Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."

I don’t care WHO you voted for. If you can’t admit these last couple months have been an absolute shitshow, you’re part of a cult.

I agree. I’m a subscriber, and it may not be to everyone’s taste, but take a look at the free content and judge for yourself.
The Bulwark is really building an interesting center/right reality-based news org, something that, had it existed 10+ years ago, might have sapped some of the crazy off the right. Or not! But good component of a healthy media ecosystem. (Which to be clear, we do not have.)
Some news: I'm starting a new job at @thebulwark.bsky.social, where I'll be writing a newsletter twice a week on right-wing media and conspiracy theories. It's exciting!
Here's the announcement in today's Reliable Sources newsletter:

I often describe myself as a “Jack of all trades, master of none”, so this cartoon seems fitting.

Dear DOGE guy at OPM. Here’s what I did:
1. Woke up
2. Fell out of bed.
3. Dragged a comb across my head.
4. Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
5. Looking up, noticed I was late

All this "fraud" and "abuse" they keep exposing, yet no one has been arrested. So weird huh. Almost like they just wanted access to that pile of taxpayer money for some other reason

Sadly, I saw too much of what he describes here on Facebook and finally made the cleanest cut I could.
The disaster about to hit millions of Americans, many over on X and Facebook cheering their own destruction, is hard to contemplate. The entire thing will be almost impossible to comprehend but only matched by the mental gymnastics they will take to blame anyone but Musk, Trump, and themselves.
