this is a good reminder that DOGE emails, whatever their legality or wisdom, are really just harassment and trolling. not an effort to actually accomplish anything.

Right around Thanksgiving it seemed like the Long Island Gold Coast was awash in Cybetrucks, they seemed to be everywhere. Now I can go more than a week without seeing one. I heard they didn't do so well in the snow.

Trump was very flattered that he would be the only POYUS to get 2 state visits with England. Withdrawing the invitation would cut him deep.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

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.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

This presser was a horror show. Ukraine will not have US support going forward, because Trump and Vance are completely lost. Europe will step-up and this war will continue. Trump blew this bigger than any foriegn policy folly in recent history.

Trump and Vance yell and trash talk Zelensky while sucking Putin’s dick. That’s where we are at. A century of global leadership vaporized in a month.

It's such a good letter. I'm glad DOJ still had some people of integrity (I think the resignation count is up to 6 now), but am sad that they are no longer at the DOJ where that integrity will be sorely needed. I know, I can't have it both ways.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”
