New — Here is a running list of Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) offices that have either been fully eliminated or gutted into non-functionality as a result of today's mass firings (provided to me directly by a CDC staffer):

moving forward I would like to see dems gum up the works every way possible. No unanimous consent, full votes on every tiny piece of business. I don't expect everyone to have the stamina to do a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but many lengthy floor speeches. Just slow everything down to a crawl.

NEW — This AM former HHS staffers confronted Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) about slashing budgets and staff, per video shared with me by Mack Schroeder, a former Budget Analyst for the Office of the Secretary. Banks tells Schroeder he "probably deserved" to lose his job "because you seem like a clown."

One consequence of tolerating pseudoscience is that people die when its legitimatization becomes baked into our culture, health care systems, and institutions.

JD Vance slams Demark for not doing enough for its citizens, when it provides universal healthcare for all of them when the US does not, and they're ranked the "Happiest Country In the World." The US ranks at the bottom of that list. America is a delusional country that got high on its own supply.

Members of Congress can send official mail via the United States Postal Service without having to pay for stamps. A notice that DOGE gained access to sensitive personal data and recommending steps to mitigate that harm could certainly be official mail. This is an excellent idea:

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and that is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Yesterday, Gabbard testified: “There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal chat.” So the Director of National Intelligence lied to the US Senate.

Top GOP Senator Roger Wicker just called for an investigation into Trump officials for sending classified military plans on Signal and lying about it under oath. This is turning into a massive scandal that even Republicans can’t ignore.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

People keep talking about the security implications of the Hegseth leak. The other issue is they are likely illegally using Signal to bypass mandatory government record keeping. That should be equally as terrifying.

If Dems fail to make Signal leak an incessant story demanding resignations/impeachment, it would be a mirror image of Benghazi, her emails, etc. In face of GOP zone-flooding, Dems cowered instead of calling bullshit; now when GOP says Signal leak is NBD, a failure to push back would be catastrophic.
