Wanderers Nachtlied
Über allen Gipfeln
Ist Ruh,
In allen Wipfeln
Spürest du
Kaum einen Hauch;
Die Vögelein schweigen im Walde.
Warte nur, balde
Ruhest du auch.
J. W. v. Goethe

very excited to learn that the constitution allows the federal government to disappear people to foreign gulags beyond the reach of any judicial remedy

SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit.
While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

Many Americans seem to have mostly overlooked this, but I guarantee you that Europe did not.
The real story isn’t that the Trumpians let a journalist into a group chat, it is that they are plotting against Europe.

So. They. Are. Lying.
“A New York Times review of the flight data showed that none of the planes in question landed in El Salvador before the judge’s order and that one of them did not even leave American soil until after the judge’s written order was posted online.”

But MAGA wants to give this guy control of FAA software that keeps our planes from crashing?

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.
TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?
JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here
TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?
JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law

I heard Gov. Abbott asked them to steer clear of the state until he gets to watch some kids die.
Man, there's nothing he loves more than watching kids die.
School shootings, barbed-wire migrant crossings, power outages, measles, whatever. It doesn't matter how, as long as some kids die.

There’s a measles outbreak in Texas and HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is completely silent. Not a peep.

Cutting $2.3 trillion from Medicaid will abandon seniors in long-term care & bankrupt families.
Republicans don't care about the human cost - they only care about their billionaire donors' profits.

My gawd this guy is fucking stupid and he’s making decisions—in a decidedly undemocratic manner it should be noted—that affect the lives of millions of Americans?
It’s precisely because we honor and commit to the rule of law that democratic governance is possible, you idiot.

Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins slams the Trump admin’s NIH cuts as “poorly conceived” and says she has called RFK to “to express my strong opposition to these arbitrary cuts in funding for vital research.” She says he promised to “re-examine this initiative” if confirmed as HHS secretary.
