I know from experience growing up in Brazil: this authoritarian regime may consolidate, but one day it will come to an end; and when that day comes, the people acting like Columbia's administrators are going to look terrible.

Surprising to hear that a government formed exclusively of a country’s most stupid people isn’t really working out.

This story should dominate the news cycle for a while, but that won't happen on its own. Democrats have got to keep asking the big questions: -- Why were they making war plans on a third-party app? -- What other plans have been mishandled this way? -- What vulnerabilities are exposed in all this?

The much bigger news story no one will pay attention to today is Trump in a presser openly pressuring the Fed to lower interest rates

Oh, right. If you mention the Atlantic piece in your call, don’t forget to hit “I don’t feel safe!!!” as hard as you can. Scared people act. They know this, they’ve gotten elected based on this. Use it against them.

Democratic Party: pls take heed. Bernie & AOL are making themselves available to the public. They're listening. They aren't merely expressing "outrage" & "shock." They're offering solutions. The rally crowds are growing exponentially. People are starving for true opposition w/ plans not platitudes.

Wow. "The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

DOGE is planning to close or shrink 47 Social Security field offices even as they make it harder to access benefits by phone. Here's a list, courtesy of AP. Public pressure on and by members of Congress seems to work in getting DOGE-SSA to back down. apnews.com/article/soci...

Had to re-up a prescription, check CVS and it had raised the price. Checked @costplusdrugs.com, and it was now... half the price of what CVS is now charging (last I had checked they were about equal, but now Cost Plus lowered the price a lot while CVS raised it). Moved the prescription.

Important note about this breakthrough: Literally would not exist without the kind of Federal support the current administration is slashing. Took 15+ years of research at a federal lab (Lawrence Berkeley) to get this to a point at which private enterprise could take over and make these at scale.

The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.
