guys like “Jay” Bosanko, deputy archivist of the United States, are on the Trump White House’s list. We’ll see what happens but for one thing, Archives staff are just sitting around, waiting for the hammer(s) to fall. There are of course, uh, issues that trump firing a guy like Bosanko… - ThreadSky

He is the epitome of an abusive spouse. Like when a woman calls the cops on her husband. She takes him back, but makes her life a living hell.

He’s a 9 year old boy emotionally.

…might not be strictly speaking legal to which the Trump administration is preemptively replying to all: LOL lmao, laws

Federalist Society is going to get their American King that they always wanted.

For, like, a year at most before either their "king" hits the end of his lifespan, or the kingdom implodes because he's more interested in looting it than actually ruling it.

A lot of liberal law profs legitimized that group for too long

Yep, one of the core weaknesses and failures of Neoliberalism as practiced by Third Way/New Dems in particular is that because you're Center Right you have a huge neccessity to always validate and encourage the "Right".

Always leads to the ratchet effect.

Also, you can't rewrite history if someone is accurately keeping track of the actual historical documents detailng what really happened.

Where does trump get off being upset the Archives wanted their/our files back? THE FILES WERE AT HIS HOME, IN BATHROOM & BALLROOM, for anyone to read. He was caught red handed & still denys taking the files. ON TAPE telling what some files said! Needs to be in jail & they continue doing great job!

Must be more documents he wants to steal.

jetblackbox.bsky.social•22 days ago

would be funny if everything the Archive has about Trump just disappeared

Presidential records are permanent. Hopefully, someone outside the government is preserving the public records, and we should all send FOIA requests for rest just in case he forces NARA staff to illegally destroy them.

archivestories.bsky.social•22 days ago

Archives is non-partisan, grrr argh. So upsetting.

anthonyclark.bsky.social•22 days ago

Arguably, the three most senior officials responsible for the *quite proper* referral to DOJ over Trump's willful retention of NDI and other prohibited material have all retired from NARA: former Archivist David Ferriero; former Deputy Archivist Debra Steidel Wall; former General Counsel Gary Stern.
