The only sensible response to J.D. Vance‘s speech in Munich would be to shut down X in Europe. Because that seems to be the thing he was sent to fight, with threats and insults. He just said what Elon had told him to. If X loses Europe, it‘s decline to obsolescence gets steeper.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Some people have questioned whether the IRS would still do audits given the personnel cuts. Yes it will -- if you're a political opponent or an opposition journalist. And you will fail those audits. This is only part of the "retribution" we were promised

That guy is Executive Director, Naval Sea Systems Command. He's basically the guy in charge of making sure the boats are good boats. And he has to send a frantic email out telling everybody to treat DOGE like a phishing attack.

There’s this idea that a bunch of white women who work for the government voted for Trump, but there’s pretty clear data that college-educated professional white women - which is what federal workers are - reliably vote Democrat. cawp.rutgers.edu/news-media/p...

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...
