Big Balls’s past gets more scrutiny — including the internship where he was terminated. “You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old?” one frustrated executive asked the company’s CEO in 2022. “Are you for real right now?” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

A profile of Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy's top officer, who spent roughly half of her 40-year career at sea, commanding a destroyer, two carrier strike groups and the U.S. Sixth Fleet, & whom current Defense Secretary and former Fox & Friends co-host Pete Hegseth fired tonight.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

This headline gets it right. 'Elon Musk is trying to buy the Wisconsin supreme court' He's already dropped $1.7M on this race, and he will drop much more. We have five weeks to help @crawfordforwi.bsky.social defeat Elon Musk's candidate. All hands on deck! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Troy Balderson is part of a two-seat House majority that includes Tom Massie. This is a very nice sentiment that he is massively empowered to do something about in the event that he means it or gives a shit.

Perhaps my favorite sign from the many protests and rallies we’ve seen in #NY17: A mock check from Elon Musk to Mike Lawler for $1,727,639, the amount of money Elon spent to get Lawler re-elected…and thus the amount of money Elon spent to buy Lawler’s vote.

Here's @bluestein.bsky.social's uncensored thread of the town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA), in which an unhappy audience pushes back against DOGE cuts: threadreaderapp.com/thread/18927...

Quite the gall to stand there and compare people sitting down at a town hall meeting to January 6th insurrectionists, too.

Promoting an 0-9 to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is insane - Trump is going to have to promote him to four star AND waive the legal requirements to even hold the position Dan Caine had a distinguished career, but he’s never been a vice chair, combatant commander or service chief

Dear God. The new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, told Trump: "I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir." This country is sick at its core.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits. Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices. Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators. That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday that he was firing Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first female officer to rise to the Navy’s top job of Chief of Naval Operations, and would be looking for her replacement.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...
