What goes unsaid in these heinous stories about denying essential aid is that a 28-year-old DOGE lackey with zero experience named Jeremy Lewin was named Acting Director of the State Departmentās Office of Foreign Assistance in April 2025 and still hasnāt had a confirmation hearing.

Nothing infuriates fascists more than being held accountable for their own failures. YOU did this, Pete Hegseth. You and Donald Trump. For nothing. An absolute catastrophe. If you had a shred of integrity you'd resign and disappear from public life forever.

Sentinels at the Bacchanal
Military participation in the spectacle in D.C. is a reminder that trust in our armed forces depends on them standing apart.

By the way, Elon Musk didn't start Tesla. By the time he invested in Tesla, the original founders had already started building the Roadster THEY had designed. When he bought them out, he changed the history of the company to make himself a founder. I'm not joking. He's always been a fraud.

If the President can successfully order the IRS to hand over billions of dollars to his personal bank account, the Constitution is dead and no longer operative. I'm not kidding. We've crossed a kind of Rubicon and the social contract is null and void.

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.

So much to know about John Phelanās ouster as Navy secretary: - driven by Hegsethās insecurities - firing a Navy secretary 10 days after launching a naval blockade? - Phelan was a poor choice for the job, especially in light of his Epstein ties - scope of the Pentagon purge is staggering
