A giant FU to Christian hypocrites from San Antonio.

Wow. Insanity. This was a state court prosecution.

Putin is running the U.S. government now: gizmodo.com/trumps-defen...

A missing Indigenous child was found dismembered, but you probably won't see those outside of the Indigenous community talking about it. Even our children don't matter to people.

are we allowed to point out they're targeting women and minorities then replacing them with unqualified white men or is that woke DEI

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

Michelle Obama: Kids should have nutritious meals. The pro-life party: This is an outrage! RFK Jr: Kids should have measles, mumps, and polio. The pro-life party: Yes, king! Tell it like it is!

I just don’t think it’s appropriate for men to humiliate and degrade themselves in public in a way that debases the culture and teaches bad values to children. That’s why the Texas A&M Board of Regents shouldn’t do this. Drag shows are fine of course.

Of all motherfuckers, I can’t believe the country is going down with this motherfucker.

An estimated 300,000 children globally are expected to lose access to a nutrient-dense peanut butter that’s specially formulated to treat severe acute malnutrition.

I really don’t know how a Russian plant in the White House would act differently.

Are you fucking kidding me dude

This is the best lawyer joke ever.

BREAKING: The mass firing of upwards of 1,800 workers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, including top climate scientists and weather forecasters, has begun. The firings reportedly include workers at the National Weather Service.

We're on the cusp of a quantum leap very much approaching in practical terms "the cure for cancer," and the official position of the US government will be you can't have it because a sex pest grifter thinks the vibes are bad.

Reporter: Andrew and Tristan Tate landed in Florida today after being released from custody in Romania. They are accused rapists, human traffickers.. Did your administration pressure the Romanian government to release them? Trump: I know nothing about that.

Overnight, the Dep't of Defense, implementing Trump's anti-transgender military executive order, issued a policy banning all trans people who are living as themselves from joining or continuing to serve in the military. What's more, “separation actions” are to begin within the next two months.

And DOJ has also just asked #SCOTUS for emergency relief *tonight* in the USAID funding case—in which Judge Ali had ordered the government to turn the spending taps back on by midnight tonight. So we're up to three emergency requests from Trump's DOJ in the first five weeks of the administration.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine. This you?

Projection much?

SCOOP: DOGE Is Working on Software That Automates the Firing of Government Workers www.wired.com/story/doge-a...

Literally more than a single member of American media in the White House Press Corps has done.

The way we're already pricing in authoritarianism is very, very bad. Trump is using his power as president to openly retaliate against a law firm for representing Jack Smith and it's barely news. The signal this sends is chilling to anyone who would oppose him. What else will he do to his opponents?

Trump just directed the U.S. Attorney General to suspend any security clearances "held by Peter Koski and all members, partners, and employees of Covington & Burling LLP who assisted former Special Counsel Jack Smith during his time as Special Counsel...."

this is a dril tweet

BIG: DC Metro Police decided they had sufficient evidence to arrest sitting GOP Congressman and sent warrant request to USATTY's office. Acting USATTY Martin, who's been explicitly acting as Trump's personal attorney, ignored it. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/big-b...

The North Dakota legislature rejected a bill that would fund school lunches for kids. In response, the Fargo Forum posted this picture, showing one of the men who voted against it picking up….a free lunch.

I tell my cat “I know” when she meows at me but if I’m being honest? I don’t always know

Nearly 100 people across Texas and New Mexico have contracted measles, state officials say, escalating anxiety over the spread of a potentially life-threatening illness that was declared eliminated in the United States more than two decades ago.

This is absolutely fascinating/disturbing!

My staff and I are closely tracking the potential measles exposure in San Antonio that originated with a visitor from West Texas. If you visited any of the locations listed below, please watch out for symptoms (including fever or unexplained rash) and contact a doctor right away if they occur.

“We cannot be made to be afraid of these f**king people. I know these people. They are cowards" - Tim Miller

Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

How it started. How it’s going

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

This is really something

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...
