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...

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

Unions for federal workers have filed a lawsuit to block Trump's mass firings of probationary federal employees — alleging that officials are exploiting and misusing the probationary period. The unions say the firings are "one of the most massive employment frauds in the history of this country."

DOGE is not about waste and fraud. This is about gutting government services without any evaluation of their need. Americans have decided to have and fund an effective National Park Service. Trump and Musk are trampling on democracy to do whatever the hell they want.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

This weasel actually insists it’s a “longstanding norm” that only the president or his attorney general can say “what the law is” which is, of course, absolute garbage.

(📢) This is an ASK ME ANYTHING (AMA) post—my first one in over a year, I think. Ask me any question, on any topic, and I will answer it honestly. (The only rule here is that you have to retweet this post before you ask your question, so that there will be at least _some_ audience for the answers.)

Marcy makes a very nice point here. If Trump asserted that Special Counsel Jack Smith—who was in charge of just two cases against basically one person—was a principal officer who required Senate confirmation, then how could Co-President Musk—who’s remaking the entire government—be anything less?
