No one is accusing Steve Bannon of doing the Nazi salute. We're putting out that he did. Not an accusation. A fact. www.mediaite.com/tv/steve-ban...

Steve Bannon does Nazi Salute During CPAC Speech After Calling for a Third Trump Term. Crowd cheers wildly. MAGA is a FASCIST movement just like the Nazis and Mussolini. The options when confronted by FASCISTS are 1. Submit or 2. Destroy them. I pick option #2. www.mediaite.com/tv/steve-ban...

George Monboit: Trump’s appointee to the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Russell Vought, has suspended all its activity, slashed its budget, and Musk wants it gone. Congress set up the CFPB after the '08 financial crisis to protect folks from the activity that trigger the crash. Wow.

Got this from a panicked friend in DC. If he loses his govt job (a year from retirement) he will lose his house. He said there’s no way he can sell when the market looks like this. Google “Black Swan”. We’re in for some serious financial problems.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

USAID has been paying for removal of Vietnam-era land mines in Cambodia. Trump's funding freeze has compromised those efforts. Almost immediately, China stepped in to aid Cambodia instead. Besides humanitarian costs here, how does any of this serve US interests? www.nbcnews.com/news/world/u...

Dutton as PM? A very high proportion of Australians seem to believe that the gov't controls the RBA and thus interest rates. The cost of living situation - not sure it's a crisis to be fair - won't be solved by Dutton, folks. #auspol

Seismic, and catastrophic. Russell Vought, an evil architect of Project 2025, is also an architect of Trump’s agenda to destroy the federal government. Vought is a lawless ideologue who wants federal workers to be “traumatically affected” when Trump tears down executive government institutions.

If she's worried (and let's face it, clearly she has a very high tolerance for totally deranged), the rest of us should be terrified. #Gaza-a-Largo

Trump’s new Attorney General? Pam Bondi—a loyalist with a stake in Trump’s media company. She backed his election lies, defended him in impeachment, and now she’s in charge of “justice.” This isn’t law enforcement. It’s a protection racket.
