I am staying on Twitter, also bluesky and threads, just in case. Only because I do not think we should cede ground to the right wing misinformation trolls. I follow back all legit follies, but I, as everyone, have lost a lot of followers, so it may take a bit. #StrongerTogether

I can think of a few things I need to report.
1. Trump’s reflecting pool scam
2. Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel’s use of government assets for personal matters
3. Kristi Noem’s DHS contracts to friends
Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "All Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision.
More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?
Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. wsj.com/world/ukraine-starli…

New Talarico ad running statewide:
"Ken Paxton says, I don't have his experience, and he's right.
"I've never been indicted for fraud. I've never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I've never been impeached by my own party, and I've never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.
"I have a different kind of experience. I've worked with both parties to cap the cost of insulin and pass the largest property tax cut in Texas history. I'm James Tallarico and I approve this message because we need a different kind of experience in Washington."

Only 63%?! We know what the inflation rate was when President Biden left office & Dictator Don took over. We’ve watched it crash for the last 2 years. We’ve watched programs slashed, tax cuts for the rich, costs increasing stocks & shares traded & making $$$ for Trumps family.

“U.S. military stockpiles of key weapons have been severely depleted, including Patriot and other air-defense platforms, as well as sophisticated offensive weapons like Tomahawk cruise missiles…
…the U.S. has also lost roughly a quarter of its Reaper drones”
Exclusive: CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s trip to Moscow was preceded by fresh U.S. intelligence indicating that the Kremlin sees the U.S. as weakened by the Iran war, offering Russia an opportunity to escalate action against American interests in Europe. wapo.st/3UhfSDf

Parts of Ohio are still without power and waiting on FEMA.
The Strategic Reserve is at its lowest point in history.
Gas prices are at seasonal record highs.
Beef prices are at record highs period.

Notice how nobody is attacking the veracity of this story - they’re all attacking the journalists who published it.
Every administration tries to hunt down leakers, but reporting on classified material isn’t a crime, and threatening to prosecute journalists is some fascist shit.

Here is why Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigned:
“Driscoll brought up concerns with the administration surrounding Army transformation and readiness and Hegseth's blocking those efforts specifically by firing the Generals who were responsible,” according to a source familiar with Driscoll’s decision.

Driscoll reportedly took his concerns about Hegseth’s leadership directly to Trump.
It’s very unusual to have that big of a chasm with senior DOD leadership.
We’ll see if Trump takes it seriously.

The problem when you declare that we have full control over the Strait and that it’s open for business is that we look really dumb when stuff like this keeps happening.
Two oil tankers were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz as President Trump threatened further strikes on Iran, while downplaying the "relatively little" six-month war. cbsn.ws/4x0xhxA
