Hold on, so Steve Witkoff was participating in the Signal group discussing war plans against Houthis while being physically in Moscow, perhaps even in the Kremlin? He met Putin late on March 13. Obviously the odds of Russia not compromising any device he would bring there are pretty slim.

Just an obvious point that anyone with the inside word on when these these total reversals are going to be announced is in a position to make almost limitless amounts of money. Don't forget that given the kind of people who make up this administration.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

I am very far from alone in saying this.

The great @timothysnyder.bsky.social is saying it. The great @rbreich.bsky.social is saying it. The great @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social is saying it & many more.

It's a coup.

It's characterised by massive illegality. And it's happening now, in real time.

As the Israeli military swept into a string of Syrian villages in December, the soldiers assured locals that the presence would be temporary. But the earthmoving vehicles that followed suggest a more permanent presence.

I’ve been following politics very closely for the past 5 years and can honestly say it’s never ever felt so bleak. I didn’t used to understand how the Nazis could have progressed to power. I do now. We are living it. It’s regressive, dark, sinister and feeling increasingly hopeless.

Trump has pulled the Secret Service security details of Mike Pompeo and former Trump Iran Special Envoy Brian Hook, both of whom face direct threats from Iran due to actions they took on Trump’s behalf during his first term. That comes on the heels of him pulling John Bolton’s Secret Service detail.

So I think what we need to watch is, while all this crazy threats about renaming bodies of water and invading/buying countries are happening….what else is going on? Classic right wing playbook. Say something outrageous to distract from other dangers being moved in place.
