Hi kids.

From what I gather it may just be terrible editing but if so it's really terrible editing.

Also see: history.

How could Vance do such a thing?! Also there's a serious lack of martial law that people were convinced was gonna happen this weekend. No sign of it here in DC.

Went for a run l today, doing an 8 mile loop through town. Great weather, which also brought out all the tourists to zig zag through.

If one is not a citizen upon birth inside the USA, then none of us who were born are are citizens and our existence and right to it will be at the whim of the billionair elites who are running the country, who would gladly make you work for them for free no matter your skin color.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Can somebody at the next press briefing as why Trump is so weak that he can't retrieve one of our own, please? Maybe the reverse psychology will work.

Ran a lap around Annapolis after work today. That lap was ten miles, but I could not pass up the good weather and the sun. Also a pit stop at Forward Brewing.

We’re suing Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the NIH. The government doesn’t get to block researchers from making important medical discoveries and derail the next generation of American scientists just to further its political agenda.

The blitz from China showing how affordable everything could actually be is really fun to watch. Also, the wrecking ball it's taking to the American propaganda about capitalism has been eye opening.

This morning I learned that little bunnies sound like a dogs squeaky toy when attacked. And it explains why dogs go after the squeaker in the toy so aggressively. 😩

This entire week my pattern recognition senses have been on full alert. My Spidey senses if you will. It turn out there are immense downsides to know history. Also immense downsides to not know what the fuck I can do to put a stop to all this madness that has me going Red Alert on the daily.

A lot of people wringing their hands over something that hasn't and probably won't happen. Don't capitulate in advance. If you stay in your house because you think martial law is gonna be declared and it even hasn't, they don't need to declare it. Because you already have imposed it on yourself.

This is @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty & @AndyOgles & @RepMarkGreen & @RepTimBurchett & @RepHarshbarger & @RepJohnRose & @RepDavidKustoff & @DesJarlaisTN04 & @RepChuck’s crash too

This idea was much better tho, I think 😂

Google made this, had me in stitches.

Dude.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

Was a nice day for a run, looking forward to more nice days. Hopefully we get plenty of them before it gets real hot. Also I feel like the universe heard me say "this may be my last runtok video" which made them announce the Tik Tok extension. That's how it works right?

Who did this?

Does the stock market feel liberated yet? What is the point of corporations being people and being allowed to throw all the money at Congress if they don't do it to keep the economy growing but instead do the other thing?

Happy Liberation Day! Liberation of your hard earned money from your pockets to the oligarchs. We're in for a wild ride. Also really getting sick of these fascists co-opting words like freedom and liberation as they do evil with them.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

First official half marathon of the year. On the trails of Rosaryville State Park here in Maryland. I am beat.

The huge security issue that this brings to light is hard to overstate. The best way to put it is that OPSEC is non existent. It's gone, evaporated when these people were installed in to their positions.

The amount of classified spillage and opsex violations is still mind boggling. Had I done anything close to what they did with that group chat when I was in the Navy I would be in jail.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

If you could commission one fictional character to fix the current US political problems, who would it be?

I'm not sure we'll make it to Thanksgiving at this rate. Halloween might be straight ruled out.

(No attribution found but seems correct.)

So apparently, bluesky has their alternative to TikTok up called Flashes...but it's not available for Android yet? Seriously? Apple is not the only phone in this country devs.

The traffic in to DC this morning was absolutely bonkers.

Like, I'm it the only one reading all the news happening and coming to a conclusion that the flag of Canada dn the EU is gonna be flying over what's left of the States at the end, right?

Doom scrolling as I fly home. Leaving Minneapolis headed to Baltimore.

BREAKING: Office of Special Counsel Finds Many DOGE Firings Unlawful with Major Implications for the Future of the DOGE Purge and Potential Jeopardy for Those Who Executed DOGE's Orders talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/big-d...

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

If just 3 House Republicans join us, we can pass a bill that stops Musk from accessing your private information.  Just 3. Keep speaking up. Your data is at risk.

Here are the facts: This flight took off from Minneapolis. The FAA was still responsible for inspecting the aviation equipment, and Trump just fired FAA safety specialists. www.foxnews.com/media/karoli...

Did you speak with Trump’s former AG Bill Barr? His former NSA John Bolton? His former CIA Director Gina Haspel? Patel’s former boss at the NSC, Fiona Hill? All of them worked with him and strongly oppose his nomination because he’s dangerous and unqualified.
