People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Guy who claims to be a master dealmaker can’t even strike a deal with one of his closest allies to secure the return of a man he mistakenly sent to prison?

The fact that #SCOTUS hasn't yet ruled in Abrego Garcia isn't proof of *how* the justices are going to rule.
But the longer it takes, the more it suggests that there isn't a majority of the Court who views this dispute with the same *urgency* that so many of us do. And that's a problem unto itself.

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

It’s stunning to me that the New York Times did not put the story on the bloodbath at the NIH, CDC, and FDA on its front page this morning.

The theft of the PII was not incompetence--it was done very much on purpose.
Credit to @npr.org for this detailed look at how Elon Musk & the backpack boys have stolen all of our private information. ALL OF IT. Add this to the Signal security breach and the incompetence takes your breath away.

Why are we letting the Trump administration make us debate whether the attack info was classified, or war plans? If an enemy or a journalist had obtained it wrongfully & made it public, is there any doubt in your mind how the Trump government would’ve treated them? Let’s not play their game.

Anyone want to bet that no one looks at the email responses that Musk asked for ?
It requires too much manpower and organization. Even w/AI
He will hold them in the event he has an interaction with someone.
If so, he can look up their response or lack of, and use it as cause for action.

Trunt and fElon will take our tax money and buy crypto for the "sovereign wealth fund" saying we are "going to be rich".
This is gambling with someone else's money, and only the crypto bros make money.
