Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

During a question-and-answer session with the press following the meeting, Trump admitted the #bailout for #Argentina would be of little benefit to America.
“It’s not going to make a big difference for our country,”

UPDATE: Trump admits Argentina bailout will not benefit the U.S.

A remarkable statement about the $20 billion plan that will greatly benefit a well-connected hedge fund manager.

If no one gets paid, that should include them as well. You'd never see another government shut down if their pay and benefits were on the line.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

"The Pentagon should not fear scrutiny by the press corps that walks its halls. It should welcome it and rise to it. In a free country, the Army defends the people—and the press ensures the people know what is being done in their name." www.thebulwark.com/p/locking-do...

Locking Down the Pentagon Press Is Dangerous

Pete Hegseth’s proposed restrictions would harm the people whom both the military and the press are meant to serve.

Reminds me of how immigration attorneys are now writing “confidential address” in humanitarian visa applications, not to protect the client from their abuser but from the federal govt

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · 14h

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Your actions have consequences.

You choose not to vote, you lose your say.

You elect a felon, expect to get robbed.

Not everyone voted for this administration, but everyone must live through it.
