Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

"why don't you just admit your problem and seek help?" because even if you are the most despicable person known for the deaths of hundreds of children, being a sexual predator, and dumping dead bears in parks, the worst thing to people is being an addict (ya know, a fucking disease)

No need to parse dog whistles with the advocate for Germany’s neo-Nazi party, who laments the end of Apartheid in South Africa, does sig heils in public, denigrates minorities, and proclaims that white men are inherently superior. Yes, he is. We don’t need to ask anymore, we need to deal with it.

Every person infected with measles can infect more than a dozen additional people. I hope that systems still exist to even deal with this because if the estimates are true this is already one of the worst outbreaks in decades.

Apparently the new right wing talking point on USAid is bringing up some nonsense they all misunderstood from a few years ago. "Why can't we audit USAid when Biden wanted to audit your Venmo account?" is the new line. I'm going to keep track of how many times I see this today.

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link. Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts. This was a Superbowl ad. And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Darkly funny that Republicans spent four years insisting that Biden was a senile puppet of [insert right-wing bogeyman here] and the second they returned to power the entire party very publicly handed over the keys to the federal government to an unelected fascist billionaire

Unquestionably, major policy changes, edicts and directives handed down by the new Trump administration will upend lives. But I've also been struck by the widespread efforts to erase/whitewash history. Stick with me for a pretty shocking series of events from just the past few weeks.

The administration is not targeting immigrants with violent records. They're targeting the immigrants who are easiest to get: those who show to court and follow the rules. It's a great way to ensure that undocumented people stop coming to court. They're also already ensnaring U.S. citizens.
