“We’re leaving wokeness behind,” said Hegseth, while cutting the ribbon on his personal Pentagon makeup studio. Because nothing screams meritocracy like bronzer before a briefing.

Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg.

Top Trump officials—including SecDef Pete Hegseth—sent live strike details in a Signal chat while U.S. pilots were in the air.
This was NOT a glitch. It was a RECKLESS national security disaster.
They put lives at risk—and they’re still in charge.
We won’t let this be swept under the rug.

“Many do not have transportation or they are homebound or in the hospital and don’t have access or simply don’t know how to use the internet... What happens to them? What happens to the person who can’t do it online and now their local office has closed?”

At least 1 NC Social Security office saved from closing. What about the other 3?
DOGE removed three of North Carolina’s four Social Security offices that were set to close from its list of lease terminations. Rep. Chuck Edwards says at least one office is now set to remain open.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.
