Politico is reporting that the breach at the Congressional Budget Office is "ongoing."

“Do NOT click on any links in emails from CBO. Do NOT share sensitive information with CBO colleagues over email, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom at this time,” the email to CBO staff reads.

The Nazi regime had Krupp while American fascism has Palantir.
Whatever you do, don’t ask Palantir’s Alex Karp: “How worried are you about the Nick Fuentes wing of MAGA?”

I know this is an obvious and old point, but it still shocks me how quickly the culture of the GOP has come to defined by the absurd personality type of the "toad-licking, ass kissing alpha." Amazing that they've built an audience that finds such deportment appealing, rather than disqualifying.

They're claiming that reversing RIFs and guaranteeing backpay for feds is worth losing leverage for ACA subsidies

But we KNOW the shutdown RIFs have been illegal and that the courts will eventually back this up

and we KNOW backpay is legally mandated (thanks Trump 1.0 🥴)

They're using federal workers as a reason to fold on shutdown negotiations

The administration hates “fake news” so much it keeps stealing journalists' work for its ICE sizzle reels.

Why can't it find footage from those supposedly better outlets it wants in the WH and Pentagon?

Maybe they don’t make content worth stealing?

Trump is looking into buying warehouse—like Amazon warehouses—and turning them into mega detention centers.

These are buildings meant for packages, not people.

Trump thinks immigrants are just inventory to process, not human beings with rights & dignity.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

President Trump just pardoned Giuliani, Meadows, and over 70 others who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

He’s not “draining the swamp.” He’s drowning accountability.

yeah...I mean, basically all the evidence we have suggests strongly that the people who abandoned Ds in 2024 were weakly partisan low info voters angry about inflation. you can't yell at them online; they are not talking to you about politics on social media.
As @clairewillett.bsky.social , @nberlat.bsky.social and I have discussed, mainstream Dems have an obsessive, unreasonable narrative regarding Democratic losses that blame not just the left but the most vulnerable voters
