I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Trump is NOT leading. He's hurting Americans out of pure spite. That's not being a president; it's being a thug, and it's abuse of power. The 25th Amendment covers this: "The president must be removed from office if they are unable to carry out their constitutional duties due to poor judgment."

Trump just helped bring Andrew Tate — who is literally charged with rape and human trafficking — into our country.

@mcfaulmike.bsky.social: “Trump, Vance & others either have forgotten or never knew that Zelensky signed a ceasefire agreement with Putin in 2019. Three years later, Putin launched his full-scale invasion. So, signing another ceasefire with no security guarantees feels like suicide for Ukrainians.”

By cutting funding for USAID Elon Musk and Donald Trump are probably condemning one million children to die of starvation 200,000 to be paralyzed because they’ll likely contract polio And up to 18 million cases of malaria per year Which could cause another 166,000 deaths Pure unadulterated evil

Very very difficult to digest. Today all day my family’s friends who remained in Ukraine are calling and saying goodbye as the bombing got way worse all day and night. Horrible. Worse than anytime within the past 3 years.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

Starmer to Zelenskyy: You are very very welcome here in Downing Street. As you heard from the cheers outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom.

No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today. Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

Just a heads up for the Orange County folks, I’ll be at the 50501 anti-fascism gathering in front of Irvine City Hall tomorrow (Sunday March 2nd) from 2-4. I might even speak! Swing by to say hi, talk football, or just generally speak out against the direction our country is going.

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.

It occurs to me that not everyone knows how to get to Sugarbush, the ski resort JD Vance is visiting. It’s a great mountain, but even if you don’t ski, it’s a beautiful drive to get there, especially on a clear day like tomorrow. You can get directions here. You’re welcome!

With very few exceptions, people who voted for Trump in November (many for the third time) who do begin to come around enough to move them to action, will not have had their humanity awakened by seeing how much damage he is doing to so many people. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-trump-s...

As we wake up this morning, one guy is golfing in Mar A Lago, another guy is on vacation skiing in VT, and then the only guy who is working to defend Ukraine, America, Democracy, and freedom is today meeting with European leaders before going back to a war zone. Zelenskyy is a hero.

Sometime in oh, 2019, 2020, when Marco Rubio was quoting Bible verses that were apropos of…nothing, I said on X that had he been in Castro’s Cuba he totally would have been an informer for the regime. Right wing trolls lambasted me (bc he’s Cuban and you can’t say that, I guess). Am I wrong?

Key points and statements from President Zelenskyy's interview to Fox News: ◾️Ukrainians want peace more than anyone. ◾️Ukrainians need peace through strength, with security guarantees, not just a ceasefire that Putin will violate like he already has done with numerous earlier ceasefires.

My thoughts: having been in quite a few diplomatic discussions, JD Vance’s comment on Zelenskyy hosting “propaganda tours for world leaders to ask for money” was a planned one. Going in, US knew Zelenskyy won’t sign anything without security guarantees, this theater was needed to reason US’ exit

Today, the current occupant of the White House and his lap dog @JDVance tried to act tough. Zelenskyy made it clear to the world how weak they are. They have reduced the United States position to be nothing more than Putin or bust. Zelenskyy smartly chose to go home.

Just so we are clear - the reason why JD Vance has constantly refused to go to Ukraine is because he is a coward. He would NEVER go there and meet with their soldiers or talk with their leaders. Because their courage and integrity would show him for what he is - a sniveling jerk.
