As LBJ said 60 years ago, freedom is not just opening the gates of opportunity.
True freedom is ensuring everyone has the ability to walk through them.

Tuba time! Brass quintet is always fun, but it's better with a big ol' organ.

El Solitario or "Terry" is rapidly earning the nickname "Scary Terry" - roughly 50 strikes at me, and although he's small, 2 or 3 have managed to break the skin! Hopefully this new hide I designed for him gives a dark corner he can feel safe in and help manage that aggression. #snakesky #snakes

New Colombia Rainbow Boa! His name is El Solitario, or "Terry", "Elso", or "Rio" for short! Or a million other stupid nicknames I'm sure he will be given.

So if MAGA is correct and X is under massive attack from Ukraine. Then there's only one course of action. Musk must immediately cede half of X's assets to Ukraine. And apologize for allowing themselves to be attacked.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road.
NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B.

DOGE released data about federal contract savings. It doesn't add up
A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.
