It’s “over the top” to write that Trump aims “to resegregate the federal workforce,” I read on the morning after Trump canned the 4-star chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in favor of a retired, but white, 3-star general. LOL. LMFAO. Be _serious_, now.

the reason that the american right are leaning hard into their immorality - which they themselves understand very clearly to be immoral - is, at the bottom of it, they don’t believe in anything.

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

here is the thing about the “argument” that democrats should have run roughshod over the law when they had the chance: it is much easier to break the law to destroy a program than break the law to create one.
