It occurred to me that firing thousands of highly skilled, highly knowledgeable people, some of whom had access to highly secret information, and now have grievances and an urgent need for money, might be considered a security risk. Like, a big one.

"U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters."

It's consistently remarkable to me how many folks out there simply refuse to believe it is possible that a dumb person could simply fall upwards and find success through wealth and connections - A thing that is constantly happening right in front of us all the time

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

Man, fuck RFK Jr.

X: it’s where the conversations happen (if they allow them to)

Kash Patel is Director of the FBI. Here's what's coming... Patel will use the FBI to investigate (possibly prosecute) perceived political opponents of Donald Trump, including former Biden Administration officials, current Democratic lawmakers and anyone that criticizes the Trump Administration.

In Soviet Russia, product regulate YOU

The good news is i saved you 60 billion dollars. The bad news is that is a typo i saved you 600 dollars and also your plane is falling out of the sky

The job market has never been better for shills, stooges, and toadies of all stripes. Linkedin absolutely buzzing if you're a sycophant, a flunky, or even an unctuous little worm

Against my better judgment, despite all we know about the players involved here, parts of me still can't fully process just how openly dumb and brazen the grift here is, how Musk is wielding his oligarchy in the stupidest, cringiest way possible "get your clients to spend more on X, or else"

"even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making" "Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination"

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

NEW: The director of data science and engineering for what is now known as the US DOGE Service has resigned. "If DOGE truly was concerned with efficiency, they wouldn’t have fired experts in procurement," she writes, "who prevent waste up front." This is by @makenakelly.bsky.social

Great goal from Trent #LFC Time for everyone to turn on and get a winner.

Rashford is making Amorim look like a fool.

The thing about super rich people is that they famously don’t care about money, excellent point

Hakeem Jeffries refuses to call for Eric Adams' resignation, instead calling on Adams to show "that he has the capacity to continue to govern in the best interest of New Yorkers"

in terms of professions that do indeed owe you something, politician is actually one of the big ones

Someone is being incredibly needy today so we have moved the dog bed next to my desk.

This goes to a point I've made before that the federal government has been taken over by what I call competency cosplayers, and their appeal is that incompetent people who don't like the expert consensus can convince themselves these people who agree with them are competent experts.

US Supreme Court rules 6-3 that poisoning your rival is an official act.

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

Sometimes that just happens to ICE vans. It’s nature.
