The cruelty from this administration is in part to distract from their rampant incompetence. They want you outraged so you forget that they “mistakenly” fired scientists combatting bird flu and the experts that maintain our nuclear weapons.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Crockett on Trump's relatively high approval: We've gotta do better at education. People don't understand. But you will understand when your Medicaid goes away. You will understand when planes continue to fall out of the sky... maybe Sleepy Joe is what we wanted, bc we could at least sleep at night.

Crockett: "I support that we should not be voting for this funding bill bc it's gonna gut the things that we care about. And I don't believe that we can enter in good faith negotiations w/ ppl that literally could care less about their word... they have a Trump trifecta. Y'all better figure it out."

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

New—Social Security Administration (SSA) Commissioner stepped down bc she wouldn't comply w/ DOGE. Lower-level staffer Leland Dudek replaced her. In a now-deleted LinkedIn post (pre-promotion) shared w/ me, he said he was placed on admin leave bc he "circumvented the chain of command" to help DOGE.

The same corporate lapdogs who rolled up their sleeves to enthusiastically fight democratic socialists like Bernie Sanders are conveniently silent as Benjamin Netanyahu slaughters Palestinian civilians. This is because the enemies of real change will always find themselves on the side of power.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

1. He's right. 2. He's right because he and his colleagues in the Senate are pathetic, comfortable followers. They could lead this movement to dislodge Trump, but they have no interest.

My favorite scene in Merlin, the 1998 NBC miniseries starring Sam Neill available on Blu-ray™, is how they realize the way to stop the evil Queen Mab from rising to power to bring back the "old ways" was by not acknowledging her power and literally turning their backs on her and walking away.

The only comprehensible way to understand what’s happening is these miscreants are abusing their power to dismantle our democratic govt, destroy our democratic alliances to further enrich themselves and ally with dictatorships around the world. Pain, suffering, stability, security—they don’t care.

Again, Trump fired SBA Inspector General Mike Ware after he found $200 billion in fraud in Trump's COVID programs and returned $40B to the US Treasury. Instead, Trump brought in a bunch of fascist boys who know nothing about accounting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

Fed goons removing the T & Q from the LGBTQ at Stonewall should make you more angry than it makes you sad. Rage for those killed by this government during the AIDS crisis. Rage for all of us who have to live fraught lives just for being ourselves. Not just sadness, rage. This was done to us.

Unlike past Presidents, trump has shown that he's not interested in being President of ALL the people. He'd rather "Own the Libs," and send the country hurtling off a cliff in the process. Please read and share my latest FREE Substack. brooklyndaddefiant.substack.com/p/president-...

Analysis by Glenn Kessler: As the Trump administration this week dismantled the USAID, the White House issued a statement justifying its actions. But the numbers cited in the news release hardly justify the claim that these are “massive sums” of money.
