tbh i think it's less that they don't think they'll be out of power ever again and more that none of these people work from a plan. everything is reaction based on what trump saw on television that morning.

US FDA suspends food safety quality checks after staff cuts reut.rs/42C4h1Z

We must expect and demand that the executive branch follow the law. We must expect and demand that the executive branch comply with court orders. To expect and demand anything less is a form of obeying in advance. Defeatism is a form of surrender.

Russiagate was no hoax

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

US Trump regime officials at the Pentagon reached out to “an unspecified allied state,” and tried to force them to halt their aid and arms supplies to Ukraine. They refused and now the European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to staff traveling to the U.S. to avoid espionage.

Ed Martin, Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. Attorney in DC, failed to disclose 150+ appearances on Russian state media.

Speaking now from El Salvador, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) says he was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia by El Salvador leaders. And was denied a phone call to him Van Hollen: "The Trump Administration is lying about Abrego Garcia"

"Martin did not disclose the appearances last month on a Senate Judiciary Committee questionnaire, which asks nominees to list all media interviews. Analysis of television archives suggests he went on RT and Sputnik more often than on any major cable network during that span." wapo.st/4jEmUJI

If a U.S. Senator can’t talk to Abrego García you have to assume the worst

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.

All these business guys have noticed that Trump’s approach to trade is ignorant, chaotic, careless, etc but I am begging them to see that *everything he is doing* is like this — decision-making just gets *worse* when he doesn’t have stock market feedback. www.slowboring.com/p/its-not-ju...

Reps Frost and Garcia putting together a Congressional Delegation to El Salvador to check on the people renditioned there by the Trump administration.

I hear from folks in DC that the DOGE children meet weekly in conference rooms to do their own custom MAGA chants together. Imagine walking the mostly-empty hallways of a slashed-to-the-bone agency only to come across a room full of 23yo boys chanting about how they're making America great again.

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

It’s not just HVAC equipment that’s getting more expensive, but refrigerants too. I’ve never seen this kind of rapid cost escalations since entering the industry. These cost increases will largely get passed on to end consumers. More expensive ACs, more expensive heat pumps.
