NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Oof! Brian hit the nail on the head!

another Nazi salute at CPAC

Amen to that.

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

The very first Lichenomphalia umbellifera lichens I found. I think you can see why I lost my mind over them and am still obsessed with them. Distance shot below ⬇️ #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

"For those that read the headlines only, it will appear that we are backing sex offenders instead of their victims," Olson said. "But there are unique circumstances that need the potential flexibility that a court review can provide." YEAH, IT DOES LOOK LIKE THAT!😡 www.inforum.com/news/north-d...

Perfection

A private surgical company at the heart of allegations the Alberta government interfered to secure overpriced medical contracts was billing taxpayers more than twice as much per procedure than it would cost in a public hospital, according to AHS documents. globalnews.ca/news/1103041... #ABpoli

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

The crowd is waiting with bated breath for a Sieg Heil from the Leader.

And we already know the answer. apnews.com/article/hung... Hungarians will decide whether Ukraine can join the European Union, Orbán says

When you start firing the military's top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things.

NO. No it isn't, no more than he received in '16 or '20: but an inordinate number of people voted against their own interests--that's u GOP women--or didn't vote at all. Then they come crying to Democrats when they get butthurt: Dems didn't do it. We did our job. GOP never stops whining and blaming

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it

STAGGERING FUCKING CORRUPTION

No, don't. If Tish James charges Eric Adams, Trump won't have a pardon big enough to save his repugnant ass.

These boys had a bad bad night.

What to say?

These women will be the end for the dear leader and his side kick Donald Trump

Never mind golf outing with the Dear Leader. Definitely a place to start.

When the stupid reveals itself..once again.. We don’t do kings, no matter how hard you try, asshole 🖕🏻 #SheShed

Beautiful

Uninspected eggs. What could possibly go wrong?

He can try to dress it up and hide it away but any way you come at it, this guy is at best a total dork.

A number of federal agencies, from HHS to the USDA, have laid off employees only to rescind those terminations days later. An expert says it "suggests something about mismanagement of government."

But sure, let's fire all the inspectors.
