Every word of this is what I’ve been screaming obnoxiously for months.

It’s commentary on David Brooks’ recent piece. He’s conservative—conservative-centrist—so this piece is extra powerful and very surprising.

People sometimes ask "what are the crimes" and let me tell y'all, as a lawyer, that intentionally copying, altering, destroying, or disrupting government computer systems is super-duper illegal if you don't have a spotless paper trail authorizing it, which none of these DOGE people do.
my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison
This is insane and everyone involved needs to be sued into oblivion and then go directly to jail

I think this is a must-see. Very moving.

She’s always good. And taking a perspective on the coup I don’t hear many talking about.

She’s also funny. “It’s not really an oligarchy. It’s a broligarchy.”

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation
Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

She’s way too centrist for my liking, and her silence on Gaza is appalling. But this piece from 2016 is so sane, how could a MAGA even object.

Rage is: hearing seemingly nonstop ads for HIMS, talking about how “it’s never been easier” for men to get treatment for their sexual dysfunction.

You know what, guys? Now is probably not a good time to be bragging about easy and affordable gendered care.

"It's an incredible piece of important real estate."

"... controlling and OWNING the Gaza Strip"
Trump: "You know how I feel about the Gaza Strip. I think it's an incredible piece of important real estate. And I think it's something that we would be involved in. Having a peace force like the US there controlling and owning the Gaza Strip would be a good thing ... you call it the Freedom Zone."
