DOGE called SQL old and obsolescent. But it was probably vibe firing. Maybe someone read this and got cold feet?

Ea-Nāşir's perfidy seems eternal!

Comic

Panel one. Stick finger singing, "Raindrops on rose/ And whiskers on kittens."

Panel two. Same stick figure holding pot and singing, "Bright copper kettles leave/ ...Flakes on my mittens!?"

Panel three. Same figure still holding pot and singing, "Hey, these are stone with a copper veneer!"

Fourth panel. Same stick figure has put down pot and is singing, "I've been bamboozled by Ea-Nāşir!"

For more information about the Friday night massacre at CDC, I wrote up an analysis of who got terminated and what that means for public health.

Grateful to @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social for supporting and amplifying. We are in really terrible trouble.

He also extended an equivalent of NATO Article 5 protections to Qatar... Something the US did not do for Ukraine in return for giving all their nuclear warheads back.

The Executive paying the military directly. That never went wrong anywhere anywhen.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Trump wants to pay them by Executive Order. Isn't that a Power Of The Purse?

It's a lot easier to get Congress to grant statehood if two States are admitted at the same time with each being a safe pair of seats for each party in the Senate. DC is Democrat, Puerto Rico is Republican, go for it. No taxation without representation.
