When Justice is blind, bad guys take the fifth. When justice is corrupt, good guys take the fifth. Feel free to share.

Who thinks the DoD needs a $1T+ budget when, again, they blew through $93B in “end of year” funds in September 2005 to ensure their budget for FY2026 didn’t get reduced? Not me.

Is it just me, or is Iran starting to look suspiciously like Vietnam, Afghanistan,and Iraq? Tremendous military buildup without a clearly defined goal or national support.

How many “temporary” 140 day special government employee stints should someone be able to do (à la Corey Lewandowski) until lawmakers take notice of the actual abuse of the law?

So. I guess the question I have is…Is Tulsi Gabbard trying to become Kristi Noem now?

Is it just me, or did anyone else notice the huge number of posts on X from earlier today trumpeting the resurgent stock market? I kept looking for the 4pm follow up posts, but they were all suddenly strangely silent. I wonder why?

Ravi: Their response initially was to attack Jeffrey Goldberg. Let’s just assume that he is this anti-American, hostile person. Well, that’s even worse—you let this person in your chat.

Krishnamoorthi presents receipts from the Signal chat showing that classified info was clearly disclosed by Hegseth and calls for his resignation

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) puts Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, in the hot seat about where she was during the group chat text exchanges of the military plan and to explain her classification standards.

"Any security professional - military, government, other than otherwise - would be fired on the spot for this type of conduct and criminally prosecuted for being so reckless with this kind of information." - Pete Hegseth on Hillary Clinton in 2016

I feel Elon has made his first big mistake with today’s email.

The press shouldn’t even bother with Karoline Leavitt anymore. She is a worse liar and “but what about” -ist than Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Can’t believe her presser answers about the social security fraud. When called out, she actually tried to make it about the reporter.

Never heard of this, but maybe he is on to something? x.com/cwebbonline/...

So, just how many federal employees are staying home, not working, and getting paid in salary and benefits? Across all the agencies that are being shuttered? What is our cost in this travesty?

BREAKING -- Trump says he's kicking undocumented immigrants out of Social Security. One small problem, though -- undocumented immigrants are ALREADY ineligible for Social Security benefits. You know, because they don't have Social Security numbers. Because they're undocumented.

Somebody explain how no one is reporting on how Netanyahu was able to get Trump to save him from having to rebuild Gaza? And, if we need to move the Palestinians from Gaza, aren’t there literally hundreds of Israeli settlements that have been illegally built over the years?

Is it just me, or is the picture of the “honored guests” at the inaugural standing in a row telling in that all the billionaires had the front row while the nominated cabinet members were in the background?

Food for thought. If Trump truly thinks “I alone can fix it”, then Democrats perhaps need to force him to fix every.single.problem. Shove the Presidency Down Trump’s Throat newrepublic.com/post/190337/... via @newrepublic.com

So, rank and file senators are not able to see the FBI background check on Pete Hegseth and other Trump nominees, but Trump transition team members can?? We vote for these people, not for Trump lackeys. www.axios.com/2025/01/14/t...

This passage from Carl Sagan should be required reading in these “trying” times…
