Remember when we lost our minds over the Patriot Act because we didn’t want the gov spying on us—now there’s a company literally named after Sauron’s magic eyeball aggregating data so hard it tells your insurer you’re high risk for Googling “can stress make your teeth fall out”.

Reminder: when Sean Duffy was a congressman, he and other Republicans voted against upgrading air traffic control systems. Now, he’s trying to blame those systems for Newark airport’s outages – while claiming DOGE’s cuts of critical support staff at the FAA had nothing to do with it. Hello?

A 25-year-old DOGE bro at the CFPB held $715,000 in stocks that ethics lawyers told him he wasn’t allowed to own while working there — then DOGE fired those ethics lawyers. This is corruption. Always call it out.

🔥 Moskowitz DOGE-s the Republican budget

Orwellian…

Classic abuser move: create a crisis and then position yourself as its solution. After the abuser “solves” the crisis, he will expect gratitude and adoration.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Let me translate two things this libertarian light nincompoop is saying: Personal liberties means doing whatever the fuck I want. Free markets means doing whatever the fuck I want. He’s an adult toddler.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

The Revolution will be AI-icized

The evil is here.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

WATCH: “Finding the Money” With Elon & Trump fearmongering about the debt, it’s a good day to watch this doc (with @stephaniekelton.bsky.social ) — the way we look at our national debt is wrong. We are not broke. They are missing half the picture. Link: findingthemoney.vhx.tv/products/fin...

The sad and inconvenient truth…
