“The Pentagon is in ‘total chaos’ and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department.”

EVERY accusation is ALWAYS a confession with these people!

Oh, the irony 😂—talk about paid protesters! MAGA has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk in Pennsylvania, alleging he failed to pay individuals who gathered signatures for a petition during the 2024 presidential campaign.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

The Atlantic reporter is lying, but if he didn't lie, then we didn't say classified stuff, but if we did say classified stuff, we knew what we were doing, unless we didn't know what we were doing, and if that's true, then everyone makes mistakes, except Pete Hegseth, who just says fuck you

This all could get much, much worse and it’s already very bad. The time to organize against this in a broad, clear-eyes movement is now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Stop waiting on midterms or some leader to emerge. Organize in your lives as quickly as possible.

Harriet Hageman got booed to oblivion last night in her own town hall for pumping up Doge so hard that even her loyal suckers woke up and smelled the bullshit—about five months too late!

Pathetic man-child works for me, though I tend to use whiny adult toddler. Read this about @thevivllainous.bsky.social who is genuinely funny online (and, as you will see, off).

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

$200 million to stoke one small fragile ego. Meanwhile HHS has cancelled the Flu Shot ad campaign. NOW you know his priorities!!!!

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

bbc.comThe '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the worldNonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

18 days ago @chrislhayes.bsky.social posted this. At the time, we admit it: this felt like cope. After listening to Leah walk through the *massive* amount of growth @indivisible.org is experiencing... it does not feel like cope. Not at all. Chris was right. Something huge is happening.

Feel deep in my bones that the backlash to all of this is going to be enormous. Not sure how it will manifest and when it will explode into view, but confident it’s coming.
