This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Trump: Zelensky had the most beautiful cities, and they're all destroyed. Host: But it's Putin's fault, don't you agree? Trump: I'm tired of hearing it, I'll tell you this. Host: Isn't it Putin's fault? Trump: ignores

Another collapse of opinion. Trump claims Zelensky doesn't need to attend peace negotiations since his presence isn't crucial. Meanwhile, he insists that Putin could have seized all of Ukraine if he truly wanted to. According to Trump, the war in Ukraine isn't Russia's fault at all.

If you really want to cut govt spending in the U.S., combine neighboring rural county services… and then combine the actual rural counties. Start merging them together! Same, by the way, of most suburbs.

Zelensky is perhaps the defining figure of our age. Brave, ingenious, pragmatic and defined by his convictions. They hate him because he kills fascists.

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

Unfortunately firings have continued at the National Nuclear Safety Administration. I’ve been contacted by an NNSA worker who was fired, then told her termination was paused, then told she was fired again. She says there were numerous others at NNSA treated the same way. These people keep us safe.

“Dept. of Govt. Efficiency” Rampant Bird Flu - fired employees at CDC, NIH, FDA, and the team tackling bird flu at the USDA only to say whoops, we’re trying to rehire them. U.S. Nuclear Weapons - fired DOE employees including nuclear weapons staff, but whoops, you guessed it trying to rehire.

DOGE recommended firing staff at USDA who were working on the nation's response to bird flu and hundreds of employees working at the National Nuclear Security Administration overseeing our nuclear stockpile. Now the Trump admin is scrambling to hire them back. "Efficiency."

Yesterday, I attended the Elizabeth Warren rally/photo op at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and got so mad, I stompy-stomped off in mid-rally. This is why. Elon Musk, who no one voted for, is in control of the federal government and is destroying it agency by agency. It’s a coup.
