Believing that Tulsi Gabbard — longtime Russian asset and newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

So if I have this straight: The Department of Education shouldn’t exist, except in cases where it can make things shittier.

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

WATCH: “You’re walking right into the trap.” @karaswisher.bsky.social admonishes the media for continuing to say Elon/DOGE ‘may have a point’ that cuts should be made — as though any of this is being done in good faith, when it obviously isn’t 🎯

📌QUESTION: How can a private citizen, with zero govt. clearance be walking through the doors of OUR federal departments and the treasury, ransacking the places, stealing information, and NOBODY is stopping him? 📌And what the fuck is law enforcement doing right now? 📌THIS IS A COUP.

@piperformissouri.bsky.social You made the news. Missouri Democratic organizer Jess Piper echoed the sentiment, claiming that “there is no common ground with fascists.” Agreed. McConnell waged all out political lawfare against Obama. The D's need to wake the f**k up and hammer the GOP daily.

No, we don't need investigations. We don't need Senators posting on social media. We need you to literally grind everything to a halt in the Senate & get in front of microphones on the Capitol steps calling for the fascists to resign & your GOP colleagues to vote with you to impeach & remove them.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are
