Does this mean the Trump administration will block all federal funding for the Pentagon?
Kingsley Wilson, the newly-appointed DoD Deputy Press Secretary, believes in a thoroughly-debunked antisemitic conspiracy theory. I've mostly only seen this theory promoted by mask-off neo-Nazis.

This is the intersection point between Muskian arrogance and idiot populism: The conviction that there’s an extremely simple solution for everything that, somehow, nobody else has ever noticed & that you via either genius or “common sense” have uniquely hit upon.

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

This Saquon playoff run has a chance to rival Larry Fitzgerald in the 2009 playoffs and Cooper Kupp in the 2022 playoffs as all-time great playoff runs for non-QBs. He is playing out of his mind.

Tomorrow is December’s third Sunday, which in Atlanta means the ukulele strum circle at Waikikie Hawaiian BBQ, 2160 Briarcliff Road, from 2-4. Bring something with wi-fi and/or the Beloff books, and we’ll play and sing some holiday classics.
