Is this because DOGE is assumed to be so incompetent that we should expect their communications are not secure, or is it suggesting that we should assume DOGE is riddled with malign foreign actors?

This is some of the craziest shit an American politician has ever said.

I’m one of the six individual plaintiffs in this case and I’m glad to see that the judge has taken this initial step. The fight continues!

Three days after emptying it, the U.S. has sent more immigration detainees designated for deportation to a prison at Guantánamo Bay.

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

Dan Bongino sued the Daily Beast for $15 million for reporting the NRA fired him for being "unfit for his duties" and not only did he lose but he was found liable for the Beast legal fees and had to pay THEM $40,000

Nextdoor might be both the best & worst app/site out there. Just tremendous!

Jordan Binnington absolutely standing on his head out there. #hockey #analysis

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

what a time to be alive

Get to a TV and put on the NHL’s Four Nations tourney, NOW!

🚨 I’m suing the federal government over a dangerous privacy breach engineered by Trump & Musk’s DOGE program. They’ve given unvetted extremists access to millions of Americans’ sensitive data—my own included. 📝 Read the full story here: open.substack.com/pub/onoffens...

This headline presents the situation much more nicely than it should. The arguments the Trump Admin lawyers are making are half-baked, flimsy, and thin. They know it. The judges know it and are getting angry. abcnews.go.com/US/trump-pus...

Godspeed

Been telling anyone who’d listen that we need another Jurassic Park movie

Jon Hamm looks to be on a two week bender

So close to getting it

I’m old enough to remember when we’d all wake up on Super Bowl Sunday morning and wait to see which player went on a Friday or Saturday night bender and was suddenly out of the game for unspecified reasons

Wrote about some of the good stuff that’s happening. mattdpearce.substack.com/p/investigat...

Not what you want to see tonight on the VA’s website…

“The whole price of eggs thing was always overblown.” www.bbc.com/news/article...

So, a good bet that the 2028 Olympics in L.A., an event Trump has already expressed excitement over, are going to be boycotted by everyone except North Korea? Nobody to blame but your own policies, bubba.

Zach LaVine is the most Sacramento Kings guy ever

Lakers one day dynasty is over!

We’re like a week away from him claiming that the Klan was treated poorly in this country

How can any of us feel anything other than intensely ashamed to be associated with this? Just incredible cruelty and indifference. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/w...

Editor’s Note: Going forward, this feed will refer to JD Vance only as Fuck Face McGee. Thank you.

Tommy Tuberville is so dumb, it’s hard to figure out how to address it. Almost feels like his kind of stupid is contagious, like you can almost see it moving in the air.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

This presser is going to remind A LOT of folks about how badly Trump handled Covid. Just opinions and personal grievances, making it impossible to know what the facts actually are.

Is he really making a partisan speech from the WH briefing room after a plane crash?? Like, still?

The American Airlines collision is a tremendous tragedy. I’m not sure how these investigations are carried out, but my former Commanding Officer in the Coast Guard, Gary Tomasulo, is now the Chief Security Officer for American. He had previously served for 2 years on the National Security Council.

Huh, weird. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/01/29/f...

Not sure a guy who smoked a pack and a half a day for 35 years, only stopping when he switched to e-cigs, should be the leading voice on health and science in America. Really on the fence with this one.

I’ll never be accused of being the smartest dude out there. That said, there’s zero chance that if I got an email like the OMB “buyout” one from an employer, that I’d simply type “RESIGN” in reply to it & then expect that I’m going to actually get paid until Sept. 1st.

Solid 3.9 earthquake here in Boston about 40 mins ago. Second one I’ve ever felt in New England and fourth one I’ve been in on the East Coast.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

We are governed by small, cowardly quislings

Lots of issues with Hegseth’s testimony today, but maybe the most troubling is his overuse of the phrase, “vis-à-vis”.

Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part. Turns out those scenes were almost bang on. The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

right?
