I pulled out a particularly egregious piece this morning, but honestly the whole thing is wild. I don't like to complain about reporters who are probably working on assignment, but none of the authors of this story seem to be specialized in the social safety net and boy does it show.

Again, all of this is wildly illegal, unconstitutional, & a violation of core legal principles of the sanctity of contracts & property rights, & all of these fake government employees should be arrested & thrown in jail immediately.

Ukraine sneaked trucks full of quadcopters a thousand miles inside Russian territory, slid the trucks' roofs open remotely, piloted the drones (using Russian cell networks) and destroyed a third of Russia's strategic bombers. Maybe they do have cards after all www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

Don't worry. The new FEMA Director is highly experienced in the field. He spent his career as a Marine combat officer and Trump appointed him to DHS as Sec. Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction in Jan. then FEMA. Recall this earlier report about his leadership style:

The “we have to overturn this law because voters would never let Congress do it” bit is a great window into the Roberts Court’s basic mindset.

Did he do this while employed by the White House? Because that’s a glaring conflict of interest. I know, nothing matters, but maybe the way we talk about it matters.

Attacks on research are a two-fer: Trump hates science, and a lot of research is done by international graduate students who then stay on to become naturalised citizens. (Like me.)

More uninsured and people dying faster means federal government has to spend less, so Trump and Bessent can give their billionaire pals even more tax cuts. It's logical.

The CBO director is a Republican who worked in the Bush administration and at the conservative think tank AEI. Phill just isn’t a hack and would never do a data crime. These people tell easily verifiable lies nonstop because they don’t give a shit about the truth.

Donald Trump ... 1) Calls himself naive (not wrong) 2) calls Leonard Leo a "sleazebag" (extremely not wrong) 3) insults the Federalist Society (so far so good) 4) seems to have only recently been made aware of Congress (uh-oh) 5) reiterates his desire to be a dictator (there it is)
