Trump firing the 300 people who oversee our nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile and then realizing the gravity of his mistake before trying to backtrack is a perfect encapsulation of how is dangerous incompetence is putting the entire world at risk. Don’t let anyone forget it.

"One SBA employee who received a termination notice for poor performance said the letter arrived despite not yet working a single day for the agency." Legal pretextualism: the administration pretends they are following the law assuming some Trump court will agree. www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races. This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

This is basically the same pattern we see with allegations of election fraud: managing election data is complex, and require specific system knowledge. People who don't understand the dynamics of the system assume workarounds, redundancy and quirks are FRAUD and refuse to talk to be disabused.
