This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

I’m not a federal government employee but here are my ‘five bullets’ of what I ‘accomplished’ last week: 1. Pissed off JD Vance 2. Pissed off Elon Musk 3. Taped a hilarious convo with Hasan Minhaj (out next month) 4. Taped a great convo with Jemele Hill 5. Drank more than one chocolate milkshake.

What’s wasteful is ordering feds to explain their jobs instead of letting them DO their jobs.

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Not fresh observation but the idea that “government should be run like a business” is an exceedingly stupid one that fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of a functioning democratic government. Redundancies in the event of any problem occurring are the point, not a failure or “bloat”
