Fun Fact About Me: I intentionally join Teams meetings a minute or so late so I don’t have to make awkward small talk while everyone else joins.

really sucks how the White House has basically become rapist wakanda

I mean.

Schumer says they’ll fix DC funding in a standalone bill. I’ll take things that aren’t going to happen for $500, Alex.

NEW: Here are the 10 “democratic” senators that voted to sell out veterans, the American people, and their colleagues in the House. Cortez Masto Durbin Fetterman Gillibrand Hassan King Peters Schatz Schumer Shaheen

It is important that people understand and accept as fact that our government is compromised. I don't mean compromised in some cloak-and-dagger sense, I simply mean that this government no longer accepts core democratic principles and is angling toward an autocracy that's part of a New Axis of Evil.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

The secretary of Defense has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions, sources tell Recorded Future News. https://therecord.media/hegseth-orders-cyber-command-stand-down-russia-planning

Every time I get on my phone to do literally anything

We are in this together.

Sign of the day…

Everything he says about deportation camps on military bases is spot on—and alarming. But don’t get thrown off by the name Blackwater. It’s still out there—rebranded. Blackwater became Xe in 2009, then Academi in 2011, before merging into Constellis in 2014. The name changed but the op lives on. 🧵

You know what type of people a $5 million "Gold Card" for US citizenship will attract? Successful criminals and state-sponsored spies. Well done, Donald, after years of accusing Democrats of using immigration to bring unsavory people to the US, you prove that you were, once again, just projecting.

@governor.ca.gov I would love to see California follow suit.

DEI book? Count me in. *immediately adds to TBR*

Amen to that.

I've seen an old misunderstanding going around; that libraries don't benefit authors. But they do! A lot! Here's how:

Firing America's senior military leadership overnight and replacing them with party loyalists is definitely dictatorship stuff, if anyone is under a rock right now.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Folks, I can’t stress this enough: Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit!

Bernie Sanders: "We're not only dealing with a move toward authoritarianism, we're dealing with what is new to America -- politicians have always lied, nothing new about that. But the level that we're seeing right now. The big lie, over and over again ... "

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

I don’t think a lot of people have met straight white tech bros (usually with Stanford or Harvard education) who literally think they can do anything better without any proper training, perspective, or experience. Anything. Dunning-Kruger.
