33 million voters have been run through a Trump administration citizenship check Tens of millions of voters have had their information run through the tool — a striking portion of the U.S. public, considering little has been made public about the tool's accuracy or data security.

WWJD? Not what Kilmeade said on Foxnews

The MSM whitewashing of Kirk is in full swing.

They talk about his advocacy for civil debate, but they won’t play anything he said to stoke incivility.

They talk about his opposition to violence, but nobody talks about his role in J6.

We are watching Kirk’s history being rewritten in real time.

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them.

And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

His whole presidency (both the past and present) has been about ripping off the American people for as much as he possibly could get away with…👇

And now, there’s this BULLSHIT!

Senator Van Hollen’s commitment to the Abrego Garcia case isn’t performative. Wearing an overnight maxi pad on your ear after an “assassination attempt” is performative.

when I was 17, I ran away from home and my Evangelical Cult parents because I was psychologically and physically abused because of the prejudices and bigotries they believed. I hate to inform you, but our country is now experiencing that VERY SAME abuse.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism.

For the first time, scientists say, they have evidence that using a biologic drug to remove sticky beta amyloid plaques from the brains of people destined to develop Alzheimer’s dementia can delay the disease.

The VA promised DOGE cuts won’t harm veterans. Employees say it’s already happening. "To be seen or cast as this bad person after I served this country...feels really awful."

Maybe you’ve had a micromanaging boss just like this before and you know the feeling. Maybe it made you want to just quit your job rather than having to justify your service and your career to some out-of-touch executive who doesn’t understand half of what you actually do. That’s exactly what they’re hoping will happen, Melissa.

But when I heard about this email, I wondered if Donald Trump was going to respond to Musk’s email and report on what he did last week. After all, a good boss will hold himself to the same standard that he holds his employees to, right?

In order to prioritize efficiency, I’ve taken the liberty of writing his bullet points for him:

Purged the military of experienced and qualified senior officers, putting our national security at risk.
Promised to protect Medicaid only to backtrack less than 24 hours later by endorsing the House Republican plan to cut health care to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-rich.
Fired the experts working to end bird flu (as egg prices go WAY up). Now frantically trying to find and rehire them.
Stopped the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from helping people who get scammed by Wall Street and giant corporations.
Put your grandma’s Social Security check in danger by forcing out the acting Social Security Commissioner.

I love this. Elizabeth Warren responds to Musk's email asking federal employees to share a bullet point list of what they did last week by making one for Musk.

DOGE's spending has been secret.

No longer.

My colleagues have uncovered it.

About 50 years ago, I was reading political thrillers, including several by Fletcher Knebel. His 1966 novel, NIGHT OF CAMP DAVID, centers on a U.S. president who has gone insane. Signs of insanity include: desire for (a) an alliance with the USSR, and (b) annexation of Canada.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

DOGE released data about federal contract savings. It doesn't add up A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank.

I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history.

Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.
