The reality of our government is that it's a sprawling and occasionally inefficient system because you can't deliver services to 330 million people without having to deal with edge cases, and to someone who doesn't know the edge cases, that looks like waste or fraud www.nextgov.com/digital-gove...

That this 9 month old baby, KJ, is alive today is an actual miracle, and all of the dozens of people involved want the world to know it's entirely because of decades of government-funded research. Unstated: This is the research now being gutted by DOGE and RFK Jr. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/h...

This is a funny story because of how it establishes that all around the world, even the most nihilistic ultra-rich freaks are realizing this shit is stupid, wasteful, and unnecessary and Trump is like "the big plane has a couch in it, it's the highest premium leather," www.forbes.com/sites/jeremy...

Forbes: The Qataris have been trying to get rid of that ostentatious luxury jet for five years, but no one would buy it. It costs too much to fly, costs more to maintain, and needs too big a landing strip. They had another one they unloaded on Turkey. Delicious. www.forbes.com/sites/jeremy...

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

Trump's first-term corruption seemed huge, but it's already been dwarfed by the ongoing, unchecked festival of domestic and foreign corruption four months into in his second term. Blame the Supreme Court and the Republican Congress. My latest at @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-unqu...

Donald Trump -- who insists that college students voicing sympathy for the Palestinian people are "siding with terrorists" -- says it's fine for him personally to accept the bribe of a $400,000,000 luxury jet from the Middle Eastern nation that long funded Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
