Promoting Laws Against Good Useful Epidemiology Make previously eradicated diseases great again! Junk science Anti-Vax Bureaucracy

Federalist Society member who clerked for Scalia resigns because of DOJ corruption. MAGA: SHE’S A DEM PLANT!! You really, really can’t reason with the majority of these people.

If Trump sells F-35s to India, the era of US air dominance is over. Full stop.

You should ask yourself why the GOP wants to impeach judges who rule against them but not Clarence Thomas, who failed to report millions of dollars in bribes, erm, “gifts” on his financial disclosures.

Elon Musk’s DOGE Posts Classified Data On Its New Website “People are scrambling” to see if their sensitive information has been accessed by Musk’s programmers, said one federal intelligence employee. www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

Unreal. DOGE posted National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) headcounts. NRO budgets and headcounts are classified to prevent adversaries from using them to extrapolate our intelligence priorities. Stop giving kids who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing access to this shit.

1. Yes, this is some weird shit. 2. He’s getting ready to do something really fucking illegal.

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

Kinda weird that SecDef is announcing to the world that he has tax problems. Totally normal to blame Biden for your failure to pay taxes

To be clear: the United States Government deployed this family to a country with substandard healthcare with the promise that help would be on the way if they ever needed it. Now, Donald Trump twice denied this woman a potentially life-saving, embassy-requested medevac.

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

Russia isn’t our friend. Bush tried. Obama tried. Trump tried during his first term. It’s an admirable goal, but it doesn’t work. No matter how much Trump capitulates to Putin, Russia won’t be our friend.

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

Promoting an 0-9 to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is insane - Trump is going to have to promote him to four star AND waive the legal requirements to even hold the position Dan Caine had a distinguished career, but he’s never been a vice chair, combatant commander or service chief

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.
