Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified" This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

I think attitudes towards government employees are a bit like attitudes towards race and religion and sexuality. Plenty of people are unregenerate bigots in the abstract but have That One Black Friend who They Don’t Think of As Black. There are exceptions in the particular, unreconciled. /1

Honestly I’ve been expecting & now anticipate much more of this. The GOP will pursue forced compliance to their position on every “culture war” issue. That was always what they meant by “freedom.”

It was always apparent but now it's increasingly undeniable that all these 20-something DOGE employees were chosen not in spite of inadequate vetting but because they would not pass vetting. Trump & Musk chose the people who seemed the most willing to commit illegal acts on their behalf.

Here's an example of Trump being a "cognitively irresponsible" leader. These kinds of leaders are authoritarians who refuse to give good reasons for their actions. They would prefer if we just accepted "because I said so" as an explanation.

New: We spoke to government IT employees/contractors about DOGE. Their warnings were dire. The people who maintain the systems that keep the country working are terrified. "This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s history—at least that’s publicly known."
