US military personnel killed in the Europe/Atlantic theatre of war 1942-1945, that is, fighting the Nazis so they wouldn't salute a dictator like this anymore: About 250,000 (US Department of Defense, January 2025)

This is genuinely dangerous reporting, a total failure of journalism. An “annexation” of Canada would involve the mass murder of Canadians but this idea is being sanitised and reported as if it were farce, as mere trolling, by a man who has co-signed two coups of his own country.

If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

Just wait until the women’s sports supporters who got caught up in the anti-trans propaganda of the Trump campaign realize that Title IX (the civil rights act that mandated equal support of — and therefore catalyzed the rise of — girl’s and women’s sports) is “DEI”.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

You guys need to wise up, you’re not dealing with conservatives or libertarians trying to implement conservative or libertarian policies. You are dealing with fascists trying to destroy the idea of the truth and replace it with the exercise of power.

We’re in for weeks of this on end. One of Musk’s tween haxx0rz stumbles into a complicated system they don’t understand, thinks they’ve discovered something earthshattering the veteran dunces never noticed, relays to Musk who also doesn’t understand, and broadcasts it to millions of followers.

It's time to stop pretending DOGE is about efficiency and trimming expenses. The difference between a haircut and a visit to the guillotine matters, and this is all going to be very expensive for all of us (if not for them). Notably gutting CFPB. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Excuse me while I vent for a moment SHE IS THE APPROPRIATIONS CHAIR. SHE CAN SUBPOENA OFFICIALS, HOLD TELEVISED HEARINGS, HOLD UP ANYONE’S FUNDING, ZERO OUT THE WHITE HOUSE’S FUCKING ICE CREAM AND DIET COKE BUDGET, AND ENFORCE THE APPROPRIATIONS LAWS THAT ARE THE SOURCE OF HER PERSONAL POWER.

A serious proposal: If the Trump administration is going to neglect and eliminate entire US Government functions, Democrats should select a full shadow cabinet to fill the void. Send an alt SecState to the G20, have an alt CDC Director let us know what’s really going on with Bird Flu and TB, etc.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The real problem with this shit is that the Democrats in Congress are treating this like an election they need to win* instead of a crisis they need to stop. *and they aren't doing a good job even at that

You did not vote to give Elon Musk your social security number. We must go to the courts (that’s in the works) and use the leverage House Democrats have to stop this madness. Republicans can’t pass anything without us. Let’s flex.

Lawyers Mark Zaid, Norm Eisen, and Nancy Gertner of Democracy Defenders Fund threaten to sue DOJ over fired prosecutors and FBI agents. Your turn, Senate. Bring Bondy and Patel back for more questioning.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

@juddlegum.bsky.social not sure this is your beat, but Kash Patel’s lapel pin American flag looks like it has extra stuff? Since this is a crowd that signals things through symbolism, can we dig in on that?
