This is not accidental. They can't keep spreading conspiracy theories about what USAID was doing (at least not as easily) if the genuine records are right there, publicly available for everyone to read. There have to be consequences for this down the road. People need to pay for actions like these.

If he wasn’t a government official, I’d say this was the musing of a stupid man that we should shrug off. Instead it’s the taunting of a state actor who believes he possesses a royal prerogative to dispense with our laws.

Hey @washingtonpost.com you say your new Kash Patel story has "not previously been reported." Wrong, we at @motherjones.com scooped you and had this out earlier today. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Feel free to correct.

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.

Does Trump realize how perfectly he is setting up the Congressional election in two years to flip Democratic and lose him the power he thinks he has? And, BTW, who’s got the pin to burst Elon’s bubble - his wealth needs to disappear!

The Democratic “plan” is to “not get distracted” as Trump seizes Treasury, purges the FBI and the military, and completely defies all laws limiting himself, and then win back the House in 2026 by talking about inflation. It’s an awful plan.

Valleys are flooding just so Donald Trump could brag that he "turned on the water in California." Planes are crashing just so Donald Trump could brag that he "trimmed the staff at the FAA." He is such a simple-minded person who never thinks of consequences. Maybe because he has never faced any.

I had a desk there for the Baltimore Sun, as did other regional newspapers like the Boston Globe & chains like Scripps Howard. A lower circulation paper could have been picked for this “rotation,” but of course the Trump-Hegseth regime instead kicks out the Times. This is not in the public interest.

There has never been a larger gap in my (admittedly quite short) professional life between how lay folks and law profs are talking about what is happening in government right now. So much of what Trump is doing is just blatantly illegal — often in several ways at once.

This puritanical pixie thinks Jesus's Sermon on the Mount was radical ideology. "Blessed are the merciful." Matthew 5:7 Christian Nationalists are the least likely Americans to pay attention to Jesus. Even atheists are more likely to follow his teachings, if only inadvertently.

Since House Republicans are creating a new Jan. 6 panel, here's a piece I wrote about Congress's inquiry into the post-Civil War Klan. The new body will likely do what the Klan's enablers did in 1871-2: berate & belittle the victims of violence while denying any organized terrorism took place.🗃️
