Many conservatives, including the Trump regime, are arguing that trans people can't serve in the US military because they are not physically fit for duty. But at the same time they also can't compete in sports due to an unfair competitive advantage. Make up your minds. Which is it?

DOGE is destroying national security infrastructure and our cyber readiness. Organizations will have to pick up the slack for our own business intel needs. But it may be for naught of there is no more defensible government to speak of. www.msn.com/en-us/news/t...

Oh lord. The US gov "official" COVID website is now a cheesy conspiracy theorist rag. Can we sink ANY lower? Dare I ask that question?

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Let's call it what it is. Crimes are being committed by the Trump regime in broad daylight and the entire Republican party is complicit. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Medical Journals Get Letters From DOJ At least three journals received letters from a U.S. Attorney asking about 'competing viewpoints'

The Department of Justice is being used to intimidate medical researchers. Along with this so-called President also attacking lawyers, journalists and educators, Fascism is now firmly in control. www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

Way too many people need to hear this. Do not confuse narcissism, wealth and cruelty for intelligence. I'd contend that empathy associates with intelligence much more closely. Elon, I'm talking to you.

Trump downplays national security team texting military operation plan on Signal as a minor 'glitch' President Donald Trump is downplaying the texting of attack plans to a group chat that included a journalist as “the only glitch in two months” of his administration.

But, her emails!!!

What the actual FUCK Democrats??? This thought process of, "Well, it would be good to vote for this CR to keep the government running and there are no good options." Fuck yes there is a good option! Vote NO! Voting yes makes you complicit in their takeover. You must resist!

RFK saying he wants to study the correlation between vaccines and autism is not a waste. It's much worse. He will use our tax dollars to fund the quacks who will "find" things that aren't there. This is much worse than you can imagine.

There's a list of words and phrases that the Trump admin is urging government workers to "limit or avoid in their communications." He is violating his own EO, "Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship,” that states, “Government censorship of speech is intolerable in a free society."

If it looks like a Nazi, walks like a Nazi, and quacks like a Nazi, then it probably is a Nazi.

Trump has announced something called a “strategic crypto reserve.” I don’t know what that is, but I do know if you put “crypto” and “Trump” in the same sentence, somebody is getting fleeced. And it ain’t him or his fat-cat friends in the tech industry.

David Simon had a succinct 2-word response: “Bone spurs.”

The best part of this post is that Graham is presuming what God will/won't say to him. A basic reading of the Bible would reveal that isn't a good idea.

The more I'm seeing how the aftermath of the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting is playing out, the more I'm thinking Trump and Vance got outmaneuvered by, oh, I don't know, everyone?

If only we had had a preview of what a SECOND Trump term would be like... 🤔

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Putin's Russia is not our friend.

Stop Tracking Russian Cyber? That's Not How Anything Works... In the last 72 hours, multiple stories have broken detailing how the US is reprioritizing its tracking of threat actors. More specifically, at least two different agencies, CYBERCOM and CISA, have bee...

This is an outstanding explanation for non-cyber folks (everyone) to help understand the absolutely mind blowing announcement to stop tracking Russian cyber.

And please explain why we shouldn't fire your ass for tweeting at work an average 154 times a day?

There will not be a better response to the "tell OPM" email.

Elon. Please respond to this post with five things each you have done for the following, US Government, Tesla, The Boring Co., Starlink, X, Neuralink, etc. So, a minimum of 30 things. And gutting the NTSB can't count both for Tesla and the US gov. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.

I second this! I've been donating to them monthly for several years now.

Federal judge pauses President Trump's order restricting gender-affirming care for trans youth A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at restricting gender-affirming health care for transgender youth.

What I have going on under my clothes is nobody's business. Certainly not the US government. Why is "Sex" even listed on my passport? You must know?

What is being missed by the news media about Trump's tariffs tantrum is basic business sense. If the goal is to bring more jobs back to the US, unpredictable and changing tariffs won't do that. Nobody reasonable is going to create new businesses if the tariffs they depend on can disappear on a whim.

There are no guardrails to democracy if people are willing to embrace them. The Constitution, laws and norms mean nothing if we refuse to hold the breakers accountable.

I had to tell a friend this week, so I thought maybe everyone needs to hear this. *You* are responsible for the campaign promises of those you vote for. This is your mess.

A friend on the ground reports that National Guard armored vehicles were deployed. WTF?
