Gift article; great read!

21 DOGE staffers resign, saying they won't help 'dismantle' public services Twenty-one members of the United States DOGE Service have resigned, they said in an anonymous letter, citing DOGE's ongoing work dramatically reshaping the federal government.

Even the people working at DOGE say it is a lawless nightmare for America. In fact, they know it better than anyone.

Thanks to these true public servants who won’t stand for such a dangerous betrayal of the American people.

"Recoup the costs" The sadism of American policy to war-torn Ukraine

"The increase to Musk's wealth since Trump was elected president three months ago is greater than all of the American aid given to Ukraine over the last three years."-- @timothysnyder.bsky.social

They’re called conflicts of interest one day, but corruption the next

Ohio State's $20 million bargain Everybody seems to think it's ridiculous that Ohio State spent $20 million on their roster. So do I. There's no way a team this good should cost that little.

the morning after OSU's national championship, I have one big question: why did everybody else let OSU take over a billion-dollar sport for just $20 million?

Say No to Cynicism We can endure and overcome the coming onslaught, but that requires not being overwhelmed or seduced by defeatism

“I’m not quick to condemn the cynical crowd because I understand there’s a price to be paid for honesty, decency & rejecting those in power…[But] we need to advocate for actions that strengthen the common good and against the coming escalation of lies & hate.”

Best gift ever. Thanks @jimmykimmel.com

An amazing human.

The American oligarchy is back, and it’s out of control It’s the third time in the nation’s history that a small group of hyper-wealthy people have gained political power over the rest of us. Here’s what we must do.

Today the great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

Let me explain.

This is a real tweet by the Democratic Party and I can’t help but wonder where this energy has been for the past 6 months

Mad men…

Philly has beautiful murals all over the place. Here is one you can’t see from the ground - only from our hotel window

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

My normie liberal takes are as follows

1) Summary execution/cold blooded murder is bad, and cheering it is toxic to the soul.

2) The US healthcare system is a moral abomination and single payer would be much much better

3)Charging this woman with this crime is an insane miscarriage of justice

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE
