I’m sorry for the long post but a lot of you have followed me for a long time, since 2016 when I was one of the first to repeatedly call out Trump for being a Russian asset.
I don’t know how else to say this, as a person who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it) and totalitarian states.

Weird how they cared so much about Hillary’s emails but are silent about Mike Waltz and other government officials using their personal emails.
It’s almost like it was never about her emails.🙄

As always, not a lawyer, but one thing that leaps out at me about how things are going down in the courts right now is that the US court system is not designed to be responsive to a crisis like this one. A crisis like this one is not what it's FOR.

I've been quiet lately for... a lot of reasons.
But honestly: Fuck all this shit. Gloves off.
Cowards to the back.

Oh.
The National Weather Center in Norman, Oklahoma is on the DOGE list of federal buildings to close.
Let’s just axe the National Weather Center and let DOGE’s “efficiency” reign supreme!
Who needs the Storm Prediction Center or NWS Norman anyway?

Yet another rapid unplanned disassembly of Starship.
Perhaps Elon should spend more time trying to keep his cars and rockets from blowing up rather than trying to disassemble our government and crash the economy.

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

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:
