Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Quite the consequential Friday night massacre. They not only took out three top military leaders, but also the JAG officers who interpret what’s lawful and constitutional for military command.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

You cannot support both the Constitution and Donald Trump. You just can’t support both. You must choose.

My bet is that the Musk Rats chewing on our Treasury files are also collecting material from Trump’s first term. This stuff can easily be massaged into a gigantic scandal, as we have seen. As long as Trump gives what he wants, Trump is safe. If not, not.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

3yrs ago, a dictator invaded a sovereign nation. 3yrs later, that sovereign nation, defending itself, has lost 13,000 civilians, 44,000 soldiers, and had 25,000 of its children kidnapped. And just yesterday, the U.S. President told the world again that he stands with the dictator. Fucking Shameful.

Hegseth is the perfect avatar for Trumpist foreign policy: All about faux-alpha-male bluster and constant assertions of aggressive dominance, all based on the idea that there are no rules or values, there is only power, and the biggest privilege of the powerful is to bully the rest.

Blumenthal: "It would be one thing if we had some disinterested, impartial business person -- highly successful -- looking at ways to make our govt more efficient and save money. That's not what's happening here. Elon Musk is doing a power grab & information heist, the biggest in American history"

We are not safe under Trump. We are exposed to another 9/11 or worse. We are losing our friends and families. We are losing our healthcare. We are losing our education. We are losing our groceries. We are losing our money. We are losing our gas. We are losing.

I wonder if we should be thinking of Musk's seizing of Treasury as an historic cyber-security breach that endangers the entire US and global financial system. Every government and financial institution in the world should be demanding that Treasury arrest the hackers, restore integrity of US govt.

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.

Buttigieg’s response to Trump vis Twitter, on multiple levels:

The brittle, defensive nature of the Trump administration’s response to the collision tragedy is remarkable. There’s no discernible, concrete reason for them to be handling it this way. Unfortunately, malignant narcissists prioritize externalization of blame over problem solving every time.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
