An SSA source tells me chief data officer Charles Borges sent out his involuntary resignation email to select offices within the agency a short while ago, but then a few minutes later the email disappeared from the inboxes of those who received it with no explanation.

No one is enforcing this 1994 security guarantee. Push Trump aside, get rid of Putin, fight the war if still needed but no war if Putin & Trump gone.

Hmmm... Cut the National Weather Service and get blindsided by massive flooding. It's like shutting down the Pandemic Preparedness Office in 2018 and getting blindsided by COVID.
But what kind of an idiot would do that?
Hope you all enjoyed Taco Tuesday.

Reading a little Patrick Henry. “If your American chief, be a man of ambition, and abilities, how easy is it for him to render himself absolute! ...what have you to oppose this force? What will then become of you and your rights? Will not absolute despotism ensue?”

The most popular man under a democracy is not the most democratic man, but the most despotic man. The common folk delight in the exactions of such a man. They like him to boss them. Their natural gait is the goose step.

Loomer is a hateful conspiracy nut who has been banned from Lyft and Uber b/c she is such a gigantic racist.
This is the person who can walk into the White House and provide advice on national security staffing to the President.

A new bright idea from the folks that brought you "freedom fries"
The Gulf of Mexico is now officially known as the “Gulf of America,” at least according to the U.S. government. The Trump administration appears to have the authority to change the name, even though other countries do not have to go along with it. nyti.ms/3EbgOAS

So the Dems are aligned in using the Hegspeth allegations to oppose him. Dumb.
The man is not qualified for the job. That is all that matters. He has never managed more than 100 people. He won't be the actual one running DOD because he has no clue how.
And this is what the Dems focus on ?
