Anyone who has worked on intelligence matters understands the importance of apolitical analysis and speaking truth to power.
In firing intel officials who did just that, Gabbard proved once again that she is unfit for her position.

I don't know what this means, but I'm the one who wrote a fully updated, 624-page hurricane response plan at FEMA that took over 2 years of work and careful coordination among state and federal agencies. He could start by studying that.

A matchmaking service with a twist: Connecting big givers to programs cut by USAID
A former USAID worker has a new mission. She's hoping to connect philanthropists with overseas programs that have lost — or are likely to lose — their U.S. funding.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.
Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

Warnock: Georgia officials said they were sorry but their hands were tied, you can’t vote the first weekend of the runoff after the holiday so I decided to untie them, I sued them. And I won… They appealed asking for emergency relief. Emergency relief from what? People voting?

I will say it again: If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.
So, uh, it certainly looks like DOJ intended to file a letter to Judge Liman in MTA v. Duffy, but….it accidentally filed a letter containing its legal advice to the Department of Transportation instead

Musk is dismantling a small but important independent agency that supports economic development in poor but stable nations. Employees at the Millennium Challenge Corporation were informed that they would be offered early retirement or deferred resignation following visits from Musk’s staffers.

Love to see @warren.senate.gov on lots of shows kicking ass and explaining how dumb and corrupt these tariffs are
SARA EISEN: What evidence is there of corruption?
WARREN: He announces tariff policy, says there's no exceptions, but "I talked to Tim Cook." Really?
E: Shouldn't he?
W: "Great deal available for Tim Cook"
E: It's great for Americans who have to buy iPhones
W: No. It's great for one company

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Dude was illegally arrested and deported to a slave prison in an unrelated country and these bastards can’t be bothered to answer for what they did or lift a finger to fix it.
You’re not special (to them). When they violate your rights, it won’t go any differently. So the thing is to stop them now.

NEW: A second filing today from the DOJ tells Judge Xinis that in their view, since Mr. Abrego is in Bukele's custody, she can't order them to do anything further to bring him back since that's not what "facilitate" means.
They also say the deal with Bukele is classified and/or a state secret.
