So, just to recap, we have two random DOGE bros with basically no knowledge or experience in the humanities (and at least one of whom is a college dropout), who just went around terminating grants that had gone through a full grant application process by feeding in a list of culture war grievance terms, selecting out the grant titles based on the appearance of seemingly “woke” words, then asking ChatGPT “yo, tell me this is DEI” and then sending termination emails the next day from a private server and forging the director’s signature. This is what “government efficiency” looks like in practice: two guys with zero relevant experience, a keyword list built on culture war grievances, and a chatbot confidently spitting out 120-character verdicts on federal grants that went through actual review processes. The experts who might have explained what these grants actually do? Locked out. The director whose signature appeared on termination letters? Couldn’t tell you which grants got cut or w
Ever wondered how your grant got cancelled? No we know. Some college dropout asked ChatGPT "is it DEI/woke"?

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization."

It turns out the U.S. did a “double tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.
That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.
It makes me want go know more about this event 😜
Because they know most of us don't want this war and they'll lose the support they do have if they show the actual images.

I think she's right...
The US and Israel have bombed at least 13 hospitals and health facilities in Iran and one in Lebanon.
The New Yorker Kristi Noem will be remembered as the most incompetent Secretary in the 23-year history of the D.H.S. now
I don’t think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for.
It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.
This is a beautiful portrait from the inimitable @ricksteves.bsky.social of the people who are suffering in Iran, both under its theocracy and from our nation's warmongering.
Tweet by ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl @jonkarl In a lengthy phone interview, President Trump marveled at the success of the military operation against Iran and expressed no concern about what comes next. "I hope you are impressed," he said to me. "How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?" I said _nobody questions the success of the military operation_, the concern is what happens next. "Forget about next," he answered. "They are decimated for a 10-year period before they could build it back." 3:26 PM · Mar 5, 2026 · 71.8K Views https://x.com/jonkarl/status/2029654727093325965

I’d really prefer it if our SecDef didn’t sound like Starscream.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.
