Biden should declassify all the documents in the Jack Smith briefs and then issue unredacted versions. After all, Trump claims he mentally declassified them so he shouldn't have an issue. And I'd love to see the reporters cover that and this way it would be on the record.
I had to google for a definition of "pool spray". Found a reminder of Kaitlin Collins being banned in 2018 for shouting "inappropriate" questions at DT about extramarital relationships. I can only imagine how the press will be punished in this next go-round.
I'm on both, but I've been posting for over a year and have maybe 1,000 followers. No growth. No momentum. No nothing. I don't understand why people are deleting Twitter.
I, for one, didn't learn about Blue Sky until a few weeks ago when Jay Rosen mentioned he was going there. The Twitter exodus has been in progress for a long time as you know, but I decided to keep my account because I have made a few personal contacts there with whom I exchange messages, privately and without the character ration. The place has become something of a cesspool, of course, but that's true of many social media platforms.
Thanks for mentioning your presence there. You now have one additional follower.
To anyone wondering why all of these inexperienced, incompetent, highly partisan, absolute loyalists are being put in charge, I’ve got one word for you.
Jamie, I saw that Elmo has some business with some DOGE bitcoin and the initials for the new dept created for him also magically have the same initials?! He has on his twitter a retweet of a logo with him and trump with the DOGE initials front and center and even the DOGEcoin mascot off to the right. It’s sounds like conspiracy theory level stuff, but the conflicts of interest with Elmo being involved in any way with this admin are glaring and unsettling. I feel silly even asking at this point if this is even “allowed” as I feel we are losing all our checks and balances.
I think NDAA will get done - a lot of work has been done behind the scenes in recent months. I think there is a chance of a shutdown. The problem for Speaker Johnson is that the main way to avoid it will be to cut a deal with Democrats - and that won't fly with the Freedom Caucus. It's the same thing we've watched this whole Congress. And I'm not sure how it will change for the better in the 119th.
Don't you love it! Trump is creating a new department, on efficiency, to work on making government smaller and more efficient. There's an oxymoron if I ever heard one. You know that Musk and Ramaswamy need a staff to do this stuff. They won't actually do it themselves.
I for one hope the UAP thing is real. Then we can blame the aliens....REAL aliens...for the mess here. 😂
They'll also need new facilities, furnishings, people to support the people who support them, the ability to expense things like business lunches (at the closest Trump hotel/resort), business travel, etc. etc. etc. Of course, as efficently as possible.

Sounds good, but I doubt DOJ does that. But there might be some kind of report that Smith will file.
I know, but it is nice to imagine.

Can you please add an account on threads or blue sky. I deleted the twitter app after the election.

I learned a new word this morning thanks to a Jamelle Bouie post at Bluesky.

"An incompetent, unsuccessful middle-class or upper-class man who is protected from economic duress by his family's wealth or influence."

I just followed you on threads. I deleted my twitter account a year ago. It's a cesspool.
I'll follow you today.
More super-great reporting, Jamie.
You have the instincts of a detective: "Show me the evidence."

I think you know the answer
Unfortunately I do…I feel like we’re officially in the Bad Place 😑
My biggest question for Hagseth. What is the largest organization that he has led?
The DOD is nearly a trillion dollar enterprise. I know he’s not starting from scratch, but it does take a different skill set to run.
Can the NDAA have an extension into next year or does it have to get passed before Christmas break?
Do you think there’s an actual chance of a government shutdown? I’m assuming they’ll get it together enough to pass something?

Also, nothing says efficiency like appoint two heads a new governement agency. How's Space Force going?

$4,484 in restitution. What a specific number.
