DOGE = Damaging Our aGricultural Environment 😡😡 1/8

In the last few days of Janet Yellen’s Treasury, my amazing team at the Office of Economic Policy published a retrospective on the U.S. recovery that unified much of our earlier work. But the Trump Treasury purged it. Here’s a Wayback Machine link: web.archive.org/web/20250117...

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

I think people are kinda missing the point of what Trump is talking about by dismantling FEMA. His vision is clearly that the federal government helps red states and lets blue states fend for themselves. Trump is not going to screw over red states, but he'll gladly punish blue ones.

“None of this is normal & it’s our job to keep it from being normalized. Presidents don’t try to erase the Constitution or turn the federal bureaucracy into a loyalty corps. They don’t release violent criminals from prison so they can return the favor.” joycevance.substack.com/p/trumps-day...

Shortly after Trump was sworn in as president, the official portrait of Retired Gen. Mark Milley, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was removed from the Pentagon hallway where portraits of previous chairmen are displayed. Donald Trump is a tiny and petty man

Biden preemptively pardoned J6 police officers who were beaten and injured, to protect them against retribution from the insurrection leader because they dared to testify truthfully before Congress. Trump pardoned the thugs who beat them.

Trump responds to a question about pardoning J6 criminals who assaulted by police officers by saying "there will outside agitators involved. And obviously the FBI was involved."

Trump’s pardon of Jan 6 attackers corrupts the rule of law and rewrites history. These were not “hostages.” These were people who used brute force to commit vigilante violence.

Jan. 6 pardons Draconian anti-immigrant EOs *Nazi salutes All of it is intended to normalize and embolden violent extremism. And all of it directly threatens Jews, so many other communities, and our very democracy. If we can’t call this out, I really don’t know what we’re doing.

Thanks to the Smith Report, history will forever record Trump as a criminal who tried to overturn a free and fair election. That is what our children and grandchildren will be taught if we keep our Republic.

Some of the most interesting parts of the Smith report are investigative challenges, including Twitter’s refusal to comply with court order to protect secrecy of subpoena of Trump’s account.

The January 6th attacks weren’t just a dark day—they were a violent, harrowing warning that our freedoms and democracy are under siege. We can never forget, downplay, or excuse the gravity of what happened. Our democracy demands action, and we must stand firm to protect it!
