Yeah yeah agree.
Yeah yeah agree.
4/ If true, these allegations are as bad (in my opinion) as DOGE having โGod levelโ access to voting machines. Arguably, these allegations present an even worse scenario because there is no recount that can help us if, hypothetically, key House & Senate races are stolen via bogus voter purges.

As I reported here, there was plenty of cause for concern re: the โSAVEโ voter purge system even before this most recent whistleblower came forward. 2/ bsky.app/profile/jenn...
Trump said this week that Iran was 2 weeks away from having a nuclear bomb. This is what he said in July.
It would be amazing if we can flip this seat. Run off on April 7th.

A good read.
Since WW2, the #NIH has operated as a decentralized entity. Priorities were set by Congress, but independently executed by experts. This led to its success.
Now, political appointees have unprecedented control over what research gets funded, harming science.

If true, DOGEโs alleged compromise of SSA systems threatens the security of the 2026 election bc the DHSโs โSAVEโ voter purge systemโwhich 27 states have already begun usingโdecides who to purge based on info from SSAโs systems. The GOPโs Save America Act wld force all 50 states to use โSAVEโ. 1/
SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: 60% of Americans have concerns about election integrity

Lawrence Wilkerson, retired U.S. Army colonel and former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, says the U.S. and Israel are committing wanton โwar crimesโ in Iran. โWe have bombed civilians relentlessly. We have bombed a school.
โIn my 15 years in the Senate, I have never left a briefing this angry. We are heading down a path toward sending U.S. troops to Iran as ground forces,โ โ Sen. Richard Blumenthal
He said they kissed and made up and are good friends now!๐คฎ
Thank you. And so it is as bad as we all thought.
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.
But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?
They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.
3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.
2/ Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal.
But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.
They're hiding their incompetence behind the valor of our men and women in uniform.
As if to question why we're at war is to question our heroes. No, it's to make sure the mission is worth their sacrifices.
Our troops will always do their job.
Republicans need to do theirs.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Here's the truth:
Senate Republicans could pay our TSA agents and fund FEMA today. In fact, they could've funded it last week. @democrats.senate.gov brought a simple, clean bill that would fund these essential agencies while we keep negotiating on ICE and CBP.
Republicans blocked it.
Mockler: The neocon boomers surrounding Trump are mortgaging my generation's future for another very expensive Middle Eastern war. We tried this with Iraq. We tried this with Afghanistan. It left us in trillions and trillions of dollars in debt.
