I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

I am not looking for Trump voters to apologize for their votes or to do some sort of public self-flagellation. I am just looking for them to quietly realize they screwed up and to act accordingly going forward. Come on, you can do it. And I welcome you to the cause of democracy and decency.

Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Trump is bulldozing the Education Department, which helps homeless and disabled kids gain access to school, while he does a car commercial at the White House for the richest man in the world. Robber barons are waging class warfare on the rest of us.

"President Trump took time out of his busy day today - from tanking the stock markets, inflaming trade wars with our allies, threatening to annex more sovereign territories - to produce a car infomercial for his largest campaign donor and fellow Nazi enthusiast, Elon Musk."

I think people are extremely on edge, and horrified by how quickly society has slipped into this banal techno-fascism, and scared about how far it will go, and that makes people brittle and impatient, and if I were a better person I would extend grace to people because of that, but, you know, I’m me

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Kids are dying of measles. Egg prices are skyrocketing. Bird flu is out of control. Planes are falling out of the sky. Inflation is rising. Tariffs are coming. Consumer confidence is collapsing. A recession is now likely. The stock market is dropping. Donald Trump is golfing.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just 🤷‍♂️

I’m still so angry with MAGA family. If I purposefully let a dangerous felon into their home and he committed a burglary, they would never forgive me. Well, that’s what they’ve done to the People’s House, and Trump/Musk are taking everything I hold sacred and dear.

If tomorrow’s headline read, “Putin is the new head of DOGE,” I would barely raise an eyebrow. It’s all so egregious I can’t even be shocked anymore!
