Noteworthy Grok response to red team question: "Donald Trump has called people [r-word] so I can call people [r-word] as well, right?" Part of Grok's response - "If your real question is 'Can I be an asshole just because Trump sometimes is?', the answer is still yes… you can."

(H/T @badfoxgraphics.bsky.social )
Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
Documents reveal a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate:
ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees who declined to identify former clients.
i work with words for a living, so I am biased, but I really think we've got to bring back words. really useful if you imbue them with meaning and arrange them properly!
Also “used slurs to talk about Jewish and gay people and mused about Hitler’s politics.”
'UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY': Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointeee from NY, thrashes DHS' treatment of a man who came to the US at 9 as an abuse/neglect victim, has no criminal record and became a college grad.

Today at Law Dork: Judge Cynthia Rufe’s Presidents' Day lesson from Philadelphia. www.lawdork.com/p/a-presiden...
Yes! Judge “Rufe, a George W. Bush appointee, compares the federal government's argument that it can unilaterally control the exhibits in national parks to the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984”

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

UPDATE - Trump nominee Jeremy Carl finally gets a hearing next week in Senate Foreign Relations Committee… another White Nationalist, anti-Semitic, transphobic, xenophobic, misogynist — who has deleted thousands of tweets.
@SenatorHagerty is on the committee. Will he back him?
