There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this?

Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

Any member of the military who did what they did on signal would be kicked out or arrested.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered:

Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t.

Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

Universities are facing the largest (extremely partisan) attack on their funding model in the modern era and we’re still writing pieces like this? Feels like fighting the last war.

Vanderbilt (whose provost is a co-author of this opinion piece) is slashing their grad programs.

Donold’s supporters don’t care if they lose their jobs or their freedom as long as he is performatively ‘owning the libs.’ That’s how much they have been taught to hate you.

Just to review:

1. A coup has not yet occurred. A coup (or a “self-coup”) would entail Trump shutting down Congress or canceling elections.

2. Preparations for a coup are in place as Trump replaces FBI agents.

3. If a coup occurs, it is likely in 2026 when Trump refuses to recognise elections.

So, the SecDef, DEI hire broke the sacred rule of the pentagon this am by blurting out the ranks of those killed on the aircraft accident last night.
I sure hope that the families had already been notified.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.
