DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID — the agency that feeds starving people around the world.
Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.
Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)
Folks in Maine and Alaska: please call Collins and Murkowski to oppose the confirmation of Casey Means for Surgeon General. They are apparently still on the fence and MAHA is pushing them hard to vote in favor.
Trump lied…again.
So honored by this recognition of our reporting -- that was a real team effort -- about kids in family immigration detention.
Since I wasn’t clear in my last post, lemme try again:
WOW. A democrat got enough votes to force a runoff in this very red district. That it’s even close is bananas. This is MTGs old seat.
Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.
Oh ffs. Witkoff apparently went on TV today and said that Russia told him they're not helping Iran and we can trust the Russians and take them at their word.
We have idiots in charge.
UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE.
In their remarks, neither Pete Hegseth nor Dan Caine this morning addressed the girls school that was bombed.
They did not get A SINGLE QUESTION about it from people they called on in the room loaded with right-wing hacks.
"Trump chose to go to war and has taken explicit satisfaction in his power of life and death. War is a grave step after all other options have been exhausted. That Trump had other courses of action is well known. That he preferred this one is hard to unsee." My column. www.ft.com/content/2f3e...
Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Vance: "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."
Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would
EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel · 29m Enrique Tarrio, adjudicated terrorist and seditionist whom Trump pardoned, responds to my tweet by claiming he doesn't read my shit. 🤪 Quote Enrique Tarrio @NobleOne · 2h Replying to @emptywheel Reminder: No one reads your shit. Enrique Tarrio @NobleOne · 28m You literally mentioned me… And got ratioed. Sit down ho’ EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel You, still reading my stuff.

Incidentally, Tarrio doesn't like when people talk about his conviction as a seditionist terrorist.
Also, by "ratioed" he meant about 10 of his boyfriends calling me the r-word like cavemen.
DOJ confirmed that 47,635 Epstein files have been removed.
That’s ANOTHER 47,635 reasons why we need ACCOUNTABILITY!
Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.
Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.
They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
So…we’re NOT invading to protect the Iranians who protested the regime, like Trump claimed?
Now we’re going to kill them all instead?

The crocuses and camellias are out in the #pnw, just in time for #FlowersOnFriday! The camellia is mine; the crocuses were shot at the Western State Hospital cemetery. #lakewood
How can so many people in positions of influence in our society somehow think it is ok for a US president to think he can simply pick and choose world leaders, launch wars, claim territory, seize assets, wherever he wants whenever he wants? This is madman movie villain behavior. Absolutely nuts.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Well would you look at that
Kristi Noem claiming she "ushered in the golden age of travel" is a perfect example of how MAGA is assaulting the plain meaning of words
This is the policy puzzle of supporting Minnesota families hiding from ICE: they're fearful of the institutions trying to help them, because they're intermixed with institutions that are hunting them down. That's why schools have become the locus of so much aid: years of accumulated trust.
The Pentagon is spending $1,000,000,000/day to distract you from Donald Trump's alleged pedophilia.
