I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

They lacked courage when it was most needed from them. #shutitdown

There was a time where in spite of our faults, and there are many, the United States served as an example to the world. Now we simply serve as a warning.

In any other era, the Secretary of Defense threatening to invade an ally and one of our largest trade partners would be front page news for days. It’s not even the stupidest, most reckless thing this administration has done this afternoon. apple.news/AG-YEzrFtQlG...

We are but a reflection of you, Dear Leader.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Elon Musk paid less for the United States government than he did for Twitter. Remarkable how low the bidding was.

Great point.

Oregon’s #50501 protest at the Capitol: youtu.be/7TFKS4Gv6JY

trump won’t wreck the Super Bowl. The NFL has hated him for decades, and they still don’t like him. He’s going for the attention and he’ll get it with boos and being upstaged by Taylor Swift and her entourage. It won’t be pleasant for him, and he’ll complain because he’s a thin-skinned prat.

The Gaza thing is so asinine that I suspect it’s a ploy to take the heat off Elon Musk’s illegal activities while we chase a ridiculous squirrel. Important not to lose focus here.

Scene at Treasury

I'm struck by the near-total failure of leadership across civil society, in a country that fetishizes the concept. Whole sections of leadership books at every bookstore. Named, endowed "leadership" institutes and curricula across higher ed. Awards and special recognition for "leaders." AND YET

Army Blackhawk helicopters are crashing into passenger planes at DCA while the Secretary of Defense is on Fox News ranting about DEI

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

Detroit has given this away. Just wow. #NFLPlayoffs

I’m not entirely sure why so many Trump supporters are upset about the inauguration moving indoors to the Capitol and their tickets becoming commemorative. I mean, the whole world saw that you know how to get in that building.

Dear MAGA, With Trump inviting the TIKTOK CEO, you can now shut up about China. It is clear Trump is absolutely NOT concerned with China and their spying

Ugh. It’s not halftime yet but this looks like it’s over. Roasted duck for New Year’s brunch today. Very disappointing after the season they had. #RoseBowl
