An unnamed CFPB employee who participated in the agency's layoff decisions says in a sworn statement that its leaders were aware that their approach violated a court order and instructed them to proceed anyway. "All that mattered was the numbers."

it is crazy to me that we have pundits, pollsters and democratic strategists staring directly at trump diving head first in a quagmire of a scandal and insisting that it is bad politics to make hay of it

Damn, Andy Ngo brilliantly shredded the Garcia narrative. So, he’s also a step-father, you say? We have no choice but to set the constitution on fire and start throwing people into a foreign torture prison for life now.

somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty million people, most of them africans, are likely going to die as a direct result of a dramatic change of longstanding American policy, this 'heh, you naive fool, it has always been this way' shit is effectively atrocity denial

Yes, and statements like "we are so fucked/cooked" work similarly, as being super de-motivating.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

All of the federal grant terminations I've seen are like this: unlawful and directly contradicting what Congress enacted. It's not like agencies are just giving out money for no reason. The press coverage just calls them "cuts" and Congress is failing to make this clear for reasons unknown to me.

So today: - Trump says he’s “just giving you what they handed me” about Abrego Garcia. - We learn Trump didn’t know Musk picked the IRS head. - It’s reported that they didn’t mean to go to war with Harvard. Perhaps staffing a White House with unqualified loyalists isn’t a great approach.

Darkly funny how Russiagate turned out to be 110% true but everyone decided it was cringe and therefore it’d be better to pretend it wasn’t.

David Brooks right now is living out the only good reason for a David Brooks opinion column to exist: to scare apathetic elites into decisive action when the world really is ripping apart at the seams. Nothing else in his career will be more important than what he does now with his voice.

There's the white supremacy and patriarchy and capitalism of it all, brought to a festering fascist head. But there's a libidinal nihilism to this regime that feels new, at least in my lifetime: the almost sexual thrill of destruction for its own sake, seeking nothing but ashes. A true death cult.

Nothing says "we're the party of small government that's trying to stamp out government waste" like having US Attorneys investigate the editorial practices of academic journals read by a few thousand people.

Trump’s sputtering response to Harvard standing up to him is yet another reason why institutions should refuse to bend the knee. He’s a paper tiger, unable to argue his own case.
