@bettersafetynet And remember: that guy who is cheering you on to embrace your inner warrior and really *fight for America*, is hammering away at a keyboard in government office building in Moscow.

Q: Do you regret voting to confirm Marco Rubio as Secretary of State?

Sen. Chris Murphy: "It was a mistake. I think a lot of us thought that Marco Rubio was going to stand up to Donald Trump on an issue like this, when Donald Trump decided to align America with dictatorships."

@Joshua__Cadman @cpscott16 Agreed! Would love/prefer to see you over on BS.

Elon Musk’s takeover of the Treasury system exposes veterans’ sensitive data, increasing the risk of breaches and endangering national security. Those who served deserve protection, not exploitation. Congress MUST act now.

💧NEW via CNN:

"2.2 billion gallons of water flowed out of California reservoirs because of Trump’s order to open dams"

"There are two major problems, water experts said: The newly released water will not flow to Los Angeles, and it is being wasted by being released during the wet winter season."

"'They were holding extra water in those reservoirs because of the risk that it would be a dry summer,' Heather Cooley, director of research for California water policy organization the Pacific Institute. 'This puts agriculture at risk of insufficient water during the summer months."

Time to accept that we simply have a mad king. The guy slapping 25% tariffs on Canada's postage while calling for its annexation - and releasing scarce water into the Central Valley to fight already-contained fires in LA - isn't doing a bit or pursuing a secret, rational strategy

@ChuckThies @FeverPotomac @EagleEdMartin The "thugs" aren't on Twitter. Less flexing, more doing. Which doesn't mean laying off prosecutors because daddy T got his feels hurt.

Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's nominee for Director of National Intelligence, has a history of cozying up to enemy dictators.

She repeats Russian propaganda regarding Ukraine and has met with Syria's Assad, refusing to call him an enemy of the U.S.

@ArmyofNaveed Dump the reserve into crypto.

What would a foreign adversary of the United States attempting to destabilize the economy in order to jockey for a better position on the world stage do? 🤔

— Give a third party direct access to our Treasury
— install compromised actors in key national security positions
— institute tariffs on allies
— suspend due process under the guise of arresting “criminal illegals”
— cause massive unemployment by cutting govt jobs
— cut foreign aid leaving a China sized hole in the world for Beijing to walk through
— undermine military readiness

What else would you do?

American Dachau.

Trump starts flights of immigrants to Guantanamo. Unclear under what legal authority & whether or how ppl will access court hearings they have right to under law… or to where they’d be deported. Looks like another failed (cruel) concept of a plan…

Read @KatherineJWu’s article. They are memory holing the entire CDC.

These are essential public health & scientific data. They were generated with our tax dollars. I never imagined I’d see authoritarians deleting all the data on HIV on grounds of ideological purity. Fuck this.

An honour to have my IQ questioned by you Mr VP. But your attempts to speak for Christ are false and dangerous. Nowhere does Jesus suggest that love is to be prioritized in concentric circles. His love is universal. 🧵

"Trump is not a strong president. He is a weak president. He has authoritarian tendencies, but he’s weak. He’s mentally weak. He is vulnerable to all sorts of manipulation."

On the pod, Tim Noah is so good on why Trump's hold on power is actually fragile:

@ImposeCost You put it out there, you suffer judgements from your peers.

[Ted, not Lasso, but just as sweet @speshulted]

@ImposeCost You can't be this kool-aid.

[Ted, not Lasso, but just as sweet @speshulted]

@ImposeCost We can. But we're not.

[Ted, not Lasso, but just as sweet @speshulted]

@ImposeCost It is very clear from the attacks on our closest allies from an administration that is one week into the job that you must be trolling or I've competely missed the plot.
