Dear America,

You know how I know you don’t know how to run the whole government and you need experts to do most of it for you? I can’t even get a handful of people in the entire country to *read their municipal budget.* And that’s fine, until we let morons carve up your government.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

The Founding Fathers required Senate confirmation for key appointments for a reason. Donald Trump doesn’t like that reason. It’s to ensure high ranking government officials are loyal to the country not just the president. That’s not what Trump wants. joycevance.substack.com/p/explanatio...

The Comey thing will never see a jury.

They might try to revive the James case bc they’re really and truly that stoopid but if there was a time to walk tf away, this is that time.

SNL doing Weekend Update on a Monday
absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

There is so much wrong with the statement from the department formerly known as Defense it’s hard to know where to begin. The biggest, imho, problem is the suggestion individual servicemembers cannot honor their *individual legal obligation* to refuse illegal orders.
The Trump administration is abusing the military justice system to target its political opponents. A despicable new low for a group that strives everyday to find the moral bottom.

The federal government on Saturday dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine and selling faked vaccination cards.

Imagine any job, where one person demanded death for their coworkers from the branch office for simply posting a video about maintaining lawful conduct.

They’d be fired.

Now imagine that same person was already a felon, and associated themselves with a convicted pedophile.

They’d be fired.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

The “deal” deprives Ukraine of everything it has won by withstanding Russian aggression and defending the borders of Europe.

It rewards Russian lawlessness—and makes America complicit in the lawlessness.

It’s the end of post WWII American power.

He thinks the way to distract us from his involvement in child sex trafficking and financial corruption is to remind us he’s ALSO an unrepentant liar, a virulent racist, and a fascist traitor. He’s all the deplorables, the whole basket, so to speak. He’s trying to shoot the moon.

What is the point of this, exactly?
Reporter: Stefanik has campaigned on calling Mamdani a jihadist. Do you think you’re standing next to a jihadist?

Trump: No… but she's out there campaigning. You say things sometimes in a campaign. You’d have to ask her about that. I met with a man who is a rational person.

the one part of this awful video I found inspiring is the moment when the cam pans back and you see an array of upstanding Americans with their smartphones out filming these gutter thugs. that's really the symbol of the opposition. the smartphone and its embedded video cam.
Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.
