By replacing a black 4-star general with a white 3-star general, we are finally bringing meritocracy back to the Department of Defense. by Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump

It's so sad that they went with "Third Term" when "Third Reich" was right there waiting for them.

this is an extremely helpful thread!

At the Long Beach Tesla Takedown, lots of folks out here (I’d estimate probably 40-50 so far) and lots of support from cars driving by. Come out and join!

The shareholders at Tesla would probably like to ask a similar question: "Elon, what did you get done for us last week, other than further alienating our most likely customers with your obnoxious fascist stunts?

It would be a shame if we all flooded musk’s email ⬇️ [email protected] This is the email address musk is asking federal workers to email detailing their tasks during the week 🚨 you know what to do 🚨

Bingo.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

Destroying the CDC team researching Lyme disease. Disbanding the HHS Long COVID council. Cutting Medicaid. How is any of this cost-saving? This is not about efficiency. It’s about funding tax breaks for billionaires while costing Americans their health. www.9news.com/article/news...

One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world just lost $1.4 billion (with a B) to a hack. This is 5x as much as the previous largest exchange hack in history.

This letter from Jared Golden is one of the clearest statements of how Democrats — especially in purplish districts — are thinking through this moment, strategically. jaredgolden.substack.com/p/for-democr...

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

House members are back home this week and I've never see anything like the footage coming out of these in-district town halls. From Milton NY Dems, a constituent of Rep. Paul Tonko talks about the need for John Lewis-style leadership and civil disobedience and gets a standing ovation.

This is a very fine piece of writing by Tom Cox.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists
