Surprising to hear that a government formed exclusively of a country’s most stupid people isn’t really working out.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.

Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.

This is what "merit" means to them.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Trump and Musk are basically ignoring the Constitution they--Trump, at least--took an oath to defend.

My statement ahead of the Senate’s vote on Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination to be Director of National Intelligence:
Text on a light blue background reading: The safety of our communities and America’s national security should be a top priority for any senator. Therefore, I simply cannot support Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination to be Director of National Intelligence. The person filling this role serves as one of the principal advisors to the President on national security matters, is trusted to safeguard our nation’s most sensitive secrets, and leads 18 intelligence agencies composed of men and women who have dedicated their lives to the safety and security of the United States. Tulsi Gabbard is not the right person to hold this critical position, especially at a time when we are facing threats from a rising China, Russia, Iran, and other bad actors around the world. Gabbard’s previous praise of authoritarians like Vladimir Putin and Bashar al-Assad and her support for Edward Snowden show a deep lack of judgement and raise significant questions about her ability to do this job. I worry that allies will be more reluctant to share critical information with the U.S. if people like Gabbard hold key intelligence posts. Many of my Republican colleagues share these concerns and have expressed deep reservations behind closed doors about her holding this position; if they confirm her to this post, it will be yet another example of their inability to stand up to President Trump in defense of our national security.

I can see it now. First you build hotels in Gaza. Then of course you go to the Ukraine. Find nothing but the best land and rebuild. ..

You can train the staff at Mar a Lago ....

Five years ago, on February 5, 2020, Republican senators acquitted then-president Donald Trump in his first impeachment trial.

Maybe you should unleash your vitriol at those currently in power.
southpaw @nycsouthpaw.bsky.social We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it's really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

Musk's claim that just 10% of US aid reaches recipients is absurd. @cgdev lays out the facts:
- US gov costs are just 10%
- Rest reaches recipients mostly thru US corps/nonprofits + multilateral agencies
- ~10% goes thru foreign organizations

No, 90 Percent of Aid Is Not Skimmed Off Before Reaching Target Communities
A viral claim, spread and amplified by Elon Musk, suggests that only 10 percent of USAID money reaches its intended beneficiaries. This is a wildly incorrect and misleading interpretation of a differe...
