It won’t go well that only the Supremes were taken care of.
As judges face more threats, only the Supreme Court gets new security funds
There was a spike in threats against the judiciary in the early months of 2025, Marshals Service data shows.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.

There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

Dmitriev (runs one of Russia's largest sovereign wealth funds) met with Witkoff (Trump golfing buddy and a real estate agent) and fucking Jared Kushner in Miami to hand off this plan written by and for the benefit of Putin. The US is a failed state.

A year ago, flyers promoting vaccines were prevalent across the Navajo Nation.

But as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has put his stamp on federal immunization policy, the Indian Health Service’s messaging on immunizations has taken a stark turn.

By @maryhudetz.bsky.social
The Indian Health Service Is Flagging Vaccine-Related Speech. Doctors Say They’re Being Censored.
Officials have deemed terms like “immunizations” and “vaccines” risky “buzzwords” that require approval to be used in social media posts, pamphlets and presentations.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Will be interesting to see who Trump invades first: Our long-hated adversary Venezuela or our long-hated adversary Greenland.
JD Vance and Peter Thiel are running a sustained operation out of the White House designed to acquire Greenland, either voluntarily or by force. Thiel has laid out plans for what he intends to do with the island nation in past writings. It doesn't entail the consent of the Greenlanders for anything.
