Oh so lifting Russian sanctions to buy two days’ worth of diesel from Putin didn’t work? WEIRD!

This can’t be true because Trump and the Republicans running for office have been telling me that prices have been coming down thanks to the leadership and brilliance of Trump, Bessent and Lutnick.

Colin Kahl went from being stalked and threatened by Israeli mercenaries at Black Cube (along with Farrow) to having to negotiate Ukraine policy with Elon Musk. He's a one-man example of how civil servants get caught in the fray of what the US is now: a mafia state in thrall to technofascists.

If you recognize Kliger's name, it is probably in this context: he manually shut down life-saving aid from USAID. In between his DOGE work and starting his defense start-up he was appointed to the DOD as - brace yourselves - chief data officer. bsky.app/profile/donm...

Updated this piece on the difference between civic tech and DOGE to reflect new reporting on how DOGErs are monetizing their connections to Silicon Valley. This is the worst example: the DOGErs who blocked USAID life-saving aid have a $1.4B defense startup. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-vs-ci...

No speech, title, or presidential ambition can scrub that death toll from Rubio’s legacy. In this upcoming election, from local races to national contests, voting against anyone running as a Republican reminds the entire party that its power has limits.

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

What is failure in impeachment? You know what Russ Vought can’t do when he is sitting an impeachment trial: f**k with the budget. He will busy being under the white hot lines of impeachment.

time.com/article/2026... > a failed impeachment effort, a party leader suggested privately, risks being framed as approval I don't know if they got jeffries on deep background here or what 'waiting for a dem speaker' is strategic I guess but they're underweighting the impact of courage, as always

What a lie. Some of these people are being imprisoned indefinitely in squalid condition in African prisons. Others report being beaten and arbitrarily deported in violation of international law back to their home countries, where they face persecution or torture.

Blanche on the Trump administration deporting people to third countries where they have no connection: "This idea that we're violating human rights and the president and US is doing something to damage and put these people in harm's way is just categorically false"

Impeach Hegseth on January 3. I don’t care if you don’t have enough senate votes to convict and remove.

Forbes@forbes.com

Hegseth announced Project Meridian on Wednesday, explaining the initiative will identify weapons and technologies for soldiers and propose solutions to test and implement the weapons.

It is illegal. For this reason alone, he should be impeached and removed and convicted. There is no justification under law or the Constitution for a president to "cancel" funding appropriated by the Congress and signed into law by previous presidents. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

The video here certainly offers strong reason to suspect this should be charged as Attempted Murder What will happen instead is that this man, possibly paralyzed, will be sent to an African country for torture while the shooter gets promoted

The Kennedy Center joins the Reflecting Pool, Lafayette Park and sort of the White House itself (no tours) where supposed renovations have led to indefinite loss of public access. After taxpayer funded plans/construction, these places are fenced off and closed down, not improved.

According to the NYT, $9.5 BILLION was spent paying federal employees not to work. Meanwhile, most of our colleagues on admin leave would rather be WORKING. 🙄 “Government efficiency,” apparently. Goodnight to everyone except the MAGAts who thought this math was mathing. 😑🌙
