1. Breaking: Donald Trump has issued an EO that lays the groundwork for a total military ban.

In it, he says that being trans goes against "a soldier's commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle."

The ban leaves much of the details to defense secretary Hegseth for implementation.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?

it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.

i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:

A government-wide hiring freeze is adding to a staffing shortage at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., complicating the agency’s efforts to oversee thousands of banks across the country.

Important follow-up on my pinned report and my recent post about the takeover at OPM: The Washington Post has confirmed the claims below.

There is indeed a takeover of the federal government happening that is being coordinated by people outside the government who have gotten access to U.S. servers.

I've seen people dismiss the Pornhub bans, sometimes couching their dismissal in an anti-porn stance. What I don't think they realize is that the people pushing this stuff conflate porn with LGBTQ people and sex education and are part of Project 2025

I'm writing a piece on Trumpite intellectuals making the "spiritual case" for the conquest of Greenland, that it will spur a rebirth of the "pioneering frontier spirit" in America lost in the 1890s. And seeing now they're moving Inaugural inside because it's too cold. So yeah, not so sure abt this.

I hear what you guys are saying about the Oscars, and how they're a celebration of life, and the show must go on, blah-blah-blah, so-on-and-so-forth. It all makes a degree of sense, but to me it still feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while LA burns.

In January 20, 1961, the temperature at noon was 22 degrees and 8 inches of snow had fallen in the morning.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?

I admire Rep. Raskin a ton, and do not think I am putting words in his mouth when I say that he implied multiple times during this interview that Democrats might consider reaching out to Turner about jumping parties, which would be earth-shattering given how close the count in the House is right now

Luigi Mangione was taken into custody just as Daniel Penny walked free.

The ruling class wants us to celebrate the murder of the vulnerable and condemn the murder of the powerful.

They fail to see how killing the powerless breeds violence against the powerful.

There are roughly 330M people in this country, and I realized this morning that for less than the cost of a cheap cup of coffee a day, a S. African billionaire was able to buy the Presidency, and in effect — the country. It’s both embarrassing and sad that, not only was it easy, but it was so cheap…
