So… the very same Republicans who said they were cutting SNAP because hunger could be “addressed by food banks”, just cut $500 MILLION in funding for… You guessed it. Food banks.

Trump has already been enjoined by courts in his second term more than Biden was in his entire term. It’s not the courts. It’s the illegality.

Is this the same guy who was complaining about Joe Biden using an autopen and not knowing what he was signing when he was president just a few days ago?

Trump said he was going to end this conflict less than 24 hours after taking office with one phone call to Putin. He also said repeatedly in the last few weeks how much Putin wants peace. He has nothing to say about this tonight though.

Excellent editor’s note: What a bleak day for the future of this country. My generation often jokes – in helpless resignation – that SS will be gone long before we retire…But dismantling public education for the next generation is sabotage. It's a deliberate effort to gut the future/rot the country🎯

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

From Above the Law, re Paul Weiss: “This bodes absolutely terribly for the industry. It’s an admission from one of the biggest and most powerful law firms in the nation that fighting a likely unconstitutional Executive Order in court just isn’t worth it.”

Willis Conover’s jazz program on Voice of America was a lifeline for young Russians during the Cold War, a rare taste of freedom beyond propaganda. Now, as VOA is dismantled, America loses a powerful voice abroad—while one voice grows louder at home. Marvin Kalb explains.

One close Trump adviser simply says that the president’s ultimate leverage against certain judges who try to stand in the way of his agenda is that the judiciary does not command an army, while the president of the United States does.

Yep. Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.” apnews.com/article/soci...

For those folks who have been waiting to climb the pole and ring the “constitutional crisis” bell, it would appear we have arrived. Neither Judge Sorokin nor Judge Boasberg believed that he was signing a meaningless order, and both judges demanded compliance that never came.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.
