Fox News website implies DOGE is righteous and its claims are broadcast without verification. It’s actually good to steal Congress-approved payments. Full state media mode.

My takeaway from this is that we just told Putin he should demand more Ukraine territory and we told our allies “you’re on your own” if (when) Putin reignites the war. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Considering the illegal halting of USAID funding with no advanced notice, DOGE is now a death panel.

I predict the Eagles win

Quote of the day from @anneapplebaum.bsky.social: "[Abolishing USAID] is a test case for 'are Americans willing to accept a high level of cruelty and death?'"

This idea is not just bad, it's monstrous if thought through for 5 minutes. 🤔 We've bombed tens of thousands of civilians and we would forcibly move their surviving families into desert refugee camps, stealing their remaining homes to build a getaway for the 1%. 🥂

The people willing to look straight into a camera--one that's on--and defend Gaza ethnic cleansing as a wonderful idea and very novel. "You see, no one before has suggested that the Palestinians simply abandon their homes and land so others can enrich themselves from it."

Bluesky exclusie! Early work in progress on a new song that may end up a lot slower. drive.google.com/file/d/17tZX...

Short-term pain for long-term isolation and decline!

Get started on prosperity via beautiful tariffs on day 1? Naw, pardon the especially deserving, like Silk Road guy and cop beaters.

We’re aboard Snowpiercer and the new leader’s innovation is a crusade to crush and make more enemies, fire more engineers every 4 years, and put managers over them with Hegseth-level experience and character.

The Senate’s role of oversight is severely compromised in a world of cult political figures and directable online mobs. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

I really needed this.

I think most precise view of our political state www.weekendreading.net/p/how-trump-...

I think I’ve found it. The event that triggered Trump and made him distrust the whole class of people actually qualified to run the dept of defense: www.cnn.com/2021/01/03/p...

Don’t feel guilty about checking out of political news for a few years. The daily chaos and cruelty is returning and you’re not made better off by enduring exposure to it.
