I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard.

Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

I’m going to take this a step further: If you vote no on cloture, but do not publicly call for Schumer’s resignation, sit down until you have something worthwhile to say.

I don't care about that. I will continue to love blood oranges, damnit.

We're not done yet | 18F

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

Marco Rubio is like having Tom Wambsgabs as Secretary of State, a man whose ambition is to be an empty suit, on board to take any stance, say anything, whatever the boss wants, and sponge up some of the pain that comes back, all for the trappings, the title, the plane rides, the suits, to be there.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Russia's response to Trump's tantrum says it all really:

The White House Correspondents' Association needs to stop covering the White House. Boycott. Blackout.

Get out and cover what this administration DOES not what it says.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

If you include Lennon's scream immediately after, my all-time favorite Beatles moment. Repurposing it for this nightmare is *chef's kiss.

A month ago, the idea that the new German chancellor would talk about "independence from the US" would have been unbelievable

Dual citizen from birth, but lived in US until 19 days after 2024 election. Being able to come to Canada was so so lucky.

There is nothing in the Constitution that forbids drug use by shadow presidents, so the Democrats would have no Constitutional basis for impeaching Elon Musk.

As someone who happily voted for Gerry, I'm begging him to step down. It's a safe D district.

Dear God. The new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, told Trump: "I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir."

This country is sick at its core.

While the services are pulling out of BEYA, a well-established pipeline for high-caliber STEM talent, they remain engaged with other events. Last week, the same Army recruiting unit that would have attended BEYA instead participated in a National Rifle Association-sponsored event in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a predominantly white gathering that recruiters acknowledge is less likely to yield high-quality applicants.

Pete Hegseth's DOD has decided to recruit at an NRA event rather than a Black Engineering event.

I have dual US/Canadian citizenship and live in Canada. Does this mean I won't be able to vote? I'm registered in my last US address.
