I’m Jewish and the son of Jewish refugees who immigrated to America, so some might accuse me of seeing antisemitism where it doesn’t exist. So it’s sadly reassuring to see that the great historian Timothy Snyder saw the Oval Office debacle the way I did: open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Sounds like Trump’s team spent a lot of the day trying to placate panicked GOP members of Congress. Republicans are freaking out about the market, a potential recession, and midterms. Ray Charles could have seen this coming.

The Trump administration is dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because Musk and Trump's other billionaire friends don’t like the agency and its work to protect consumers and their rights. Contact Congress and tell them to save CFPB! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

A recession isn’t inevitable yet, but if the administration continues on its current path, it’s more likely than not. Most MAGA influencers aren’t old enough to remember the real economic pain from the 2008 recession, but I hope someone is advising him to rethink this trade war.

Our allies are already hesitant about sharing intelligence with us. Does anyone actually think this is a good thing, that this makes us more safe? Americans supposedly voted for egg prices? We got worse egg prices and worse everything else while we’re at it.

All is well: "The state's surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, sent a letter to parents at the school on Tuesday, notifying them of the case -- but the Florida Department of Health official stopping short of advocating typical guidelines for school exposures."

RP‼️ ATTENTION VETERANS DOGE plans to cut VA contracts. “No properly functioning X-ray machines means no functioning VA hospitals.” ~Rachel Maddow “They’re trying to push veterans into community care by doing everything they can to make the VA mission fail.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

This was always the math - it didn’t need a CBO scoring for people to realize this, but hopefully now they’ll wake up. The GOP is going after Medicaid and Medicare to give their rich friends a tax cut. Full stop.

Who will these “armed services” be used on? Americans? Who will the homeland security budget target in work hours of surveillance? Americans? Is this a bought and paid for judiciary, meant to enforce the arbitrary laws of a new federation ruled by a king?

In today’s hellscape news, the Trump administration is planning to cut 80,000 jobs from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA is already short-staffed and wait times are abhorrent. Veterans will die because of this move.

Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to STOP offensive cyber operations against Russia. This is insane. Russia is actively targeting the U.S., and the ability to conduct offensive operations (which was authorized by Trump in 2018!*) was at least one deterrent.

The Oval Office has long been a symbol of American leadership, diplomacy, and decorum—a space where world leaders engage in high-stakes discussions with mutual respect, even amid disagreement. Yesterday’s debacle shattered that image.

A bunch of Trump’s most influential advisors are advocating for the US to leave NATO and the UN. Short-sighted, reactionary morons. You should really ask yourselves why anyone that has the US interests at heart would want us to leave the most powerful alliance in history.

Russian hackers infiltrate our system every day. They are constantly looking for persistence (long term access) in our critical infrastructure. If Hegseth thinks that they’re going to stop just because we do, he’s even more out of his depth than I thought.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”
