Congrats to Trump’s new picks for top military posts for meeting the job description. You don’t have to say yes, you know.

Republican events for a month now (including Inauguration Day!) have featured a prominent Nazi salute & legacy media outlets ignore it. Seems like a trend worth covering, no? Maybe access to the Nazi party shouldn't be prioritized??

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

You never imagine the descent into despotism being quite this embarrassing, you know? You expect liberal democracy to fall to a Palpatine, not Biff Tannen.

I enjoyed that little flurry of fake news reports that Trump and Putin weren't really talking, or that Putin was mad at Trump the "russia hoax" was always real, and this is an extremely well funded global authoritarian assault on law, informed consensus, empathy, and democratic order by sociopaths

I get we're all numb to this but another way of looking at Trump pushing 25% auto tariffs is the world's richest auto executive trying to ban much of his competition

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.
