though I guess that only matters if you have Jewish people in your life that you love and care about and want to make sure feel safe around you (ditto for Muslim people, and trans people, and every other marginalized population that gets abstracted into talking points by people who don't know any)

like the only acceptable response to "hey so, uh, that thing you did was SPECTACULARLY antisemitic" is "holy shit, dudes, I'm so sorry, thank you for telling me, let me immediately fix it, apologize, and never do it again or defend having done it in the first place"

okay so this seems pretty clear. he knows what it is, he did it on purpose, he chose keeping it over his career with the Marines, if we know this then Susan Collins will also know it, it will 100% come up in the general, let's be done talking about this guy as a real candidate

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

The litigation over who has lawful control of the USIP building plays on, with the Trump administration maintaining control for now. But I'm proud @rcfp.org and I were able to obtain this footage and shed important light on DOGE's intentions when they entered the USIP building nearly one year ago.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

The Republican Primary Race for the United States Senate in the Great State of Texas, a State I LOVE and won 3 times in Record Numbers (the HIGHEST vote ever recorded, by far!!!), cannot, for the good of the Party, and our Country, itself, be allowed to go on any longer. IT MUST STOP NOW! We have an easy to beat, Radical Left Opponent, and we have to TOTALLY FOCUS on putting him away, quickly and decisively! Both John and Ken ran great races, but not good enough. Now, this one, must be PERFECT! My Endorsements within the Republican Party have been virtually insurmountable! It is such an honor to realize and say that almost everyone I Endorse WINS, and wins by a lot, especially in Texas! I will be making my Endorsement soon, and will be asking the candidate that I don’t Endorse to immediately DROP OUT OF THE RACE! Is that fair? We must win in November!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

"There's a lot of work we have to do here at
NASA to prepare," he said. "We've got to rebuild our core competencies. Now, does this mean the overall workforce count increases at
KSC? I don't know the answer to that specifi-cally. I would say that there's a lot of contractors which do fantastic work that should be civ-
il servants. It's kind of the heart of the workforce directive right now."
He noted 75% of NASA's workforce is contrac-
tors.
"I think a lot of them should be civil servants. I think we should have those capabilities in house," he said. "We should have the ability to make changes and adjustments as we see fit, because we are NASA. ... We know an awful lot, and this is going to be our kind of pathway back to the moon."
It also means the primary suppliers, including Lockheed Martin's Orion spacecraft, Boeing's core stage for the SLS rocket and Northrop Grumman with the solid rocket boosters, had to sign off on the plan.

DOGE cuts led by Musk slashed a fifth of NASA’s workforce. Now the new billionaire space tourist in charge admits the space agency needs to start hiring full-time employees over contractors if we want to make it back to the Moon.

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.
