Trump Has Taught Us That It’s All About the Bribe and Bullet washingtonmonthly.com/2025/03/31/t...

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Election officials blast Trump’s ‘retreat’ from protecting voting against foreign threats stateline.org/2025/02/20/e...

Trump's words below are astonishing. They're the comments of a deluded megalomaniac who somehow manages to be a bully & a cringing coward at the same time. If Starmer does go to Washington next week he has to defend civilised values and not be upstaged or demeaned. But that's easier said than done

When history asks, “who lost Ukraine?”, the obvious answer will start with T and end with rump.

This is the so-called Law & Order. 🙄

Acosta: It’s hard to see somebody out-Spicer Sean Spicer or out-Huckabee Sarah Huckabee Sanders, but Karoline Leavitt—she’s making a run for it. Unless they’ve already done it on SNL, I have to think something like that is in the works, because the skit writes itself.

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to have Pete Buttigieg's salary reduced to $1 in November 2023. Does she think Sean Duffy should keep his job if planes can't manage to stay in the sky?

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

Math is hard

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

I am pro-FBI but only a fool would believe the FBI just "found" all these documents. The JFK law was passed in October 1992! They've had over 3 decades to get their files in order. You don't think they were willfully withholding this information, do you? Nah, no way!! www.axios.com/2025/02/10/t...

@jackschlossberg.bsky.social Can your Mom take back her father's name and STOP the Kennedy Center Honors? It shouldn't become an awful affair with honorees like temu Hercules, Chachi, Village People, Vince McMahon, Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock, etc. It's always been true artistic achievement, not trash TV.

NEW: The N.I.H. will cut about $4 Billion from federal research grants that support cancer, virus and heart disease research. #Project2025 called for the cuts to end subsidies to "leftist" university agendas. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/u...

TRUMP PARDONS of January 6 criminals draw ire of three-quarters of Americans--including a solid majority of Republicans.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

This is an extraordinary analysis of the legality of Trump’s ongoing release of executive orders. Two knowledgeable and experienced lawyers (an R and a D) think it is “radical constitutionalism” (or made up law to please the POTUS). In short, not legal! open.substack.com/pub/executiv...

Marco Rubio's new acting undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, ladies and gentlemen.

This might give some pause to anyone who thinks of Musk’s DOGE as just a dispassionate accounting firm trying to make everything run more smoothly.

Canadians are notoriously polite and happy. Do you know what a monumentally incompetent asshole you have be to make them all angry?

Support Canadian alternatives!

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

From today's AP story on Caroline Leavitt: "Leavitt still maintains, as does Trump, that the election was stolen from him despite evidence to the contrary." Maybe insert "OVERWHELMING" before evidence. Or just tell people the full truth: TRUMP WAS FLATLY LYING AND SO WAS LEAVITT.
