As Trump, Musk and DOGE have done massive spending cuts and layoffs, as his tariffs have decimated our retirement/savings accounts, we taxpayers have paid $25 million so far this year for Trump to play golf. Think about that…

I just sent Cory Booker money. I will send money to anyone who fights, and I will not send money to anyone who cowers in fear. That has to be the situation, for all of us.

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth. This is why journalism matters.

Dear Canadians and Greenlanders, Trump offered to give you "protection"! Aren't you excited with all-star protectors like Pete Hegseth, Michael Waltz, Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliff, and whoever has a Signal account? Oh, and don't forget Stephen Miller!!! That one's a keeper!

Dear Republicans, Blaming President Biden for all of YOUR failures and ineptitude is not an acceptable answer. If you wanted to keep blaming him, you should have reelected him. You elected trump, just barely. Make HIM accountable, you dumb fucks.

You know who was really good at following protocols for secure communication? Those Navajo Code Talkers that Hegseth had wiped from the Pentagon website.

The only way someone can be added to a Signal chat is if the person who started the text group--the admin--directly adds them or directly approves their request to be added. There is no way Jeffrey Goldberg could wish his way into that text group. Mike Waltz accidentally added him. That's it.

Attention working-class Americans: Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security. Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

A heck of a resignation! Those last couple of statements though. “ if no lawyer within earshot of the president is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”
