Here’s an idea: If “waste, fraud and abuse” are actually being uncovered, could we see a couple examples that can be investigated and confirmed by an independent 3rd party? Because I believe DOGE is theater.

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual. cdm16274.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/coll...

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

Had a great time doing this interview with Jeff Flake, and thanks for the support @davidaxelrod.bsky.social it was invaluable. The interview covers everything. My background. Shark tank. Politics. You name it youtu.be/WSOePmWFVNo?...

Both Putin’s bitch and his couch-fucking minion are traitorous bastards who aren’t good enough to kiss President Zelenskyy’s feet. 👣

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

A hero and a coward are meeting in the Oval Office today. And when the meeting is over, the hero will return home to Ukraine.

Trump and Vance would NEVER, EVER, talk to Putin like that. And everyone knows it.

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.

I appreciated meeting with Vermont veterans to discuss veteran homelessness, mental health, health care and other issues at the VA. Veterans put their lives on the line for this country. We must do everything in our power to ensure they receive the benefits & care they earned.

America is not Russia and any comparisons risk going too far. But for those of us who reported there, Trump’s Washington is bringing back memories of Putin’s Moscow in the early days. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

For all of Trump and Musk’s talk of “fraud and abuse” — the reality is this Administration is the fraud and what we’re seeing is their abuse of power.

My husband @robertcooper-us.bsky.social and I were the FIRST gay couple to adopt children in the US, way back in 1985. We went on to adopt five wonderful kids — all adopted at birth. They’ve grown so much! Here’s a pic from our wedding in 2000, and a recent one including their significant others. ❤️
