Everything he says about deportation camps on military bases is spot on—and alarming. But don’t get thrown off by the name Blackwater. It’s still out there—rebranded.

Blackwater became Xe in 2009, then Academi in 2011, before merging into Constellis in 2014. The name changed but the op lives on.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”?

But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"?

Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

This news truly breaks my heart.

We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line!

Just got my official termination notice. I will be unemployed, thanks to DOGE, at the end of the week.

Things are going to be tough.

But!

I've got books available (and more to come). Also, I'd like to help on any of YOUR creative projects.

Need a writer? Editor? Sounding board? I'm your guy.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December.

Tesla’s CEO was not in the office.

In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.
