Loved it. Recently rewatched all seasons of Girls - so this was a perfect read. So many episodes of Girls are absolute genius. I can’t wait for the creative output of mid-life Lena.

Here’s your reminder that The Atlantic is owned by Laurene Powell Jobs, a woman billionaire. Imagine if this scoop had come to a journalist at WaPo or the LA times, it could well have been buried.

Everyone’s checking their Signal account to see if they have a drunk group add from Hegseth or Waltz about an imminent bombing or something. Only the best in that Trump regime.

Democrats on the various Senate Committees who will be hosting the members of the Houthi PC Group Chat had better...and I mean this respectfully...FUCKING INCINERATE THEM.

Save the bullshit. Burn it down. USE THE WORDS: illegal. treason. leak. reckless. dangerous. compromised. DEMAND THEIR PHONES.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

Don’t Blame Zelensky The Ukrainian president isn’t the problem.

The NYT article blaming Zelensky for annoying Trump was wrongheaded and I thought it needed a response.

Zelensky refuses US offer to evacuate, saying β€˜I need ammunition, not a ride’ | CNN Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has turned down an offer from the United States of evacuation from the capital city Kyiv, the Ukraine embassy in Britain said Saturday on Twitter.

I think back to this from Zelensky regularly. I don't think I've ever seen a greater example of national leadership and courage in the face of extreme personal danger. edition.cnn.com/2022/02/26/e...

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

Trump is too much of a coward to say a bad thing to Putin, yet he dares lecture Zelensky?

Russia is on the verge of collapse and Trump/Vance are desperate to save them

A picture inside the Omaha venue in which hundreds are seen standing and listening to Bernie Sanders. Many have their phones in the air recording it and it is a generally young crowd.

A picture inside the Omaha venue in which hundreds are seen standing and listening to Bernie Sanders. Many have their phones in the air recording it and it is a generally young crowd.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.

800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.

There is a movement to be harnessed here.

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE We the Builders aims to explain why DOGE’s data access matters.

Federal workers are unionizing and coming together to protect one another. They are sharing resources and it's a beautiful thing to see.

Musk has made over $25,000,000,000 from tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts. That’s $25 Billion we as taxpayers have both given him directly and had to compensate for. You care about the deficit? Great! Give us our fucking money back.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

The Big Picture: How We Got Into This Mess, And How We Get Out of It | Robert Reich
I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system. In 1952, the corporate share of federal tax revenue was 32%. In 2020, it was down to 7%. Here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Never forget that Trump was the culmination of 40 years of stagnant wages, widening inequality, corruption, dog-whistle politics, and economic gains for the rich.

If we fail to address this, we should expect future Trumps as far as the eye can see.

You can’t study warfare for at least the last two centuries without realizing that wars are mostly won & lost by logistics, supply, command & control, strategy. So aside from radiating Chernobyl levels of small dick energy this is just wrong abt what a sec def needs to do.
