Felon, sexual predator gets rid of national police misconduct database

I don’t know why this is hard for folks to understand. The layoffs aren’t just about probationary employees. They are going beyond that. It won’t stop. It’s all about making agencies non-functional.

Democracy Dies in Darkness. Just like the Washington Post

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

"Stop the Coup!" Scene at Treasury.

I wrote a thing about how there appear to be at least a few of the folks who helped sanewash Trump/Muskism who are recognizing "wait, shit is going bad" and I know it's easy to demonize those people, but we may need more people like them to stop this. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/04/f...

This is unacceptable! Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren, reporting that Navajo citizens in Arizona and New Mexico have faced “negative, sometimes traumatizing experiences” with federal agents targeting undocumented immigrants after Trump’s recent immigration orders.
