“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

Just a reminder: #SpaceX is nothing more than a launch services provider, FULL STOP. If you believe SpaceX can come close to #NASA's knowledge, skillset, workforce or capabilities, to quote the title one of my old favorite video game quiz shows, You Don't Know Jack.

“I liked Zelenskyy when he first became President of Ukraine. I liked him even more when he had the guts to stand up to Putin. Now that he also has the courage to stand up to Trump… I’m at a loss for words. The guy is a living legend. Слава Україні!” From @VjDombrovski… I couldn’t agree more ⬇️

Good news Austin! Hearst Newspapers is buying the Austin American-Statesman. The Statesman will join the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News, which are expanding, not shrinking. Austin will have a real newspaper again. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/art... #txlege

When you understand that DOGE was never meant to save money and make the government more efficient, but to burn it all to the ground and sell it to the highest bidder.... ......it all makes sense.

Another day, another email to my rep and senators. This time about them stealing Medicaid from the poor and elderly to give themselves tax cuts

“Deep cuts to agencies that account for a small fraction – just over 1% – of federal spending will not put a dent in the soaring budget deficit, but they could irreparably harm one of the nation’s most valuable enterprises.”

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Isn't it interesting how angels in the Bible tend to strike terror into people by their appearance, but the devil disguises himself as an angel of light? The angel of God will tell you to "fear not." The devil won't have an appearance that scares you....at least not at first.

Listen, we had to fire the "GUY WHO PROTECTS YOUR TAX DATA" because we had no idea what he did and that $58,000 needed to be spent on five golf carts for the Secret Service at Maralago. You don't have an identity any more but you also don't have DEI. So win/win?

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

First day after a major storm disaster with fatalities & destruction across multiple states and Trump goes to a car race in Florida. Second day after a major disaster and Trump plays golf in FL. Dozens of posts about himself during that time. Not one word about the disaster.
