It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Dear History Teachers, Turn on those TVs because history is being made in the Senate floor right now. Senators are holding the floor to fight for our families and our communities! Kids should see this! I can’t tear my eyes away. Sincerely, Me (and so many inspired by this moment)

Ukrainian troops' logistics in Kursk Oblast destroyed, they face risk of encirclement, sources say

Growing number of experts say that Trump is providing Russia with intelligence against Ukraine. Russian forces in Kursk miraculously had extremely precise coordinates for Ukrainian troop locations, logistics and ammo depots in Kursk after Trump cut off aid. A day before Russia was on the back foot.

The Trump administration plans to revoke the temporary legal status of approximately 240,000 Ukrainian refugees, Reuters reports.

Not very long ago we believed we were the smartest generation in history, and it feels like overnight we just accepted that people are getting dumber and there’s nothing we can do about it. But it doesn’t have to be like this. We have to return reading to the center of culture.

We went from “what good are the humanities?” to “suddenly, no one can read” in about a year, and the answer to the first question is the disinformation and lack of critical thinking you see all around you. *That* is why you need the humanities. This is what they prevent.

Dems look like they're bidding on fascism at a silent auction

And, just like that, the shining city on the hill has become a seedy Atlantic City casino, morally and patriotically bankrupt.

Pull the thread…

So when the right says “free speech” they just mean “rape and sex trafficking”?

Yes

Arielle Kane @ariellesophia •23m Hey! @elonmusk your doge minions just fired me and my colleagues at CMMI. We were working on improving maternal health outcomes AT LOWER COSTS so that less pregnant women would die in this county. I thought that would fit nicely into your agenda? 3 <> 116 • 340 Ill 15K 企 Arielle Kane @ariellesophia •21m The admin told media yesterday that the HHS cuts were "targeted" and didn't included scientists or people working on Medicare & Medicaid. Well I know of scientists who got fired and I work on Medicaid. Just wanted to point out when you get things wrong - like you requested.

Arielle Kane was an analyst at the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

If you’re wondering, here’s the story on the leaked NRO data.

Absolutely right.

Once upon a time, playing politics with the debt ceiling was unthinkable. But during the Obama era, the GOP decided it was, in Mitch McConnell's words, "a hostage worth ransoming." They used it to force spending cuts; Dems should use it to rollback Musk's unconstitutional purges.

👏👏👏👏

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.

We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

ALSO.

X post: Elon Musk @elonmusk We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead.

U.S. policy was to help bring an end to apartheid and establish a nonracial, democratic government. In response to this policy and the Act, USAID/South Africa was responsible for financing projects that apartheid victims viewed as critical in promoting social, political, and economic change through peaceful means. The mission enabled community consultation and ensured that the United States did not impose foreign-defined solutions to local problems. USAID created projects and activities to respond to the priorities of the black community and its leaders, maximized black participation and leadership, and ensured activities had a linkage to the general objectives of U.S. policy. First-year funding for the program was $25 million, which was raised to $50 million the second year. The main project areas were community outreach and leadership development to redress the repression of black-led institutions; educational support and training to address the educational crisis in South Africa; black private enterprise development to combat the inhibiting effects of apartheid–induced discrimination in private enterprise; university grants to help create a new generation of economic and political leaders; human rights; legal assistance; labor union training; and health and nutrition

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.

Greeting you on Bluesky with this reminder

They are living, thinking, feeling beings

And they deserve our respect, even if we haven't earned theirs.

One love

Crazy idea but could some US senator call the Sec of the Treasury and ask him what the fuck is going on?

@corybooker.com, you voted for him. You and the 14 other Dems who also did need to get answers

@wyden.senate.gov and @warren.senate.gov must also given their key roles

Over the last nine days, the house has been out of session while the Democracy is sold for parts.

Would have been nice had the Democrat come back on their own and sued, yelled, stood up, etc. Anything but stayed home

For all federal employees:

Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs.

If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

I worked indirectly for Hayden at NSA and in other capacities during my service. He was always a stand up guy and I trust what he says.
