Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Authoritarianism suffocates not only political life but also economic life. Instead of the best products rising to the top, people get coerced into using Dogshit because the ceo of dogshit enterprises owns the government

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Elon Musk is involved in government because he is bad at business. He is removing these consumer safeguards because otherwise his terrible businesses will never have a shot at bringing products to market.

Looking forward to more deep insights from Politico. "Wait, there were two presidents named Roosevelt?" "Not many people know that RFK Jr isn't the first in his family to enter politics." "His name was Lincoln? Really? Like the tunnel?"

this is correct and it’s why we’re going to have to touch the stove and hope it works between years of anti-government propaganda and endless gridlock, the idea of an executive coming in and going “fuck you I do what I want” has genuine appeal to a huge portion of the electorate

Yeah, this is pretty obvious but worth stressing. Also, the idea that techbro coders with no experience in government are best able to identify and root out “fraud” is laughable

This is a dangerous (and deeply embarrassing) moment for our country. Republicans just put a conspiracy theorist in charge of one of the most important federal agencies for safeguarding public health and guiding the nation through health crises.
