Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

It's truly insane how much of the communication from the federal government now comes off like a phishing scheme.

Major events in human history are often driven by incredible assholes, just monstrous douchebags with ego problems that cause them to float through the world committing atrocities and cheering themselves onwards. Nate Silver should both read better books and go to therapy.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

In the wake of Trump’s wrecking ball, China is now probing opportunities to build its own united front with Europe, FP’s Lili Pike reports.

This is what you get when you let politicians run unopposed in their primaries

Hey Massachusetts (CD - 8) do better. Find somebody to primary this a-hole and elect somebody to serve the people of his district.

Fuck this guy

Just gonna note they’re doing exactly what I said they’d do. substack.com/home/post/p-...

The best music correction ever.

A little 🧵: I'm celebrating 70 trips around the sun today. Tryin' to ignore the crisis our country is going through. Bein' old is fun 'cause I've accumulated so many decades of cool memories. Like when I was 7 years old goin' fishing for walleyes in the Lake of the Woods (Ontario) with my dad.

Yuuup! Dr. Carol Anderson’s book White Rage addresses this amazingly well. Black advancement always leads to white backlash. Every. Time.

I wish I could say that this is unbelievable, but it’s totally believable.

If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

Surely this can't go wrong. Https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/02/21/pentagon-job-cuts-trump-hegseth/

the only thing Canadians like more than beating Russia in hockey is beating the US in hockey. the general sentiment this morning is that last night we got to do both.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

With a measles outbreak growing in West Texas, and cases popping up across the country, experts say vaccination is your best protection. And it's not just for kids. Some adults may need a booster.

Is anyone going to do anything to stop this or let him steamroll over our fucking allies? share.newsbreak.com/bnho8nk6

What’s that got to do with the price of eggs? as my mom used to say. What with the price of eggs in the States, I share 3 favorite eggless dessert recipes on my Substack! jamieschler.substack.com/p/eggless-ch...

A lot of things that are done in science, particularly but not exclusively biology, must be tended every day. I suspect that some of them have already been damaged. If the cuts continue, more will.

Mitch McConnell passes the baton to the next generation of Republican leadership in the Senate as Jim Justice rolls on by.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

Elon is a dick (and a clear and present danger to our country). Hey, DOJ, looking forward to receiving your letter. DM me if you need my address.
