Press sec needs to be asked about whether Trump has promised or given pardons to Elon and DOGE staff for all the laws they are breaking.

Zelensky has led the Ukrainian people against Russian aggression for over 3 years. He has aged 30 years in that time. And there he sits in the Oval Office with two mindless gorillas threatening him and shouting utter nonsense at him. Never in my life have I seen anything so undignified.

I suspect we’re going to be hearing more stories about failing farmers having their land bought for cheep—it’s not a coincidence. Is this why USAID was cut—to make way for billionaires?! Watch til the end and keep an eye on national parklands too. 🧵

Just to be clear, because I don’t think the Post story highlights it enough: This was Trump’s day-one pick to lead the Social Security Admin until his nominee got confirmed who RESIGNED a career job rather than do what Musk’s DOGE team wants. This is Treasury (DOGE) and DOJ (Adams) all over again.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

New from me — “What it comes down to is the removal of choice, especially when it comes to established health care. People should not have to suffer the anguish of being denied life-saving drugs because a couple of guys have decided to apply conspiracy theories instead of established science.”

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual. Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

I’d like to remind everyone, ad nauseam, that actual hillbillies were warning folks about this crank nine years ago—but the likes of Oprah, the NYT, Ron Howard, and even Olaf Scholz praised him for—get this—a book all about blaming poor people for their misfortunes.

The rise of the far-right must be seen for what it is: a hate-based campaign of violent extremism. Democratic calls to appease this extremism are no less absurd than suggesting countries beat Al Qaeda by joining it.

Just to say the quiet part out loud, the point of having unelected judges in a democracy is so that whether acts of state are “legitimate” can be decided by someone other than the people who are undertaking them. Vermeule knows this, of course. So does Vance.
