Hegseth has disgraced the office of SecDef.
He’s failed our men & women in uniform over & over again.
It’s time for actual accountability at the Pentagon.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Friday night Tequila Tweet: Fuck all my former colleagues who turned my former political party into a cult. Into a proudly stupid, authoritarian-embracing cult. Fuck their fear. Fuck their selfishness. Fuck their cowardice. They’ve done real damage to their country.

Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikes—
Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy—
I’d like to hear Holsey’s testimony too

Degrowth as a label is so unpopular that a new term is needed. “Living simply” doesn’t quite cut it, “living within collective means” is too word salad.
I'm excited to announce this new study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, which explores public support for degrowth and ecosocialist transformation. The findings are quite surprising.

Don’t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, that’d be super.

So far, Trump has pardoned:
Changpeng Zhao (founder, Binance) - pled guilty to money laundering. Facilitated millions in transactions for terrorist organizations such as Hamas.
Ross Ulbricht (founder of the Silk Road) - the dark web Costco of illegal drugs.

I’m just a naïve professor of politics, but it seems to me that it wouldn’t be *that* hard to mandate that every data center project add sufficient renewable capacity to zero out its impact on the grid.
… and when the bubble bursts we’d at least be left with *some* kind of economic & social good.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

The stock market's gains are being overwhelmingly driven by seven Big Tech companies who have invested heavily in AI, which has made tech oligarchs even wealthier.
But when that AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag.
Be warned.

If reporters could remove their lips from Trump's backside for a minute b/c he didn't act like a flaming asshole in a photo op with Mamdani, perhaps they could focus on the fact he (Trump) is selling out Ukraine to the Russians. I don't know, just a thought.
