1/ View as a veteran and a person who has done work with contractors for USAID. The lies being told about this agency serves two purposes - 1) to lead the US to war and the 2) target internal opposition to dear leader (think the 1918 Sedition Act).

Damn. His books are those I’ve carried with me in multiple moves across the US. They are old friends I know will always be there for me. So, thank you Tom, and I’ll see you as I pull Even Cowgirls Get the Blues off the shelf tonight. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/o...

As a prosecutor, we investigated cases where bad actors left themselves a back door in govt systems. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse suggests Musk’s team could “manipulate data, steal data, and leave back doors. Your privacy gone.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/u...

Congress better step up. History is filled with legislatures that are disbanded or “purged” when they are no longer needed by the dear leader. Republicans have already seen in 2021 rumps disciples storming the Capitol seeking their 🩸. Grow a pair before they erect the gallows again!

Listening to press conf on AA crash and hearing Duffy invoke the name of dear leader over and over and promising blame will be assigned makes me distrust anything that “officially” comes out. Betting they go with “DEI” as the reason smh.

Caroline Kennedy provides a template on how marshaling facts, staying focused, and staying cool headed can deliver a strong argument that can resonate with those who are still reachable and not lost to the cult.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”
