Of all events reported by Heather Cox Richardson recently, this is the most chilling: "Michael Scherer, Missy Ryan, and Ashley Parker of The Atlantic reported today that Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have moved onto military bases."

40 Years ago Carl Sagan knew about Climate change and he was so aware of it's impact on Nature more than us we do right now.

At least they were contained to the base. Performative waste of tax dollars though.

Just 3 hours after arriving, Vance & his wife depart Greenland. And they never even left the military base. For a country as hospitable as Greenland, it is a remarkable feat to be so loathed you can’t leave the airport. Another staggering waste of taxpayer dollars. 🇬🇱🤝🇩🇰🤝🇪🇺 (🎥 VP Press Sec)

Found the real fraud and corruption...

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Don't go there! It's not worth the risk.

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

What gets me is that there's someone pushing the delete button, at NASA, Defense, everywhere, just following orders or should I say, 'Executive Orders'. There are actual people at work doing this.

Politics influences every aspect of our lives. Every dollar we spend is a VOTE on the kind of country we want to live in and what our life will be like.

I'd like to bring this video to your attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco... It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Indeed.

Republicans Against Trumpism@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social

BBC’s Steve Rosenberg reports from Russia that JD Vance’s speech at the Munich conference “has gone down well in Moscow.” That alone should tell you everything you need to know about the speech and what the Trump administration really stands for.

Hmmm….leave the WHO, defund and gag the CDC, and put an antivaxxer in charge of health, all on the eve of a novel health crisis. What could possibly go wrong?

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

"The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone." - Robert Reich.
