None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Jeez, I wonder why an organization that has people living undercover in hundreds of countries around the world would want to recruit “diverse” individuals? The stupidity is breathtaking. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

Really difficult to take him seriously, after being appointed by an actual convicted felon.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

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.

One of the truly great resignation letters of all time. Emil Bove is engaging in unethical and likely even criminal conduct at the highest levels of DOJ. This is a time for all men and women of principle to stand up while so many in the GOP remain silent. AUSA Scotten is a hero.
