The ongoing bloodbath at the Social Security Administration has only one goal: The total annihilation of Social Security by firing half of the work force and closing the field offices. Wall Street billionaires want to destroy Social Security so they can give themselves trillions in tax handouts.

I don't think you can look at what is brewing in Washington right now and just assume that the US will still be a functioning geopolitical actor this time next year

BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.

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 open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

We have somehow gone from “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” to “Hey, Vlad, here’s Ukraine…how much you really want?” Berlin may want to reinforce the old Checkpoint Charlie. #nato

So, DOGE accidentally fires people working on safety of our nuclear weapons, then doesn’t have contact info to “invite” them to return. Then, accidentally fires experts working on bird flu. One might think there were inexperienced and erratic lil people in charge.

Deleted a post because there were too many nuances re: the flipped Delta plane in Canada. Bottom line: we all need to pay attention to airline safety with the recklessness of this administration. We also need to pay attention to public health emergencies. We need to pay attention.

Zelenskyy calls for the creation of a #EuropeanArmy: “We must build the armed forces of Europe, so that Europe’s future depends only on Europeans,” the creation of a unified European force outside of NATO comes after the US elected a Russian asset making it no longer reliable or to be counted on.

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

I know this is cheesy, but I’m going to say it anyway: Don’t forget to show up for yourself. For awhile I stopped doing my long weekend runs and I’ve been back at it for several weeks and it makes all the difference. Whatever your thing is, don’t stop doing it!

It's very peculiar that trump says he wants to root out corruption, but his Department of Justice is determined to get the corruption charges against corrupt Mayor Eric Adams dropped, so he can corruptly pursue a quid pro quo wit Adams. The whole deal is corrupt AF.

They were discussing Mary Poppins on @alltherightmovies.com and they mentioned that ‘A Spoonful of Sugar’ was inspired by one of the composer’s sons getting the polio vaccine in a sugar cube. A bright, cheery, classic song that sprang from the eradication of a horrific disease.
