DOGE staffers. These guys know what’s best for our government. Apple like experience? 🤔 No thanks.

This story about Sec Def Pete Hegseth’s leaking war plans on Signal is comical, not surprising and very concerning all at the same time 😟

Fraud, waste and abuse 🤔

Trump administration flies all remaining Guantánamo migrants back to U.S.

The Oval Office meeting between Trump and Zelensky was an embarrassment for 🇺🇸 The POTUS, VP and Press treatment of 🇺🇦 Pres was utterly shameful!

This proposal and the direction it's going is extremely disappointing and further weaken Ukraine and make them resent us.
A draft of an agreement calling for Ukraine to hand over to the U.S. revenue from natural resources includes new language referring to security guarantees, a provision Kyiv had pressed for vigorously in negotiations. Here's what to know.
U.S.-Ukraine Minerals Deal Draft Features Vague Reference to Security Guarantees
A copy of the agreement obtained by The New York Times says that the United States “supports Ukraine’s effort to obtain security guarantees needed to establish lasting peace.”

How ironic it is that Israel would evict Palestinians and force them to find another home.

I’ve been desensitized to Trump’s typical rants, but his latest musings on displacement of Palestinians and Gaza are shocking and absurd!

Trump J6 pardons are sickening! And police unions that endorsed Trump you are fools. He said he was going to do this!!

Trump’s recent comments on territorial expansion feel like echoes of Manifest Destiny, an idea that shaped US history in controversial ways. Is he just reusing old justifications for power grabs? history.state.gov/milestones/1...

DOGE is simply procurement capture by government vendors. The "efficiency" they seek is disadvantaging competitors to any of their businesses (like Rivian attempting to compete with Tesla) by throwing up regulatory obstacles and cancelling government contracts. They're not being subtle.
I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.

Yes. We need to get the full story out there and understand his thoughts and actions.
At least for the moment national publications are radically understating the contents of Matthew Livelsberger's political minifestos which call for a violent, militia-backed "culling" of Dems from and national rebirth of masculinity under the rule of Trump ... talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/why-a...

😳 Wow! This is crazy!! Definitely a flawed creation and the tone of the responses were interesting and somewhat surprising.
I asked Liv, the Meta-Ai created “queer momma” why her creators didn’t actually draw from black queer people.

Not sure if Liv has media training, but here we are.
