NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

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:

Senator Tammy Duckworth, who was an Iraq War veteran and Purple Heart recipient, discovers another ruzzian puppet.

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.

So, the MAGAincels who went from being experts on infectious diseases to experts on vaccines, military withdrawals, presidential immunity, firearm forms, voting rights, libel law and interoceanic waterways are now experts on wildfire management?

Do I have that just about right?

Trump's embattled defense pick could join Cabinet of former haters Donald Trump’s first choice for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, was already facing a well-earned uphill battle to make it to a confirmation hearing. But now some of his previous clips on Fox News,…

Pete Hegseth once called Trump 'an armchair tough guy,' JD Vance compared him to Hitler, and Tulsi Gabbard called him 'Saudi Arabia’s bitch.'

QUESTION: Hannity says Joe Biden lied when he said he would never pardon Hunter. But Hannity is divorced. So when he vowed to stay with his wife until death did them part, was he lying, or did circumstances change?

Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won? It wasn’t the economy. It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer.

Today, the right-wing media sets the news agenda in this country... Even the mighty New York Times follows in its wake, aping the tone they set disturbingly often.

Well played. And frighteningly accurate.

Trump won the popular vote by 1.5% this year, which according to @piersmorgan.bsky.social was Democrats getting "pounded into total, shameful, humiliating oblivion."

@briantylercohen.bsky.social: "Would you have said the same thing about [Trump] in 2020 who lost by a 4.5% margin nationally?"

"No."
