🧵 This is a perfect example of what I've be describing as disordered discourse, and it's threat to democracy. Politicians are afraid to speak openly about key issues. Why? Because disordered discourse has captured the system itself—forcing obedience, punishing dissent, and making truth irrelevant.

It takes several months to complete the FAA Academy and two to four years of on-the-job training to become a certified air traffic controller, but don’t worry, the ones Elon’s DOGEbags want fired will be replaced with “geniuses from M.I.T.” So this is fine. Everything is fine.

The fact Trump is even president is a sign that US intelligence has been in decay for a while, by failing to rein in corporations or Russia's growing influence campaign for years now, how can anyone outside the US even trust it?

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

I was pretty salty yesterday and am still today. The outrageous bullshit from DOGE and Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins is too much. They are waking up a lot of folks that they should have left alone. My latest post dives into it. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Moulton: He doesn’t have any sons or daughters who served in the military after 9/11. If just one of them had signed up, maybe he would know that we served on the ground alongside Canadian troops, French troops, troops from the UK, the Danes, the Poles—And you know, they lost a lot of lives there

My husband ran a successful business and used our local rural post office daily. My elderly neighbor’s meds come through the rural post office. The post office is one of the only places left open in my rural community. Losing it could quite literally kill my town and my neighbors.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

The former head of Kazakhstan’s intelligence service recently claimed that Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, when the 40-year-old real-estate mogul first visited Moscow. This now makes a total of three KGB agents—located in different places and speaking at different times—who agree on that.

If you make a campaign promise as specific as you will "immediately bring prices down, starting on day one," then I don't want to hear any shit excuses about why you're not doing it. I don't care that it's "only" been 45 days. You said starting ON DAY ONE, motherfucker.

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

Per @rwpusa.bsky.social on another platform: "Attention DOGE: When you mess around in the Treasury Department's records and payment systems, remember that since 1789, self dealing and conflicts of interest at the Treasury Department have been a criminal offense. See Section 8."
