Potentially burning every new direct-hire CIA asset operating in Ukraine or China over the last 2 years is certainly some kind of flex. Good job.

C.I.A. Sent an Unclassified Email With Names of Some Employees to Trump Administration

The list of partial names was provided in an effort to comply with an executive order to trim the federal work force.

Also hilarious—the idea of eliminating DEI within the spy agencies. I guess we don’t need our spies to “blend in” with the native population an

Fuck I found out today that even as as contractor and not a federal employee, I may have to go back into the office full time. Still nothing yet but it sounds like it could be in the works and happening in the not too distant future.

You also wouldn't believe the emails about things that have to be done in the office now that came directly from the EO's like in regards to DEI and what is not acceptable anymore. I'm talking about just having a small pride flag at your desk or having a poster on the wall in regards to diversity and accepting everyone. Neither of these things are allowed anymore and posters must come down.

It's unreal that he cares so much about this shit. The party of god damn snowflakes.

Replace the pride flags with upside down American flags.
 
Trump said he gave his "advisors" instructions to "obliterate" Iran if they assassinate him.

Trump says he's given advisers instructions for Iran to be 'obliterated' if it assassinates him

Iran would never assassinate him anyway, he’s doing far too much damage to the US.

I wouldn’t put it past Trump to have pulled security for Bolton and Pompeo in hopes that Iran will assassinate them providing him a pretext to attack.

US government would be prohibited from ever mandating lead pipe replacement or lowering lead limits in water

I wonder if Wormy McCrackpot endorses this. From the idiots who pretend they give a rat’s ass about children’s health.

This is how Rome fell, the wealthy families had battles in proxy to have control. It just became a government for hire. Lead pipes made me think of how Rome also poisoned themselves with their favorite grape sauce simmered for hours in lead pots.

It leads ( 😉 ) to results they favor!

"If the GOP is successful in repealing the lead rule, tens of millions of people would continue to have drinking water contaminated with the heavy metal, a neurotoxin that the EPA has found lowers IQ scores in children, stunts their development and increases blood pressure in adults."
Perfect MAGA soldiers and voters.

Jesus these goblins are really pro life, aren’t they?

“
If the GOP is successful in repealing the lead rule, tens of millions of people would continue to have drinking water contaminated with the heavy metal, a neurotoxin that the EPA has found lowers IQ scores in children, stunts their development and increases blood pressure in adults.

The agency estimates the stricter standard will prevent up to 900,000 infants from having low birthweight, save about 200,000 IQ points in children and avoid up to 1,500 premature deaths annually from heart disease.

However, the water utility and chemical industries have lobbied hard against the lead rules, claiming they “are not feasible”. Industry consultants estimated the initiative would cost $90bn, a figure the NRDC wrote is based on flawed methodology intended to inflate the estimated cost so they can justify killing the rules.”

BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed.

Any unpublished manuscript mentioning certain topics, including gender and "LGBT," must be pulled or revised.
insidemedicine.substack.com insidemedicine.substack.com

In the order, CDC researchers were instructed to remove references to or mentions of a list of forbidden terms: “Gender, transgender, pregnant person, pregnant people, LGBT, transsexual, non-binary, nonbinary, assigned male at birth, assigned female at birth, biologically male, biologically female,”

And not just from its own internal periodicals, but from any/all medical or scientific journals.

Wow! all the upsides to this is hard to count! Censorship ftw!

Leopards are eating Caitlin Jenner’s face for sure. Or, as the administration would have it, Bruce Jenner. That's IF she sees it coming. I am not really seeing any understanding of the word “hypocrisy” when it comes to the new right.

"Forbidden terms"

Never thought I'd hear that phrase in the United States of America.
 
C-SPAN is currently covering the planned all night debate on Russel Vought nomination by the Dems filibustering. I guess it took some smelling salts to get these clowns to come around.

EDIT: The nominee is one of the main authors of Project 2025. Also, they aren't really filibustering but debating until the vote, 30 or so hours from now..
