Not Ralph Malph

What is Markwayne Mullins’ middle name?

I heard Markwayne Mullins is being appointed DHS secretary, but that must have been a misspoke.

I don’t want to speculate about the DC shooter’s identity, but if it was a leftist trans vegan with an Antifa membership card, I think there would have been a tweet from Kash Patel by now.

Republicans told Democrats they would starve the 42 million Americans on SNAP if they don’t agree to take coverage away from the 24 million Americans with ACA health insurance. I don’t like the choice these D’s made. But could we be angriest with the R’s who forced the choice?

The White House has announced the site of Friday’s summit :

Why does the media report Trump’s tariff threats without any mention of the fact that he has no authority under the Constitution to impose any of these tariffs?

What makes it OK for military aircraft to be used as props for a signing ceremony for a piece of partisan legislation? Why are military leaders OK with this?

Customs and Border Protection has broad authority to search travelers’ devices when they cross into the United States. Here’s what you can do to protect your digital life while at the US border.

We need to do something about America’s pope deficit. There are far more Americans becoming Popes than there are Popes becoming Americans.

There needs to be a massive protest. A million people packing the streets of DC, making the parade impossible. Nonviolent civil disobedience. They can’t arrest a million people.

Txt STOP to opt out of updates on war plans

They're not going to evaluate the responses. They're going to use the responses as fresh training material for Grok AI

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

By 2028 we will be a much weaker, poorer, more isolated, more lawless, and more unstable country. It will take a very long time to repair that damage, if there even is a 2028 election that allows installation of a government interested in repairing it.

It was truly disgusting to me , whose uncle died in Sobibor, that JDVance visited Dachau and then went to a meeting with AfD, all within 24 hours. They are blatantly apparent and are not hiding where they stand.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

To the tune of the song Toyland: Greenland, Greenland Red, White and Blue Land When you conquer it from Denmark You are never happy there! Red White and Blue Land Is no longer Greenland Once you leave NATO You can never return again (not again)!

If only Defense and Transportation had Inspectors General to investigate this crash.

There must be urgent conversations going on among world leaders about putting together a world order that excludes the United States. If Trump keeps this up we’re going to wind up as isolated from the world as North Korea. And just about as poor. The huge winner from all of this would be China.

I’m hearing Canada is going to rename the Gulf of Alaska the Gulf of Canada.

Do you suppose they moved the inauguration inside out of concern that a bolt of lightning might come down from the sky and hit Trump when he put his hand on the Bible to take the oath?

In 3 days, Trump is going to swear to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, which requires him to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. Isn’t he already saying he won’t do that when he says he won’t follow the Til Tok law?

Fettermanchin is going to Mar a Lago. He should look at liveaboard yachts while he’s in Florida.

Thank you to our Canadian and Mexican neighbors for helping with the LA fires. Most Americans respect our neighbors, allies, and friendly nations around the world. It’s sad that 49% of them voted for a President who doesn’t.

It’s clear that, after Trump’s tariffs and deportations spark inflation and crash the economy, his narrative will be that it’s Biden’s fault.

I was on Twitter too long. Every time I see someone post a cat picture saying “Happy Caturday” it makes me think they’re saying Happy “Catturd Day.”

What did Mike Dunleavy do to piss off Trump? It looks like he’ll be passed over entirely.

Saying this as broadly as possible: Bluesky has a lot of conversations and longer threads. Coming in hot on someone for a single quoted post or a single skeet you see in the wild, without context, is "Twitter behavior" and generally sucks. Click through and double-check, it costs you next to nothing

None of Trump’s appointees, including Gaetz, can serve as “acting” officials under the Vacancies Act. www.acus.gov/sites/defaul...

Matt Gaetz has already resigned from Congress.🤔

Folks: we hate doing these posts, but now is the time to rebuild our pro-democracy community right here on BlueSky. No more leaving our future in the hands of Elon Musk. If you are able, please follow, repost this, and let your followers know we are here. Let's do this!

I’m not a swiftie but it’s kind of charming that my feed is full of swifties. Maybe I should become one.
