While preparing this disclosure, Berulis found a drone surveillance photo of himself taped to his front door with a threatening note.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.
People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯.
America, we have a problem!

I am begging Democratic lawmakers to understand that trying to highlight any marginal upside for tariffs as a way of finding common ground in this moment is like making the argument that a compound leg fracture is good for building character. No one wants to hear that shit. Stop.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

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

What other classified info is Hegseth sharing on Signal chats? Clearly, he can't be trusted to keep our military secrets—or our troops—safe.
We have Senate committees for a reason.
SSCI, SASC and SFRC must hold hearings to investigate this egregious breach and potential others.

They love this “run the government like a business” canard coz it conjures images of efficiency and accountability.
The reality is, it’s about increasing profits for the few over the wellbeing of the many.
If the government operated the way a business does, the citizenry should rightfully revolt.
