Lots of conservatives axiomatically believe that the federal bureaucracy is unnecessary. Core worldview stuff. Really hard for them to grapple with evidence that it’s mostly good/useful.

“It is not too late to salvage the agency and its mission. The agency’s partner organizations are hanging on and its overseas missions seem to have remained mostly intact, for now. The laws establishing U.S.A.I.D. in federal statute and its budget appropriation remain in force and unaltered.”

Whether or not you're happy with how Dems are responding to the Musk/Trump Regime's Nazification of America so far, the fact remains that FLIPPING THE SENATE BLUE is critical to reigning it in, and yes, money is part of achieving that. #Blue26 secure.actblue.com/donate/senat...

I hope there is some media outlet, nonprofit institution, or university that has set itself the simple task: *remember this*. One of the most shocking & disturbing things about Trump's first term was how the vast bulk of it just vanished down the memory hole almost as soon as it happened.

Why have Enrique Tarrio's crypto investments not been transferred to the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church? AME is owed a $2.8 million default judgment entered against the Proud Boys stemming from their December 2020 attack. A debtor's exam should be ordered against Tarrio.

Dow dropped 700 points. It’s now lower than when Trump took office. Inflation is rising and polls show Trump’s approval on the economy is in negative territory and dropping, along with his overall approval rating.

(Another) constitutional scholar here: that’s unconstitutional. State and local officials cannot be forced (commandeered) into carrying out federal programs, much less on pain of criminal prosecution.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.
