Dan Bongino admitted today that he lied for a living. He explained that he lied, because he was paid to lie. He said we should now believe him, because he's paid to tell the truth.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

I think a lot of "learn to code" people thought high salaries for programmers were a permanent feature of the world rather than the result of unusual circumstances around supply and demand in the labor market. Over last 20 years, CS went from a niche college major to the most popular major in the US
New CS grads are making less than I made as an accounting graduate straight out of college a decade ago, and I don’t mean inflation adjusted, I mean nominally.

We already know the Trump administration has been lying about ICE “targeting the worst of the worst” — the actual numbers tell the truth.
The government’s own data shows only 15 % of those detained had any prior criminal convictions, and just 3 % were violent offenders.

And beyond that, we need activists on the ground in some of the new Texas districts, driving the kind of voter turnout that will turn this around on Texas and Trump. Many of the districts created are designed to be close; they can be flipped blue. The work goes on.
