To the delight of Russia, Trump destroyed Voice of America.

It doesn’t matter your income or your job status, you have had a catastrophic impact on your bottom line under Trump. It will get worse, and your kids will live in a less prosperous, less free, less respected nation, but at least your guy won. As they say, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

To everyone who gets angry because it feels insulting to their intelligence when we say Trump is obviously a Russian shill who was always going to dismantle the American economy. Too bad, you’re not smart people and we don’t care that it hurts your feels to hear that

My Foreign Service social media groups are full of people from USAID advising that they’ve received RIF notices that they have been fired. The notices say they were classified as Schedule F. From me: a hearty FU to everyone who believed the orange idiot when he claimed not to know of Project 2025

The lesson that Trump took from observing Putin: Putin went from middle class nobody to being the richest man in the world while destroying Russia’s fledgling democracy and wrecking its already middling economy.

Trump saw that and thought: just think how rich I could get wrecking the world’s oldest

What kind of convoluted, pretzel-brain bullshit is this?

If the US was invading Mexico, I would fully expect Mexico to use any weapons they had at their disposal.

If Russia doesn’t want to be bombed, the simple answer is to get the fuck out of Ukraine.

Do you have to be a sex predator to be in Trump’s cabinet or is it just preferred?

Indeed: A man whose 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 substantial experience with the criminal justice system and law enforcement—and, seemingly, the legal and judicial system generally—is his having been investigated for sex trafficking.
Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

Trump vetted Hegseth in 2017; past allegations came up and scuttled a VA nom. This time Trump axed the normal vetting processes, hired a private firm, didn’t wait for a report, selected Hegseth. Now his team says it was blindsided. Uh, no—it got caught. This is why media needs curatorial journalism.

When you think about it, it’s quite on brand for the GOP to seek to protect alleged pedophiles among them by preventing the truth from ever seeing the light of day.

Eh hmm, Jim Jordan (cough).

From a friend: “Someone I know had a meeting with a Trump agriculture transition team member. This person said surely you’re not going to impose tariffs on food imports. He responded why wouldn’t we? And my person said: because about 30% of the food Americans regularly consume cannot be grown here…”
