The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve. This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme. Hello?

Marco Rubio’s self-gelding proceeded apace this week, as he signed off on massive cuts in foreign aid programs that he had previously supported. (I’m tempted to call the Rubio this year’s Lindsey Graham, but I’m afraid that may turn out to be unfair to Lindsey.) open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

1. Yesterday, the Trump admin released a contract laying out more details of the "deferred resignation" offer they are using to encourage federal employees to resign. The deal is MUCH WORSE than it seemed Anyone who signs this contract agrees to resign and gets NOTHING guaranteed in return

Absurd that CWO Ellis had to post this. If she had been the pilot, then under the Administration’s stated view, the Blackhawk would have been flown by a (white) MAN—and hence fully qualified!! But such is the idiocy we have as a result of having a D(eranged) E(gomaniacal) and I(competent) POTUS.

UPDATE: OPM/Musk emailed an altered version of the "Deferred Resignation" FAQ to federal employees. The changes to the FAQ don't change anything about the underlying offer. But new FAQ simply provides less information to federal employees to try to convince them it is something like a buyout. 🧵

One scientist texted his landlord to say his rent would be late. Another wasn’t able to pay her credit card bill. Yet another worried how much longer he could afford his mortgage. These were some effects of Trump’s federal funding freeze on researchers who rely on National Science Foundation grants.

From monumental legislative successes to steady leadership amid our nation’s greatest challenges, Joe Biden gave us 4 years of reunification, recovery, and revitalization. Trump will try to steal the credit, but it was Biden who delivered it for us. Thank you, President Biden.

Trump seems to have evolved from his “America First” days. Now, he’s a proponent for American expansionism, w/ dreams of acquiring Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal. What does this policy shift portend for the next 4yrs? Tune in @ 9pET w/ Mark Hannah. #Velshi

WHO IS PETE HEGSETH? The Trump transition team didn’t even bother vetting Pete Hegseth until after Trump nominated him for Defense Secretary. And he got the Kavanaugh treatment from the FBI—just a surface-level check. You and I probably know more about him than what the reports will show.

Mark Kelly is about as centrist and polite as you can get and would never attack a fellow veteran. Kelly literally said he couldn’t find a single quality in Hegseth that would permit him to run the military. Kelly’s words were a stunning indictment.

One of the most important exchanges in today’s hearing with Hegseth was when Senator Slotkin took over. If you watch any exchanges watch this one. He’s loyal to Trump and it’s so very clear here. youtu.be/iSVASHj_w2U?...

Jon Stewart nails it: Republicans want Californians to suffer for partisan politics—but only when blue states are hurting. California pays more in federal taxes than 30 red states combined, but they won’t admit it. SAY IT PLAIN: They’ll punish California because they think it’s the leader of woke!
