DOGE staffer 'Big Balls' Coristine’s background that has escaped public notice: his grandfather, Valery Martynov, was a KGB spy www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

What an empty putz.

In other words: Judge Ho did not dismiss Adams’ case at this time. Instead, he appointed Clement to act as a friend of the court to present his own briefing on the issues Judge Ho set forth in his Order. Both sides and Clement will file briefs for the court to consider to reach his decision.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

He nails it.

HUGE! (But, don't call it a vaccine. Death Star, Jr will ban it.)

Guillermina is pruining in a Northern CA vineyard. She uses special shears to trim the grapevines. With carefully pruning, the wine grapes will be used to make some of the region’s best wines next summer. #WeFeedYou

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

♤ Oh. It WAS weird that he survived 9/11. Didn't think about the KSA connection. ♤

Patriotic Americans must get their minds around the idea that mass protests likely will be necessary to stop a Trump-Musk dictatorship. Consider what outrage would get you into the streets. Keep bottled water and snacks handy. But mostly, get psychologically ready to defend your country.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Superb piece by my friend @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social about supporting foreign criticism of Trump's America. It's not unpatriotic of us to feel this way. It's a rejection of fascism and an endorsement of the need for freedom around the world.

Circulate this thread far and wide! #DOGEDouches

The DOGE Fraud Is Coming from Inside the House www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/20/t...

I wonder what would happen if @wyden.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov asked GAO to investigate whether DOGE's "receipts" claiming savings amounts to fraud. Honestly, it's the only fraud found so far. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Years before Hitler invaded the USSR, Nazi agents planted fake disloyalty rumors about Stalin’s top generals on Vienna phone lines they knew Soviets had tapped. They convinced Stalin to purge & shoot his own best generals before the outbreak of war. Imagine Putin’s FSB planting gossip today…🤔

trump is a cancer on the world.
