  • Imagine being an idealistic staff member who was part of an insurgent progressive senate campaign and winning. Then, just a short time after, you’re being asked to draft a memo on how torturing Palestinians either didn’t happen or is justified if it did, because the senator himself demands it.

    I’d resign too.

  • Exactly. Vance is a Manchurian candidate for the fascists in Silicon Valley. He’s there to take over if need be or to run after Trump’s term is over. I doubt he has any actual agency.

  • This week, the three sources told NBC News, career employees at high managerial levels, namely Senior Executive Service and General Schedule 15 employees, may be removed from agencies across DHS — not to reduce the size of the workforce but to remove employees whom the administration sees as potentially standing in the way of goals the Trump administration has for the agency.

    In case you’re wondering, they aren’t firing the DHS agents looking at dick pics and reading private messages. It’s the ones pushing back against that.

  • Trump is and always has been Putin’s bitch. We all know this. Don’t be surprised. It makes things harder, but it’s not the end.

    Russia has destroyed itself fighting this war, and Europe is waking up to the fact that it needs to defend itself collectively.

  • Aviation safety is the canary in the coal mine. They actively deal with a massive amount of traffic with a virtually zero error rate. That rate moved up a notch. As cuts continue, it will move up more notches.

    Everything’s else we’ve considered safe for decades because it’s being protected by diligent, but thankless, federal workers is going to follow suit.

  • Public act of fealty. Google has officially kissed the ring of the mad king. Realize what that means for the way they handle business moving forward.

    They’ll still end up like all of Trump’s other business partners in the end. Betrayed, unpaid, and regretful.

  • A system designed to balance the needs of the people with the excesses of the aristocracy ended up creating greater wealth inequality than pre-revolution France.

    It’s hard to overstate how badly the American Experiment has gone off track for the last four plus decades. Destroying the education system paved the way for it all.

    The first generation of Americans read newspapers that were written at what would now be a college reading level. Now the average American is so bombarded by misinformation and lacking in critical thinking that they’ll believe anything.

  • Given the fact that D1.1 seems to be more virulent in humans, this could indicate a major change in terms of public health risks from the earlier scenario with the B3.13 strain,” veterinary science pioneer Juergen Richt, a former director at the National Institutes of Health, tells Fortune.

    Hopefully it doesn’t amount to anything, but if it does, we’re fucked. States will lose federal funding for even suggesting people take basic precautions.

  • My bosses, and my bosses’ bosses, don’t have answers to any of our questions. Nobody knows who is in charge, though the leadership level of our parking garage is suddenly filled with Teslas.

    Musk is initiating a hostile takeover of the essential functions of government. He has boots on the ground. Trump is a conman and a clown, but Musk is a clear and present danger to the country.

    This is a shock and awe operation to paralyze all resistance. I sincerely hope it isn’t working.
