They want power without responsibility and are people of the lie. They externalize blame. They gaslight and deny reality. They project constantly, and their every accusation is a confession. We can’t change who they are, but we can keep each other sane by accurately observing what is real and true.

Why were these people confirmed in the first place? There is a cancer on the heart of the presidency, to quote from the Watergate era, and it’s infecting all of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/what-will-...

Rep. Himes: “As far as I can tell, we are now on team Kremlin. We vote with them and against our allies in the UN. We humiliate President Zelensky in the Oval Office. The president's chief Russia negotiator, Steve Witkoff, is repeating Russian talking points.”

He shrugs and passes off the massive FUBAR by his cabinet picks as just a mistake, something they will learn from. Seriously?! “Learning from mistakes” should have happened Long before they were picked for this level of responsibility! Truly frightening.

“… DOGE is struggling to find fraud in Social Security. Claims of massive fraud by Elon Musk and President Trump are at odds with reams of audits and reports on the agency’s spending.” ?? Maybe because they failed to turn the mirror around to find the fraud!!!

Just read trump is frustrated with the slow pace of deportations. Maybe because there never were anywhere Close to the number of criminal refugees and undocumented people here? How does he walk that back and admit the Democrats never did have open borders?!

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

New in PN: MAGA's Orwellian notion of "free speech" "What MAGA celebrates as 'free speech' is typically rightwing propaganda. While this alienates America from our allies, it perfectly aligns the administration with autocratic regimes in places like Russia."

Again and again, these GOP senators are choosing to remain silent or outright enable the shredding of our Constitution and dismantling of our government because they care more about the billionaires who will benefit than they do about us. And all of these senators are facing re-election next year.

Trump empowered Bondi to lead an effort to “fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism” in government institutions. “You’ve never had that before,” Trump said. “If we don’t have religious liberty, then we don’t have a free country.” And violence against Jews, Muslims, Native Americans?

Amazing exchange here w/ Sen Chuck Grassley about the USAID shutdown... Bulwark's Joe Perticone: "Do you think it’s legal—to shut down an agency without Congress’s consent?" Grassley: "Well, I—that’s kind of a constitutional question." Perticone: "You’re chairman of the Judiciary Committee."

The new administration's war on what it calls "DEI" is playing out in all kinds of ways. Here's a small one: In his first term, Trump signed off on naming an observatory after Vera Rubin. Now, her biography on the federal website has undergone some pointed changes: www.propublica.org/article/vera...
