Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Pierre Poilievre is up in Montreal right now making an announcement about fraud protections for seniors. He said they’d pass the Stop Scamming Seniors Act. It would: 1. Mandate real time scam detection systems from banks and telecoms, starting with seniors’ accounts

I appreciate @donmoyn.bsky.social summing up the DOGE fiasco so succinctly. "Don't fire the guys taking care of the nukes... don't fire the guys collecting the money... don't fire the guys keeping the planes in the sky." donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-misma...

"The straight-arm salute." I have no idea what the NYT is for at this point.
The straight-arm salute has meant very different things in different places and during different periods of history. But in Germany, the interpretation of the gesture Elon Musk made during President Trump’s inauguration event this week was straightforward. nyti.ms/4h6c5iE
