Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

“Wait guys, P. Hegseth is typing…”

Oh, honey . . . just because you have to pay women to find you sexually attractive doesn't mean *anyone* has to pay people to find you politically repulsive.

It only took two months.

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

Numerous Social Security numbers — including those belonging to a U.S. ambassador, congressional staffers and intelligence researchers — were revealed to be included in the trove of J.F.K papers released.
