This is the best and of course. “What changed:”. Nope not the bill… not anything. The so called “moderates” who always were going to collapse and everyone else got…. A call from Trump. Of course

Imagine leading your country at war for three years because your neighbor invaded you and JD Vance of all people tells you that you should say thank you more.

A week ago, Pam Bondi went on Fox News claiming the files were sitting on her desk. Now, in a fabricated letter to Kash Patel, she insists she never received them.

Congrats on shifting the news cycle. Lie better.

I almost bought a book on Amazon today, but then I went to eBay and got it slightly used for half the price. Boycotting Amazon is fun AND easy.

A constant sense of danger
We need to talk more about how it feels to be a woman amidst this sudden onslaught of “reclaiming masculinity,” celebrating male aggression and violence, and vanishing smart experienced women from positions of power.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

I'm a pilot with engineering Ph.D., worked in both airline and tech industries. I can say there is absolutely zero chance, given the timing of the switch, that FAA had done any review to make the decision based on merits. I hope Verizon sue the hell out of it.
Not having seen either plan in detail, I can't say for certain that this is right or wrong technical choice.

Know enough about FAA caution and rule-based procedure to say that such a move would reek to high heaven.

FAA targeting Verizon contract in favor of Musk’s Starlink, sources say
Turning the $2.4 billion project over to Musk’s company would be a major test of conflict-of-interest rules in government contracting.

Vance goes on to spout Russian talking points to President country who was invaded by Russia. Zelenskyy is not the one disrespecting the Oval Office here.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Watching Putin’s little stooges try to bully Zelenskyy in our goddamned White House is pretty repulsive.

The Trump Admin's push to cut thousands of Social Security staff nationwide will hurt beneficiaries.

7 in 10 of SSA’s staff serve the public directly. The rest support their work—hearing appeals, keeping systems running & secure, maintaining a high level of transparency & accuracy, & more. 🧵
