They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

This is the logical endpoint of the far-right media echo chamber / isolation booth: a confused, elderly man has become president and, with Fox et al as the only source of information he believes, he thinks archival footage of things that happened over years is all stuff that’s happening now.

Genuinely crazy how much we went from debates about body cams to "is the camera rolling? good. now watch me assault this dude."

IL Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh: "I think Kristi Noem should have consequences. I think she should be tried at The Hague."

The messages show high-level officials in the Trump administration discussing the possible deployment of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, an infantry force that has dropped into combat zones in both World Wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

overt nazi language in this DHS job listing (which i’m told is for a low-level but important job in adjudicating immigration applications and requires knowledge of the law)

This keeps happening.

Republicans: Biden was trying to buy votes with student loan forgiveness. Also Republicans: We need taxpayers to bail out farmers who vote for us since Trump put them out of business.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

Department of Education employees set out-of-office email responses to inform recipients they'd be unable to respond until after the shutdown hours later, many people realised their response message had been changed to blame Senate Democrats for the entire shutdown www.wired.com/story/govern...

PM of Albania having a good laugh with President of Azerbaijan and Macron about Trump repeatedly claiming that he ended the war between their two countries which were not at war with each other.

Thread of writings about Vought before the election. It does help to know these sorts of specifics. Senate still chose to confirm him even after the told them he planned to ignore their appropriations bills. bsky.app/profile/donm...

Privatizing commissaries is the quintessential GOP policy idea: even in a fantasy world in which they're somehow more efficient (they're not), every penny of that (plus more for profit) will be taken out of the pockets of military families, effectively lowering military pay to benefit Wal-Mart.

Neither the President nor the OMB Director, even though he was also an affiliate of Project 2025, has the authority to "cut" agencies, which are established by Congress - and can only be "cut" by Congress. (Also I see that DJT is now familiar with Project 2025 and is seemingly embracing it.)

The President of the United States has declared war on the United States Government

🎶 And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free 🎶

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

Amazing that the GOP is simultaneously always in lockstep on Trump messaging, but always seems to miss the latest speech or Truth Social post when it suits them.

We are now in the domain of not just illegal impoundments, but targeted illegal impoundments to punish liberal spaces. Not different from what Trump is doing to to universities.

Federal workers won't be getting paid, but President Bridezilla simply must have his special little party room!

Hegseth said yesterday he wants to ban any symbols of “superficial individual expression” by people serving in the military. Of course, he was probably talking about dangerous things like rainbows.

👀 @ericswalwell.bsky.social bringing it 👇🏽

File this under “essential function.” 🤡 #Shutdown abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

Trump just signed an Executive Order pledging an Article 5-esque security guarantee with Qatar. If they get attacked, America will consider it an attack on us. I'm sure the $400 million bribe they gave him had nothing to do with it...

Thank you, Trump voters.

Worst ADP print since March 2023.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted. My story:

SCOOP/UPDATE — The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) instructed *all* federal agencies to send out the shutdown email with NO modifications permitted, a federal source confirmed. Leadership received these orders via email at 1:30pm ET and then reinforced on a 3pm intra-agency call.

This comes the same day Hegseth told the military to pursue "the enemy within" and not to worry about war crimes. They want to embed the ethos of ICE into the military.

FUCK ICE FOREVER

This is the language of dictators.

Why is it that the livelihoods of federal workers or the healthcare of millions of people always end up on the chopping block, but never the trillions in tax cuts handed out to billionaires and massive corporations?

The banned words list applies to all work done at the largest federal funder of clean energy technology. n.pr/4nQ9sEq

Judging by their speeches, neither Trump nor Hegseth has paid the slightest attention to how actual wars are being fought in the actual world. The “war fighting” and “lethality” they plan is inside their own country and comes from conflicts inside their own minds.

seared my brain on this 6,500 word piece to write you a semi coherent thread into the mind of a billionaire obsessed with the antichrist (and people who, in my opinion, have way too much money, paranoia, and time while others just want to put food on the table)

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

JUST IN: Trump floats using U.S. cities as military "training grounds"

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Did he just declare war on four American cities?

It's like stupid Stalinism
