I'm dying here 😂

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

They were careless people, Trump and Musk — they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that held them together.

Musk claims he discovered that millions of dead people have been paid trillions of dollars in social security money, but Mike Johnson had the House take the week off instead of investigating this extremely serious allegation. If this is true, why are House Rs taking a week off?

Oh my god. I mean I’m not surprised but Jesus Christ, it’s just so dumb.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Leavitt claims Elon Musk and DOGE "suspect there are tens of millions of deceased people who are receiving fraudulent social security payments" and says they will soon dig into the books "If you pay into the system *honestly*, you will continue to receive your social security checks," she adds.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

We’re gonna keep our democracy almost for sure but they’re gonna hurt so many people with the shit they’re doing in the meantime

Took a look at Schumer's account. The Democrats are basically the French in 1940 and Field Marshall Gamelin doesn't have a radio in his headquarters.

"nobody even knows where the [national debt] money went and you’re not allowed to ask." Huh? Its all public record at OMB, CBO, & Treasury websites, which I've also used to publish 600 reports, articles, & chart books specifying where all the money went. You can log off Twitter and go look it up!

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

🤷🏻

If anyone whines that we "self-segregated ourselves from X" and "aren't in the conversation anymore," feel free to show them this screenshot of my "For You" tab.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

It is wild to me how out of sync the Dispatch has become. Just no mentions of the biggest news stories of the week. Lots of talk of both sides. Active praise of Trump. Just insane. Used to be my favorite podcast and publication.

Honestly at this point the Democrats should be filibustering everything.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.
