NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

At some point soon, this won’t even be a controversial view. The government’s relationship with SpaceX as it stands right now is untenable. www.thebulwark.com/p/nationaliz...

BREAKING: Travis County judge granted Gina Hinojosa's request to inspect Greg Abbott's unredacted Elon Musk emails. Elon Musk downfall is coming

if only there had been a way to predict this might happen based on nearly every midterm election cycle in modern american political history

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Congressman Jason Crow, who sits on the House Armed Services committee, just announced that his number one goal should Democrats retake the House in November, will be to remove Pete Hegseth from his role as the Secretary of Defense.

When the shitshow that is our 21st century politics gets you down, I recommend watching "Darkest Hour" and realizing that everyone has the opportunity to choose what's right - and most of us can do it without facing the existential threat faced by Sir Winston.

Actually, Todd Blanche, President Trump has twice stated at campaign rallies that he instructed you to file this suit to help ensure that Dan Sullivan would be reelected. This is one more reason why you are likely to be disbarred after the Disciplinary Committee is acquainted with all the facts.

The biggest lie of capitalism is that it is efficient and justly rewards people for their labor and efforts

Some consultant is gonna call Obama and reflexively tell him to turn down the heat (possibly a consultant who worked for Obama!) before remembering that he’s not president anymore.

He’s acting like he committed a massive error he cannot take back. apnews.com/article/russ...

In actual Ukraine? Just some of kids of the elites giving the ultimate sacrifice!

Me: "It cannot be stated often enough or vociferously enough: the Trump Administration is helping Russia to conquer Ukraine. The United States of America has taken the side of an aggressor against its innocent victim. We are helping our actual enemies" www.aei.org/foreign-and-...

🧵🧵🧵 10 ways the planet’s richest person, Elon Musk, has been busy making the world worse. A thread. 1. Buying crooked politicians like Ken Paxton.

Elon Musk is spending hundreds of millions to elect Republicans, an unprecedentedly huge amount from one person, and it’s a lot less than the value of contracts his companies got from this government he paid to elect and worked in. Many reports say “his own money,” few note unprecedentedly corrupt.

In Trump's other big war—the one against drug dealers and traffickers in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific—evidence produced at trial increasingly shows that all those big-time drug dealers are in fact just fishermen. And Trump has murdered nearly 300 of them. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

This doesn’t sound like draining the swamp.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: MeidasTouch obtained NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN photos and videos revealing devastating damage to U.S. bases from Trump's Iran war. Troops and military families describe being abandoned by their own government. “It’s so much worse than people realize.”

In Ohio, the public's tolerance for disgusting politics may be reaching a tipping point www.editorialboard.com/in-ohio-the-...

Vivek Ramaswamy is an absolute ghoul with zero shame and zero business near power.

This is mayyyybe the first paper I've seen on US drone-related injuries (not Iran War): doi.org/10.1093/milm...

As the former Chief of DOJ’s Counterintelligence Section, my work was devoted to protecting against threats to our national security, including threats by foreign actors to the integrity of our elections. Now, astonishingly, the greatest threat comes from within. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Silicon Valley promises to make AI totally safe—but that may be technically impossible, @matteowong.bsky.social reports.

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

A $1bn to make sure that "Musk" the documentary won't be broadcast on any Skydance outlets. www.semafor.com/article/10/2...

After dithering yesterday, Trump comes out strongly in support of Ramaswamy's ad, calling Acton's mother - who sided with her husband when he was arrested for abusing her 12-year-old and even went on the run with him, never seeing her daughter again - the true hero here.

I guarantee that Hegseth could not tell you why the Battle of Agincourt was important, or quite a single line from Shakespeare’s memorializing of it.

Fidelity to the Administration, not the statutes or the Constitution: and again, the problem is that like all censorship regimes, it places pressure on the advice people are willing to give in dangerous or sensitive circumstances.

The Pentagon office tapped in 2022 to oversee the military’s responsible use of AI had filled just three of 10 authorized positions as of February 2026. 🔗Link to article in comments ⬇️

To-do list for SD Mayor Pete and DSD Uncle Frank (and the transition team): - at 1201 rip down the stupid fucking sign, regardless of whether Congress has officially changed the name (not looking good for the 27 NDAA lol) - at 1202 issue orders to rename all the confederate bases back*

Every member of Congress needs to see this ad. The fact that we’ve reached this point should terrify everyone.

One of the things Teddy Roosevelt understood is that if any private citizen holds more power than the government, the republic is in deep trouble.

One more big round of attacks and Iran will break, I swear dude, that's it, just one more and I'm done forever.

The president shouting "fake news" is bad enough, but the FCC commissioner threatening to punish broadcasters for promoting "fake news" like "the president is historically unpopular" is so much worse. Add this clown to the list of officials who need to be impeached and removed.

In any other admin, this would probably be the most outrageous official statement ever made by a sitting FCC director: Strongly implying that the government forbids broadcast networks from reporting on the president's falling poll numbers. (Sorry to paste from twitter but that's where he posts.)

Bring it on. 'Current and former Pentagon officials are set to “spill their guts” to Congress about Pete Hegseth, sources have said.' www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026... cc @dpounder.bsky.social @fergdawg.bsky.social #veterans

This month’s Foreign Affairs is a land of contrasts. It includes a great piece by @himself.bsky.social and @abenewman.bsky.social on “choke points” and an absolute 🗑️🔥 of an essay by Niall Ferguson et al. on the “Empire of AI” www.foreignaffairs.com/issues/2026/...

"the United States has come to embrace a perverse and unsustainable orientation to the rest of the world: extreme belligerence paired with strategic fecklessness." @jkdemp.bsky.social

NEW: Hegseth's chaotic secret evacuation of a US base in Bahrain left military families in harm's way. “They’re not telling the truth. They’re not telling the full story. They’re not telling how much damage there really was." www.ms.now/news/militar...

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

It appears that House Republicans may vent their anger over Trump's appeasement of the Kremlin by supporting a Democratic effort to impeach Pete Hegseth. But in truth, he has virtually no support in the House these days. punchbowl.news/article/defe...

One thing that consistently marks the Hegseth Pentagon is total indifference towards the physical well-being of US uniformed personnel abroad and their dependents. The situation on Bahrain is a striking example of this. www.ms.now/news/militar...

What the f—k does that word salad even mean??

Putting aside how dystopian this is (no small task), citing terms of service converts a geopolitical decision into contract enforcement, which gives everyone deniability. Does anyone accountable own where the line was drawn?
