I’d say all successes in the sense that a food vendor to a private prison may charge $100 per prisoner per day, but only spends $5 of that on what is delivered with the rest being grift.

You know, I think it’s pretty weird that Missouri Republicans can find a way to regulate every uterus in the state, but they can’t find a way to regulate corporate data centers…

Trump Dick Riding Syndrome (TDRS) [Truhmp dik-ry-ding sin-drohm] /noun/ An on-going mental condition where a person's absolute worship and blind loyalty to Donald Trump has led them to abandon all logic and reason in a paranoid frenzy of sycophancy.

All of this.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

A spokesman for the Department of the Defense insists that Secretary Hegseth tried to contact the survivors on the Venezuelan boat by Signal chat several times before firing the second missile.

TRUMP CAN LOSE IMMUNITY NOW

I’ve read the Republican healthplan. Here it is: 🖕

Rebuild the White House.

can never forget that Fred Trump spent his later years totally gaga but surrounded by a gaggle of senility-denial-enablers who drove him to a make believe office where a make believe secretary had him sign make believe papers—which sounds cute til you see the sequel & the secretary is Stephen Miller

just in case you didn’t get called up I’m selling these

I took a stroll through D.C., trying to see my city through the tactical Oakleys of a DEA agent patrolling the National Mall slate.com/news-and-pol...

Kate Manne has the receipts. Please read and share this incredible piece of work.

The administration has argued that the destruction of Iran's uranium metal production lines at Isfahan will set its nuclear-weapon program back by "years." At Arms Control Wonk, I argue it may not even set Tehran back by months. www.armscontrolwonk.com/archive/1220...

Josh Hawley never cared…

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

For years Repubs have pushed back on any prescriptive advice from govt on nutrition or purchases. So they elected Trump who is making foreign goods unaffordable and he appointed Kennedy who is going to tell us how to eat and get rid of medicine (the govt will emphasize prevention, not cure.)

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Everyone should be screaming like this! More of this, now please!

I believe Musk and his buddies also want access to this data to fulfill their personal and professional ambitions. Musk has long wanted complete control over consumer banking. Finally, the data they seek - much of it already moved to private servers - can be sold or monetized in countless ways.

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

Who outside of Doge knows/has audited any code placed on federal servers by these insurrectionists? Is it even possible to get an APT like Musk out of our systems?

Trump and Musk are carpet bombing the US with political bombs. The shock waves may take longer to arrive than with kinetic arms, but arrive they eventually do with devastating consequences. Loss of foreign influence will hurt us badly. Internal repression will tear the country apart.

When are the airlines going to weigh in about how presidents musk and trump are completely undermining public confidence in air travel through their unvetted rat fucking of air traffic control systems and horrendous mismanagement of the employees that maintain, manage and operate them?

Democrats should be in rural and red areas right now. Talk to the folks and tell them who is hurting them. Right now. We are missing a massive opportunity…trust me on this. Get out here.

A lot has been said about risk management and how to identify and mitigate risk. This basically requires an over arching group of trusted environments you re protecting. Everything changes when you no longer have a trusted core. Now you have to do trust management which is expensive and fraught.

You cannot be pro Trump and pro democracy at the same time

In re the report that Musk now has “God access to all federal data” — I guess this is what the sacking of Rome by the barbarians is in the 21st Century.

Too much is being made of how the tariffs will increase prices - true Not enough people are paying attention to at this is a test of how Trump is circumventing Congress with fake emergencies as excuses for authoritarian actions. The more he gets away with this, the more the US slides to tyranny.

I was not able to successfully pitch this piece to any other media outlets so I posted it to LinkedIn lol. humiliating but I just want people to read it. thanks to everyone who tried to make connections.

And why is it relevant? All reports I’ve seen were that the LA reservoirs are full.

As a seasoned DC reporter, I know Trump can't fulfill his campaign promise to lower grocery prices upon taking office. Here's why I'm going to drop that topic and only ask him about Greenland, as he wants me to.

journalists need to stop treating this like it means anything. “what if trump rejects the results” so what, who cares?
