Two days after the deadly Texas floods, FEMA struggled to answer calls from survivors to its disaster assistance line.

Why? Because hundreds of employees who answered phones were fired after Kristi Noem didn't approve new contracts.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.

We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.

Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Elon Musk is an existential threat to the United States of America.

This is now both a constitutional crisis and a national security crisis.

As a citizen, my power is limited, but I do have the power to act. I am protesting outside OPM today from 3-5pm. Please join us.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

The 2024 election's biggest winner wasn't Trump or Vance.

It was the cryptocurrency industry, which spent $134 million to buy itself a subservient Congress.

Maybe before making up just-so stories about why and how the left forced the Silicon Valley bros to go hard right, you could look up the bros' personal histories, their family histories, or the entire history of ultra-rich people in general

Trump’s reckless foreign policy is back, with the Mexican President already outsmarting him. His nominees just keep getting worse. Plus, the most corrupt transition ever—dark money, crypto scandals, and shady regulators. Watch Legal AF at 8p ET/ 5 PT:

It appears Syrian Rebels have quickly taken the historic center of Aleppo—a massive blow to Assad and Putin.

Now we must ask: which side is Tulsi Gabbard—who made a secret trip in 2017 to meet with Assad—on?

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have proposed a strategy that would allow companies to bypass environmental regulations by having the government simply choose not to enforce its own rules. They suggest that a potential Trump administration could “immediately pause the enforcement” 1/3

JOURNALISTS FLOCK TO BLUESKY

“We have posts exactly the same on Twitter & on Bluesky & Bluesky is getting 20 times the engagement or more than Twitter. Seeing a social media platform that doesn’t throttle links really makes it clear how badly we were being limited”

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

Trump throws down the gauntlet. The answer from the Senate MUST be no. Kash Patel cannot be put in charge of the FBI.

The republicans are already running counter ops against an AOC presidency, just in case. Meanwhile democrats are begging us for $20 via email to pay off debts from 3 campaigns back.
what republicans understand that democrats dont is that constant chatter shapes the narrative. the msm is a hollowed out husk that just covers pretty lights. the gop gives them pretty lights. the dems whine about them not covering substance -- thats never happening. give them more pretty lights
i think too many people have been served communications gruel by democrats and think this means theyre "constantly talking" about things. ive spent the last 20 years covering right wing politics. i understand what it means to be "constantly talking" about an issue, and democrats just dont do it.

Midnight in Kyiv.
Calm.
I’m going to read, eat midnight tangerines and rest.
It was a busy day for me here.

Oh. The book?
The Munich Crisis of 1938: Political Turmoil on the Brink of the Second World War by Piotr M. Majewski.

Excellent book.
