Trump just said DOGE is headed by Elon Musk? That’s going to be awkward for the court filings in which they specifically said he wasn’t in charge.

Thanks to vaccines, Measles was declared eliminated from the United States in 2000 because there was no continuous spread for over a year. Fast forward 25 years: anti-vaxers hosting measles parties are sending their own kids to the hospital. smh

Today was a grim, terrible day for the United States and the cause of democracy. Putin, along with other dictators around the world, can finally look at Trump with confidence and think: one of us. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

We thought we won the Cold War. Putin’s Russia kept fighting. Today’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky felt like confirmation that we are now politically a Russian vassal state.

Recently I’be been thinking about an impassioned essay I wrote in a high school history class in which I argued that the confederate states had the right to secede. It’s been a very long time since I thought maybe that dumb kid made a valid argument.

Donald Trump is running the government like a business that’s run by your uncle who spends most of his time watching TV and eating junk food while his hyperactive pet poodle runs around the house all day and night barking and peeing on everything.

Buying votes is the sort of thing that’s normally frowned upon. “The governor’s office confirmed that allowing Fonfara to serve on PURA was an element of the deal. Fonfara sits on the Executive and Legislative Nominations Committee and his support was crucial to Gillett’s nomination.” #CTPolitics

Since the CT legislative process is busy kicking my ass. I’ve decided on a brief strategic retreat to the home office and cranking the volume up to eleven.

It is astonishing that Trump’s perspective on the Russian invasion of Ukraine is that Russia is bigger and more powerful, therefore they deserve to win the war. At his core he is utterly amoral.

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

Step 1: Buy less stuff. Step 2: Get off your butt and go to your local bookstore, clothing store, hardware store & etc to buy the stuff that you do need. Step 3: repeat step 1.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

As a child in the 1970’s I was a fan of the Minnesota Twins. They were owned by Calvin Griffith and were a joke of a club. Then he departed and they won the World Series. This is the best explanation I have for why I am a @tottenhamhotspur.com fan today. #THFC #COYS

Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.

For a brief moment there, somewhere between the fall of the Soviet Union and 9/11, things were going pretty well. That was the sweet spot. Then we went and fucked it all up.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
