There have been 5 government shutdowns in the last 30 years.
And every single one of them began while Republicans were in control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

annual reminder to not ruin the thanksgiving meal by bringing up politics
ruin the meal by telling your family you don't know half of them half as well as you should like and like less than half of them half as well as they deserve, then vanishing while they try to figure out what you meant

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear.
Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code.
It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions.
Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

Trump alone didn't beat the justice system.
He had help.
It took Oligarchs relentlessly amplifying his lies on their media platforms.
Ethically compromised members of the Supreme Court.
70+ million willing to vote for a convicted felon.
There's a lot to fix. But it can be fixed. It must.

Many people think that as you get older, you care less about politics. But it’s not true.
You start thinking a lot more about the kind of world you want to leave behind. You want it to be better than the one you were born into.
We all have a personal legacy in mind. Mine is to outlive Trumpism.

If you spend 48 hours at Bluesky and then check back in at Twitter, the latter seems unreadable: wildly dangerous claims that never get withdrawn or corrected (and have 25K retweets); Elon amplifying supposed news stories that are just a random photo and a clearly false claim from an anonymous feed.

It should be clear that this new “department” for Musk isn't actually about "efficiency." It's simply a quid-pro-quo riddled with conflicts of interest.
Anything and everything will always be for sale under Trump.
Elon is just the latest person to take advantage of this.
