Just went to Cancun. Trump is running commercials on Mexican TV with Kristi Noem telling the “World” not to come into the US illegally, and at the end she says, “The US does not welcome criminals.” You know, unless you’re a 30 time convicted felon and adjudicated sexual predator. Then you’re cool.

🧵 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:

Now that we’re firmly entrenched in a tariff war with China, Temu is going to have to rename their company Toomuch. At some point even cheap, crap Chinese stuff will be out of reach for a lot of people.

Goldberg on Waltz: "This isn't The Matrix. Phone numbers don't just get sucked into other phones. I don't know what he's talking about ... my phone number was in his phone because my phone number was in his phone. He's telling everyone that he's never met me or spoken to me. That's simply not true."

Xavier transitioned and became Vivian Jenna Wilson. She is alive and well and lives in Japan. No loving parent would ever write such a disgusting thing as this, and it speaks volumes.

This is my Flying Chanclas seat cushion/wasp swatter. I’ve had to disappear a couple today because they’re not following the rules. I let them use the far corners of my covered deck for their condos and they kill bugs. You let me smoke my cigars in peace and we’re good. They need to play nice.

Commerce Secretary Lutnick can fuck right off. Imagine calling a senior a fraudster. Seniors were promised those benefits and paid into the fund their entire working lives. He’s the fraudster if he wants to take that away. Oh, and you’re a billionaire. I hope your mom isn’t relying on SS benefits.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid aren’t entitlement programs, they’re Earntitlement programs. We pay into them throughout our working lives. We’ve earned those benefits. They become Ponzi schemes when they’re cut off and those of us who’ve paid don’t get that benefit.
