A DOGE Bro Allegedly Walked Out Of Social Security With 500 Million Americans’ Records On A Thumb Drive And Expected A Pardon If Caught From the very beginning of the DOGE saga, many of us raised alarms about what would happen when a bunch of inexperienced twenty-somethings were handed unfettered access to the most sensitive databases in the federal government with essentially zero oversight and zero adherence to the security protocols that exist for very good reasons. We wrote about it when a 25-year-old was pushing untested code into the Treasury's $6 trillion payment system…

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.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Trump seems to think he’s been exonerated from the biggest child sex crime in history. The coverup continues.

For the rest of time, if any politician on either side of the Atlantic moans "how are we going to pay for it?" in relation to a public good, I need all journalists to point out that Pete Hegseth spent 15 million taxpayer dollars on ribeye steak in 30 days.

This is the only photograph I know of, of Wyatt Earp & his first wife, Urilla Sutherland Earp, who died of typhoid fever in 1870, while carrying his child.
Those of the 19th century would have given much to have the vaccines & antibiotics we have today.
We are fools to throw what we have away.

New NHS England Review Excluded 97% Of All Trans Studies To Say Care Doesn't Work The new review has led to a ban for HRT through the NHS England system under the age of 18.

1. A new NHS England Review excluded 97% of all trans care studies to conclude that trans youth care doesn't work.

It explicitly violates several guidelines around reviewing literature, and appears to be politics masquerading as (shoddy) science.

A spokesperson for the Social Security Administration, which is still under control by DOGE, denied that a former employee stole data on U.S. citizens. The spokesperson said the Washington Post was “desperate for clicks and eager to publish fake news to scare seniors.” The inspector general’s office; which is independent from the Trump administration, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Thank you @lorenzofb.bsky.social for accurately reporting that the Social Security Administration is *still* under the control of DOGE. This information is needed for the story to make sense.

Pete Hegseth Blew Billions on Fruit Basket Stands, Chairs, and Crab The Defense Department went on a $93 billion spending spree in 2025.

We pay. They play.

DOD spending in September ALONE included a $98,329 piano, a $26,000 violin, a $21,750 handmade flute, $2 million for Alaskan king crab, $6.9 million for lobster tail, 15.1 million for ribeye steak, and $139,224 on 272 orders of doughnuts.

This reminds me of the video of all the Sinclair Broadcast Group's anchors mindlessly parroting the same dishonest, right-wing script. We are living in a time rife with propaganda.

Lawrence Jones, an employee of a propaganda machine, warns Democrats not to feed Iranian propaganda by commenting on reality. Americans hate wars in the Middle East and increased fuel prices. Also what was Fox doing when Biden was president? Creating anti-American propaganda.

Gruesome Newsom's position here is the "civil union" nonsense alternative of trans rights.

Nothing short of full rights for LGBT people is enough.

The right wing will stop at nothing short of zero rights, and conceding here is giving them a big head start.

While Americans spent the weekend watching gas prices rise because of his illegal war with Iran, Donald Trump spent the weekend golfing.

America’s sons and daughters are being put in harms way because of his rogue and reckless actions, and this is how he is spending his time.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

🚨This is HUGE. In a lawsuit against Operation Metro Surge, a Trump appointee rules that DHS "likely maintained unconstitional policies" during the massive ICE operation.

However, "largely owing to" ICE's somewhat decreased presence in Minneapolis, the judge denied a court order on standing grounds.

What do they all have in common?

They've all spoken out about Ticketmaster ripping off fans.

But Trump just gave Ticketmaster the equivalent of a corporate pardon.

It's a betrayal of every fan in America.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
