Trump is calling a bill that he doesn’t understand the only way to save America, and 50 people who mostly DO understand it - and hate it - just voted for it because the guy who doesn’t know what’s in it told them to.
What a clusterfuck.
Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.
Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats.
One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”
This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start
Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.
Welcome to “the Golden Era”

These two things can be true at the same time -
The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.
Wise man in a sweater in his home library 📚 contemplating: I don't know what word in the English language --I can't find one-- applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly stuffed pockets. The word 'evil' doesn't even begin to approach it. ~Noam Chomsky

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.”

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.
The daily chaos we're seeing, planes dropping out of the sky and nuclear weapons officials being fired, measles outbreaks, is all on trump -- the guy who ran to be in fucking charge.
There are unqualified people at every position he nominated, so things will get MUCH worse.
We're only 28 days in.
It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out.
They gut the FAA.
Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted.
Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.
Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
True.
Trump has appointed the tongue-talkin’ carnie act Paula White to run his new, First-Amendment-flouting “White House Faith Office.” She is a ridiculous conwoman.

2 insurrections, same President.
Front page of the nyt
In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server.
Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding
Jared kushner - he told us all that - just like trump told us everything that is happening now
If the IRS is a bureau of the Treas Dept - and Musk takes it over why isn’t that considered an illegitimate department that we no longer have to send our tax dollars to? He wasn’t elected/hired to run/interrupt etc that dept. Isn’t it now considered an illegitimate arm of the USA and its people? 🤷🏻♀️
Worry is unproductive anxiety, a loop of fear without action. It drains energy and fuels stress. Concern, on the other hand, is focused awareness; it identifies problems and seeks solutions. Worry traps you; concern empowers you. Shift from "What if?" to "What can I do?" and turn fear into progress.
BREAKING: Trump has signed an executive order creating a Sovereign Wealth Fund- popular with Middle East monarchies - so the U.S. can buy TikTok. That’s state-run media, folks. www.reuters.com/markets/weal...

Perfectly captured.
