Republicans want to cut non-defense discretionary 15% to pay for disaster relief. They named it DOGE.

These are the streets of Georgia now, resisting Russia. When Trump tries do what he is already threatening, this will be what the streets of DC will look like and I will be on the frontlines with you. We will never obey in advance, or ever.

Bluesky is winning because both twitter and threads have gone out of their way to make their platforms inhospitable to reputable journalists and news. @kattenbarge.bsky.social reports:

It’s so clearly their version of the Reichstag Fires. They’ll sacrifice a lower level someone and use that to call for the Reichstag Fire Decree and eventually move on to the Enabling Act. We’re almost to Jan 1933.

With the breaking news (see my last post) that prospective Donald Trump Defense Secretary Pete Hegeth is strongly militating for a Constitutional Convention designed to make Trump a Forever King, America is on a timer. It's not clear how much time we have left—but it's certainly less than 48 months.
