For years, MAGA partisans have employed various tactics to prevent the imminent pain of cognitive dissonance. Now Newsom is forcing them to see what Trump looks like without the distorting force field created by Trump’s showmanship:

This @cwodtke.bsky.social piece is great — technically fluent, well-sourced, doesn’t mince words about the lies & bullshit from the companies making this stuff. I’m not personally as conciliatory about some of the capabilities promised, but it’s well worth a read. cwodtke.medium.com/i-love-gener...

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.
Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

No one knows the Russians the way Ukrainians know Russians. There’s a thousand years of history between them. For hundreds of years, Ukraine has been fending off Russian political and cultural domination.

🚨The Trump admin will kick 300,000+ Venezuelans off of TPS in 60 days, rendering them undocumented and forcing them to lose jobs and stability. Combined with tariffs, this will be another huge blow to the economy; nearly all are working legally now. And another 300,000 will lose status in September!
Trump Administration Revokes Protections for Venezuelans in the U.S.
