I remain shocked that the fact that Epstein is on tape calling Trump his “closest friend” never penetrated the national consciousness.
The timing of the release before the election and the fact that it came from Michael Wolff didn’t help — but it’s from Epstein’s mouth!

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Hegseth used Signal app connected to 'dirty line' on personal computer in Pentagon office: Sources
It was connected to the internet on an unsecured commercial line, sources said.
Hegseth is grossly incompetent. This isn’t new. But at what point do we wonder whether he’s intentionally opening our military secrets up to outside actors? You don’t accidentally install a new computer and separate internet line in the Pentagon.

So, if you’re not a good ally, we can takeover your territory? Sounds like the German approach ahead of the start of WW II.

‘Stage four megalomaniac’: Conservative George Conway warns Trump ‘declared war’ at DOJ
Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway warned Friday that inside President Donald Trump’s grievance-filled speech at the Department of Justice hours earlier was a declaration of war on the legal com...
“In October of 2024, just before the election, … NPR …they looked it up and they said, ‘… over 100 times, [Trump] has threatened to prosecute his enemies.’ This is Donald Trump. We are at stage four megalomania. He is just doing what he has always told us he wants to do.”

If you attack the Capitol to overturn election results and to overthrow democracy on behalf of a criminal, you’re a hero.
If you attack a Tesla dealership, we’ll throw away the key.

Understanding DOGE as Procurement Capture - Anil Dash
A blog about making culture. Since 1999.
I believe Musk and DOGE disbanded 18F because we stood in the way of their "procurement capture" operation. We get the government *out* of wasteful contracts. Musk wants that money back for himself.
Explanation by @anildash.com of procurement capture:

You should know that a big part of 18F's work was to make sure multi-million to multi-*hundreds*-of-millions dollar contracts at fed *and* state level didn't go to shitty enterprise IT consultancies that *repeatedly* delivered tech that didn't work, was late, or didn't even do what it needed to

Federal Tech Workers Fired in Latest DOGE Purge
The workers said their group, known as 18F, was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want. Then they were fired.
"18F was popular among the agencies; annoying to the contracting community; and frightening to the contractors and consultants who could charge unsuspecting agencies whatever they could get away with."
We were eliminated because we frighten Musk

“We’re still absorbing what has happened. We’re wrestling with what it will mean for ourselves and our families, as well as the impact on our partners and the American people.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.
He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

The United States Secretary of State sitting in front of a Saudi flag, a country that funds terrorism and killed an American journalist is speaking on behalf of a brutal dictator. This is a slap in the face to every veteran and every American. How much more damage are we willing to endure.

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?
