Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

No more business as usual. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are imposing pain on millions of people. Tonight, we’re taking this fight to the Senate floor. Russ Vought - author of Project 2025 - is up for a vote, and Democrats are using every second to throw a wrench in their plan.

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts. See how it works?

I’m not a lawyer and I don’t give out legal advice, but I’d rather throw my legs up over my head and scrape the backs of my thighs with a cheese grater than accept a deferred resignation offer from these unfuckable douchelords.

The White House budget office has ordered a pause in grants, loans and other federal financial assistance, according to a memo sent to government agencies on Monday, potentially paralyzing a vast swath of programs and jeopardizing spending that Congress has mandated by law.

The orange man’s purge of the Inspectors General isn’t just illegal—it’s a direct attack on our democracy and puts the safety of every American at risk. This reckless move must be reversed, and my colleagues and I demand that he comply with the law, no excuses.

Curious that word of Trump firing inspectors general came a couple hours after the razor-close Senate vote on Hegseth. Patron saint of IGs, Chuck Grassley, told us in Nov. he'd defend them and Trump shouldn't oust them en masse www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

This is a slap in the face to American women. Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations. Our troops deserve better.

Trump’s efforts to gut the federal workforce should be understood as part of the broader Republican project to make public services shitty so people will hate and resent the government. For other examples, see most red states. Republicans do not want a government that actually works for people.

Trump targets brace for retribution. One departing White House official said with a laugh that he had a 2-step plan for his immediate future. Step 1: Take a long vacation on the opposite side of the globe. Step 2: Fly home and hire a lawyer. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/u...

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

Word is that Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted will be tapped to take over Vance's Senate seat. I had the opportunity to speak to him privately, in a professional capacity in 2005 as he was assuming the office of Ohio's speaker of the House. Folks: he is the stupidest motherfucker I've ever encountered.
