My first year in DC, I was at an event where Rick Scott spoke, a couple years before he was governor of FL. The Cato Institute's founder Ed Crane was there too and as Scott took the stage Crane leaned over to me and said, "That man's embezzled more money than anyone you'll see in your whole life."

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

If there really is a scary and powerful Deep State dedicated to stopping MAGA and Trumpism and opposed to Musk and Dog-E
then why are Trump and Musk still around?
Shouldn't we be rid of them by now?
I mean, really.

This is the same question I had about the witch trials during the Inquisition. If there were powerful and dangerous witches, the Inquisitors wouldn't have dared to prosecute them.
This is the flaw in every authoritarian scapegoating. And the marks never see it.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does.
Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Who’s Running the Defense Department?
The key criteria for those in the top-tier positions appear to be loyalty, wealth, and ideological fervor, not competence.

Measles up, MMR vax rates down. To say measles is contagious is a gross understatement. If you're not immune and you're exposed there's a 90% chance you will contract it. Read more: www.cdc.gov/measles/hcp/...
