The Pentagon is in "total chaos" and Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and missteps at the highest levels of the department. "The building is in disarray." www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

On Kash Patel's jet-setting lifestyle as the FBI director, a sharp departure from his predecessors. He's used FBI/DoJ private planes to attend a UFC fight in Vegas and an Islanders game in New York From Adam Goldman and (to a lesser extent) me www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

EXCLUSIVE: A former top Pentagon official warns dysfunction could topple Hegseth — describing a department collapsing from backstabbing and constant missteps. Read the full opinion piece from former top spokesperson John Ullyot, who resigned last week👇 ow.ly/SSoq50VEvPC

@dicknixon.bsky.social Hegseth will be gone by Wednesday, sir. Freiburg will be in charge.

@clueheywood.bsky.social Your move

👇🎯 They. Are. Breaking. Signed. Contracts. For. No. Legal. Reason. You want to pass legislation not funding this stuff going forward? Fine. Epically idiotic, but legal. This is something else. Shredding the basic foundations of the rule of law. Textbook authoritarianism.

Your friendly reminder that it is literally a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison for the President, Vice President, or any employee of the White House to directly or indirectly ask the IRS to open an investigation into any specific taxpayer.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social I’m assuming the lamb pics will be posting later

EXCLUSIVE: Following up on ProPublica piece on Thiel startup RAMP hunting for the motherlode govt payments contract, as of yesterday a DOGEr & Ramp employee, Roland Shen, is now inside Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service, the US Govt's central payments hub. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/rampi...

Trump is really good at getting Democrats to focus their outrage on something that has a lot of public support, especially among independents. And Democrats take the bait every time.

Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice. He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama. It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.

Been saying it since day one, will keep saying DOGE is a giant data mining operation of the entire federal government. Nothing more.

The media needs to quit live coverage of Trump’s press interactions. He uses them to spread lies and misinformation. He knows how to manipulate the media. It’s his one true talent. Stop letting him do it.

The David Hogg’s of the world equate being a competent politician with being good on the various media platforms. That’s Donald Trump.

Looks like the Chubby in Chief is not going to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war. Shocking.

Here’s why you should never click on a story who’s headline starts with here’s why

It is grimly funny that the Department of Governmental Efficiency has instituted a series of requirements that basically remove 30+ years of actual efficiency in order to ... ??? ?????? Certainly not save any money.

Whoa, one of those NLRB whistleblowers received a threatening note on his home door, w pics of him taken by drone, that referenced the complaint he was preparing but had NOT yet sent to Congress.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

As David Brooks has said, we’re approaching civil disobedience and national strikes phase of defending our nation.

Fuck these guys. With a red hot tire iron. Sideways.

Real talk in @theatlantic.com today from Garry Kasparov

We are at DEFCON 1 people and George Clooney or Stephen A Smith are not the answer. No more celebrities, no more *businessmen*, no more divisive identity politics. We are all citizens and we all have problems. Talk to your neighbors and forge a relationship. And fight like hell.

Marshall law is the inevitable result. There will be no more elections.

I thought this was just an internet rumor, but holy shit the WSJ reported it as just part of a pattern of doing the same thing to multiple women online.
