One last fucked up 2025 scoop—FEMA has begun issuing termination notices to CORE staff (appointed under the Stafford Act, ordinarily extended for 2 years) effective Jan 2, agency sources tell me. Sr leadership was asked if they could be given more notice but Acting Administrator Karen Evans said no.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Today, I debunk Nick Shirley’s vicious viral video attacking Somalis in Minnesota. The one JD Vance suggests deserves a Pulitzer. The 42-min propaganda with zero evidence, that has captured MAGA media, and is being used to cover up the real issue entirely.

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

Today would be a hilarious day for the Women's Soccer League to give Kamala Harris a peace prize that is cartoonishly larger than the one Trump got.

SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.

All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:
FEMA employee terminated for signing whistleblower letter
It appears to be a major violation of federal whistleblower protections and constitutional rights.

Folks, it’s almost December.

USE. YOUR. BENEFITS.

Book a massage every day. Go to the dentist. Get your glasses. Talk to a therapist god knows you need to.

If you don’t use your benefits the capitalists are stealing from you.

USE YOUR BENEFITS.

The Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols.

This action, coupled with the President's call to hang Democratic members of Congress - both in the past few hrs - are more than "potentially divisive."

They are vile, unconscionable, and dangerous.

NEW—US Park Police w/ DHS officers near DC are increasingly pulling over Black and brown men, leaving their work vans on the side of the parkway + immediately calling a local towing company to take them. Families who just lost their breadwinner are stuck with the bill.

@melbuer.bsky.social reports:
Families of DC-area immigrant drivers snatched by feds stuck with tow bill
Elected officials and activists note work vehicles removed lightning fast, resulting in hundreds in fees.

Well that's something, anyway.
But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.

@kaine.senate.gov This is not a deal. You've gotten nothing but a pinky promise for a future vote. You have time to pull a 180 and walk away from this deal.
