They put a nutcase sociopathic dilettante who thinks we deserve it if we get Cancer on the same day as Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard because they thought Kash and Tulsi were so strong?

Your fault if you get COVID or Leukemia Seth Masket: "Sanders: Is health care a human right? RFK: It's not the same as free speech, because it costs money. Also it's people's fault if they get sick Some rights cost money! Trials and legal representation cost money. Running elections to ensure the right to vote costs money." — Bluesky

If the Secdef wore a uniform people would be freaked out over the separation between civil and military. But, the head of the Ministry of the Interior can I guess?

well-adjusted. I am betting his mother never gave him a cherry coke enema and tied him to the piano to see if he could hold his water. edit: that was a really obscure reference to the made for tv movie "Sybil." That movie messed up a lot of people of my generation who saw it.

Josh Marshall: "it was pretty obvious earlier today that this was a straight up lie. and now there's proof. of course it was." — Bluesky

Question: did the email reach the people in the Armed Forces? If so, I wanna know why not.

George Conway ‪@gtconway.bsky.social‬ Wait till all the Trumpers call for their social security/medicaid/farm subsidy/veterans benefit checks and there’s no one there to answer the phone. Forget the price of eggs; these morons are tap-dancing barefoot on the third rail of American politics …. https://bsky.app/profile/gtconway.bsky.social/post/3lgtmbxasyk2t

Of this I have no doubt

He could do something else.

they are about to learn some things I guess.

Ryan Broderick: "Based on my own research, following the federal funding pause: -Medicaid systems have stopped working in some states already -Meals On Wheels isn't clear, but suspect they're impacted -SNAP benefits are not impacted -FAFSA seems like it has been paused" — Bluesky FAFSA seems like a dagger aimed at the middle class. People use that to get scholarships and grants which are awarded by other entities than the Federal Government.

They are doing this so they can lower any vestigial taxes on the oligarchs.

Roy Edroso: "Better come out of there with something more than a plea for comity mother****ers" — Bluesky Joshua J. Friedman: "NEW: House Dems are holding an “emergency virtual caucus meeting” at 1 pm over the “Illegal Republican Funding Freeze,” per a notice that just went out to members (via John Bresnahan)" — Bluesky

Maybe they figure out how to deny these benefits to people that didn't vote for him but not others who did.

Susan Collins is really going to enjoy Hell after those cold Maine winters Joe Sudbay ‪@joesudbay.bsky.social‬ She's "surprised" now If only she had some power. Like being in Senate majority or chairing Approps What an embarrassment. Feckless ‪Burgess Everett‬ ‪@burgessev.bsky.social‬ · 38m New: In interview Appropriations Chair Collins raises issues about budget freeze, calls it "too sweeping" and disruptive She said she's "surprised" they did it before OMB director confirmation "so that we would have someone to go to in authority and ask questions" www.semafor.com/article/01/2...

yep

Of all the former center-right intellectual souls lost to Trumpism, Rich Lowry's is the one i really think saving would make the least difference.

This will be spun into "opening bid" by the end of the day. Unless low income people don't like feeding their babies and remain passive.

WIC? Oh man...that's gonna leave a mark.

Jonathan Slater: "When scientists said the Universe is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons, they forgot to mention morons." — Bluesky

Maybe the only thing saving the Ukrainian people right now is that Putin doesn't want to give Trump any power by giving him a diplomatic win. Although, he seems really disconnected from the cost of the war to his own people so maybe he's deluded into thinking he can just keep going.

We need a tapestry of interconnected democracies around the World. I don't need to control or even design what happens in Brazil or Malaysia but I would like them to support free trade, human rights and the rule of law.

I'm sure he has a driver to take him around to the bars.

Does Pete Hegseth have a blow to go on his car?
