Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

This is actually a pretty good idea in #Montana. "'We should teach about religion’s role in shaping the country from the horrific mass deaths dating back to Salem to the cold, calculated belief that God somehow wanted Europeans to conquer the “heathens.'" dailymontanan.com/2025/02/06/w...

This, so hard. As a historian, I cannot emphasize enough how people have taken for granted peace and rights that millions died to achieve - in wars, in labor strikes, in hunger strikes, in marches, in social movements…and we’re watching that sail away because people were never educated enough on WHY

If you wanted to know how an autocracy would start in America, it begins by releasing violent thugs from prison who beat up police defending Congress, illegally firing every Inspector General, and seizing billions appropriated by Congress for people with no authority to do so.

Texas passed a law banning books with any mention of sexual content. Then the Bible got banned. The author of the bill now claims to have a kingly power to grant exemptions — granting just one, for the Bible. This is not how legislation works. But it is how fascism does.

We learned through two world wars and over a half a million dead GIs, that it is in our national interest to stay involved in European security. That's why we invented NATO, which underpins and secures the EU. We unravel this at our strategic peril. ---basically my masters thesis in 2016.
