"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

Fun fact: while Phony Stark and the DOGEbags are taking money from our veterans, the world’s poorest people and kids with cancer, Assistant President Poopy Pants has already spent nearly $11 million of our money… playing golf.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

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.

I think this is time to say that Indigenous people have been getting deported even before Trump. Tribal citizens on the southern border have been detained and sent to random towns in Mexico. When they don’t even speak English or Spanish.

Tonight's moonrise was absolutely stunning. I adjusted to a lower shutter speed to capture the mountains and fog clearly, and for one of my first timelapse videos, I'm really pleased with how it turned out! 🐺🌕🏔 #pnw #sonorthwest #wolfmoon #wawx #timelapse

Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Trump and Elon’s funding freeze isn’t just hurting efforts to feed hungry kids and cure deadly diseases. It’s also devastating programs that fight child sexual abuse and exploitation — literally helping criminals get away with these crimes. www.wired.com/story/doge-u...

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on. That is part of the crisis we face.

Trump has fired at least 19 inspectors general without cause and now 8 of them are filing a lawsuit against the White House. When asked why they weren’t consulted before being ousted, Fmr. Veteran Affairs IG Michael Missal says, “maybe they want lap dogs instead of watch dogs.” #Velshi

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
