In any other administration of the past 80 years, the defense secretary and the national security advisor would, following an equivalent scandal, now resign.

If these men had any sense of honor, they would already have resigned. The fact that they are all still in their jobs is just as damning as their terrifying and lawless incompetence.

Pete Hegseth is totally and utterly unqualified to be Secretary of Defense. Imagine all the incredibly stupid things he’s doing that he did not happen to send to a journalist.

So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.

Presented with evidence that innocent people who are not members of any gang were wrongly deported to a slave prison in El Salvador, Homan flatly insists that all of them were in fact gang members (but he's unwilling to detail any evidence showing it)

@warnock.senate.gov: "If they're interested in waste, fraud, and abuse, they should start with co-president Musk's own companies, and ask why has he gotten $20 billion and more from the federal government. This is wealth-fare at its worst."

What Trump has done for US farmers so far: -frozen their foreign aid program (and left their food to rot) -encouraged EU to ban their products -frozen legally-owed reimbursements for their energy efficiency upgrades etc. -threatened to deport half their workforce -suppressed research on bird flu

Excellent thread on last week's EOs that went under the radar. The one ordering access to data/records from all receiving State Dept funding (among others) struck me as especially worrisome.

About a week after cutting a $1 billion program which was remarkable win-win, paying local farmers to provide lunches for hungry school children Trump’s USDA cut ANOTHER $500 million designated for food pantries Sure, it’s heartlessly cruel But Elon Musk’s next tax cut isn’t gonna pay for itself

This is absolutely impacting us. No paper for the copier, returning to the office (but no supplies, monitors, or chairs), and no field equipment. The DOGE cuts are wasting taxpayer money, not saving it. At the same time Elon’s companies continue to get contracts. Conservation over corporations.

I made an ad. I've given a lot of thought as to how to communicate without confrontation to Republican voters, non-voters, or Trumpers who are beginning to be concerned. I hope you'll watch - it's only 30 seconds - and share if you like it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp6X...

At face value, this would appear to be most serious potential compromise of US national interest, for private gain, on record. Any clearer example? Actual question. (To spell out the conflict: Musk's private businesses depend crucially on (a) connections/good will in China (b) same inside DOD)

CDC has never had authority to give or enforce mandates. CDC is essentially an advisor. States implement that advice to varying degrees. When republicans say they want to reform CDC's authority they mean remove the ability to make recommendations. This is exactly what Project 2025 calls for.

I guess with all the other open-air graft going on it's easy to overlook, but the U.S. Commerce Secretary using his official position to go on cable news to tell people to buy the stock of his boss's largest campaign donor is just astonishingly corrupt.

On Hugh Hewitt’s show, Marco Rubio says El Salvador is “housing” people sent by the US. But he never says on what possible legal authority? These people haven’t committed any crime in El Salvador and by their own admission “many” have never committed a crime in the US. It all seems entirely lawless.
