“You simply can’t treat the airstrike group chat the same way you treat the friend’s girlfriend’s birthday brunch planning group chat. … I mean, these dumbasses are probably planning the invasion of Greenland on Snapchat right now.”

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Wow. Of course makes sense.
Of course Speaker Mike Johnson is living in the $3.7 million DC home of an election-denying, policy-driving “evangelical pastor who has attacked the separation of church and state as ‘a delusional lie’ and called multinational institutions ‘demonic’”…

Speaker Mike Johnson Is Living in a D.C. House That Is the Center of a Pastor’s Secretive Influence Campaign
The Capitol Hill townhouse is owned by a major Republican donor. It’s the headquarters of a little-known political influence project that has reached a number of powerful Republican politicians.

Abhorrent. So ashamed
Although Trump banned the AP and Reuters from the press pool in the Oval Office today, they allowed in Russia-state media outlet TASS, until reporters called it out. Thoroughly disgraceful!

If you haven't read this yet, please do. And Marc Elias is doing all he can to stop trump/musk. Follow him here and on Democracy Docket. And if you have it in you and can, financially support his work, too.
I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.
My Open Letter to Elon Musk
From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” This is my response.

There were THREE Republicans who condemned Trump for his remarks about President Zelensky and Ukraine. You won’t believe who.
Let me me know if you agree we need even MORE Republicans to speak out and be even LOUDER👇

I love her. We need more of her. On a big platform with a megaphone and going into the red states.
Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

This is perfect
Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

This. Thanks Shelly for bringing it to my attention.
Sure, 'cause providing humanitarian assistance—including food, water, shelter, emergency healthcare, sanitation/hygiene, and critical nutrition services is the definition of "sinister" -- but only to sinister people.

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years.
Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

so so so sad and pathetic. everything he does is based on vengeance. goodbye Kennedy Center and its awards ceremony. I certainly won't watch these next 4 years. assuming they have any.
This is about more than corruption of a cultural icon. It is a microcosm of the process Trump uses to consolidate his power.
Read the article and think of him doing that across every aspect of government and American life. That is the reality we struggle against.

Mr Cuban, are you going to fund this? Would be grand. Sadly, I'll probably be dead before all these new doctors graduate and complete their internships.
