Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Breaking "the government" and replacing the "deep state" civil servants with AI bots programmed by 20-something right wing Elon fanboys may sound like a great idea until it's time to eat an egg or a chicken sandwich without fear of getting sick, or deal with a hurricane or get on an airplane.

The State Department has fired about 60 contractors who work for its democracy, human rights, and labor bureau — a division whose programs have often been criticized by authoritarian leaders. The dismissals deal a severe blow to the bureau. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

Yup. Same thing on the House side. However imperfect congressional Democrats are in opposition, the ones with serious leverage here are any handful of congressional Republicans.

Strong, accurate, and to the point: "Plaintiffs reasonably fear that all or parts of this list might be published by allies of President Trump, thus placing themselves and their families in immediate danger of retribution by the now pardoned and at-large Jan. 6 convicted felons."

The world’s richest man has declared war on the US government and, in just days, has moved to slash its size and reach, gaining access to its most sensitive secrets. He has also threatened to use his fortune to bankroll electoral challenges to anyone opposing him. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

They wanted you to believe they had an airtight plan. Resistance was futile. They were ready. The first week shows they’re same idiots with the more hubris and incompetence. Stop being afraid and get louder. Don’t believe their bullshit. We aren’t afraid of Ketamine Leon or Temu Nosferatu.

For those who grew up in the 1960s/'70s, Trump's 1st week was especially painful and disorienting. His dictates were an all-out assault on the civil rights wins of that era, from Selma to Stonewall, ripping up the narrative of our lifetimes. Now what? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Whether it’s Lloyd Austin earning four stars as a general or Pete Hegseth drinking four gin and tonics before noon, both Secretaries of Defense have some impressive accomplishments.

Normally, most Americans and even we in the media don't pay much attention to the Secretary of Defense. Now with Pete Hegseth running this critical agency he has absolutely no qualifications for, which controls our nukes, we'll be keeping tabs daily to see if he's drunk off his ass or goofing on TV.
