The media predictably missed the bigger story about DOGE, as outlined below.

Which one should I munch on, the blue or red snack? 😋 A Southern Right Whale, estimated to be around 18 meters long and weighing 80 tons, caught on camera. Stunning. These whales are relatively harmless and they are known to interact with humans. Amazing creatures. #southernrightwhale #sealife

In his mind, democracy itself is the enemy.

Good morning to you 🌞 from the Southern Coast on the

The shame and guilt from being molested is unimaginable for a child. You have a very difficult time putting value on yourself so you’re victimized over and over because you lack self-esteem to change your circumstances. You punish yourself with abusive relationship after abusive relationship.

1/ If you need book suggestions to add to your every growing reading pile, please allow me to offer a few. The list below is the reading/citation material used for a class on empire and doctrine I'll be teaching, later this fall.

10/ I highly recommend Solberg, Kruse, Molette, Cleary, Ellul, Hammond, and Alexander. As a whole they provide endless examples of how we got where we are, and man's propensity to alter our faith in the name of power, and how faith can corrupt the structures of power. /ENDS

Fired RFK Jr aide ‘accidentally’ crashes car into his vehicle as she leaves agency. Good girl 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 www.rawstory.com/robert-f-ken...

I’m so impressed by the survivors and I’m behind their efforts to get validation, conviction for those involved ! Enough is enough! #jeffreyEpstein

“Rather than defending civil liberties and civil protections, you’re turned inward to potentially hinder [them].” In June, we sat down with a veteran and military law expert to discuss “being used against your neighbor” as a soldier.

Since at least the time of Greek philosophers, many writers have discovered a deep, intuitive connection between walking, thinking, and writing.

RFK Jr. will face "hard questions" over CDC shakeup, according to Thune. The Senate majority leader expressed frustration over the firings of recently confirmed officials.

Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained. As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”

"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers

AOC: If anybody says “this isn’t fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congress” maybe you should stay home.

A victim of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has revealed how a group of survivors is compiling a client list of their own.

Don’t stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles! Even MTG wants them released and stated “her office is flooded with calls about Epstein”

Weingarten: Their attacks on public education are relentless and why? Because they fear knowledge. Why do they fear teachers? They fear us because we teach critical thinking… their brand of greed, power, and privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse educated citizens

At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

Now I understand that the current regime has appointed a Director of Election Interference, (horseshit), in order to interfere in our 26 and 28 elections. Once again, they can't win unless they lie cheat & steal - because they are in the minority, and they know it.

Now I hear that so-called Big Balls - - the teenager hired by Leon to help chainsaw our government -- was recently involved in releasing millions of American Social Security numbers to an insecure cloud.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Many people are saying that anonymous sources are saying that P.O.S. 47 keeps babblin about throwing a "Diddy Party" in his new White House ballroom. Related: has 47 sold the naming rights to the ballroom for a corporation?

Herr Himmler says what?

I wholly agree, MAGA is not your dad's GOP. It's a white-supremacist organization engaged in anti democratic schemes to win elections AND treasonous activities with enemies of #America . www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

Zelenskyy: In Mukachevo, Russians practically burned down American company producing electronics—home appliances, nothing military. Russians knew exactly where they lobbed the missiles. We believe this was a deliberate attack against American property and investments in Ukraine. US company ⬇️

Trump defied a subpoena and conspired to hide the illegally retained classified documents and destroy evidence. Garland made the call to execute the warrant and a judge signed off after being presented with evidence of a crime, and evidence of a crime was found. That’s why Mar a Lago was searched.

The president of the United States is trying to steal congressional seats so I don’t give a fuck about the Cracker Barrel logo discussion. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏

Anybody noticing there's a lot more trolls on here lately? I took about a 4-month break and when I returned, I found it was much more contentious.

Out of respect for the decisions of Kid Rock and Scott Baio to boycott CA, as a Californian I will abstain from listening to any of Kid Rock's music. I will also not search for or view any movies or TV shows featuring the talents of Scott Baio. I have already made good on this pledge for 72 years.

Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.

The Diary of Anne Frank is among the hundreds of books banned in Florida this year. When I was in school, it was required reading. (Guardian)

Starting in September, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers will make it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”

I'd like to see us using “hatriot” more. As in: these maga hatriots give zero fucks about real American values. Or: time to show the hatriots how a real patriot kicks fascist ass.

I'm case you were wondering why a celebrity who peaked like 20 years ago remains a top maga target. In neurology, we strive for parsimonious explanations. This seems like a pretty sensible one.

Holy shit they're bad at this. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
