What is happening in America today is the fault of the Robert's court. They gave Trump a carte blanche and he is running with it. They will try a course correction once the shoe is on the other feet, but the genie is out of the bottle. All hail the unaccountable presidency!

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Crockett on Trump's relatively high approval: We've gotta do better at education. People don't understand. But you will understand when your Medicaid goes away. You will understand when planes continue to fall out of the sky... maybe Sleepy Joe is what we wanted, bc we could at least sleep at night.

Keep in mind that the probationary federal employees who are now being fired are NOT just newly hired ones. If a long-term employee is promoted to a higher-level position, such as a supervisory or managerial role, then the employee may be subject to a probationary period for that new position.

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

I've been listening to some of the Discworld novels, by Sir Terry Pratchett. They're old friends, and hella prescient. "The Truth" is especially pointed for the moment we're in. It reminded me, again, that everything that's being attempted, and has been done, is -precendeted-.
