MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There. A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.

And as with the speeches at Quantico, staging any kind of operation at a major televised event makes everyone else there complicit.

Unless they are not.

Actually the Government Shut Down Months Ago Why federal workers don’t seem so outraged about waiting to get paid.

For, like, a month I've been looking around for some kind soul to bring the FAFO energy to this government shutdown, and in @ddayen.bsky.social I found my guy slate.com/podcasts/wha...

I think it is hard for a day to day Pentagon reporter to comment on intent in a case like this. But I do think it is important to contextualize what we know for sure and discuss openly who the government’s policies are explicitly impacting

The Department of War…From Within Podcast Episode · What Next | Daily News and Analysis · 10/01/2025 · 27m

Excellent show today on Hegseth’s military meetup and all of the potential implications @maryharris.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

We talk a lot about military recruitment in this one and whether Trump/Hegseth might make it go up or down. One interesting factoid that got snipped was that military recruitment seems to be going up (Trump touted this). But also: when the economy is looking not-so-hot... that's what happens. So! 🤷‍♀️

you know what's a sign of real strength? when your opponents try to smear your big expensive piece of legislation and then that smear *kinda* becomes an honorific (cough cough obamacare). naming a drug buying website after yourself is a sign of something else

Imagine being head of the DOD and the most salient thing you can think to do with that job is drag some generals over a few time zones to listen to your sad standup routine

I've been thinking about this a lot. Something the GOP has learned for better/worse is that they didn't have to SWITCH POSITIONS bc they had not-winning opinions. They had to argue differently. Some dems seem to think they can argue the same way while abandoning key constituencies/ideas

Honestly, a tough convo for me to have, for so many reasons. But I think Zue's disenchantments are relatable for so many more people than say, America's politicians, acknowledge
