DOGE “seemed unsure” of what USAID programs they cut and is now attempting to reverse some of the cuts, says @propublica.org reporter Brett Murphy. “This is the opposite of a careful review."

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

I hate Fridays in his administration

I see tomorrow is Friday.

Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day?

Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else?

I just can’t keep track.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

I'm looking forward to catching up LIVE with Stephen Colbert tonight. Feels like there will be plenty to discuss!

Tune in to the Late Show at 11:35 pm ET.

No Amazon. No Walmart. No Target. No Disney. No Google. No Apple. No Visa or Mastercard. And especially no Facebook or Twitter. Buy essentials such as medicine, food, and emergency supplies, of course, but make those purchases at small, local businesses and use cash. The purpose of today’s economic blackout is to send a clear message: We have the power.

#EconomicBlackout

Don’t buy today. Give the greedheads a taste of their own medicine.

@raskin.house.gov: "Mexico said they were gonna put 10k troops on the border-- they already had 15k troops on the border! ... He just likes a lot of razzle dazzle and noise, but the leaders of the world are laughing at him. And we can recognize what a fraudulent pretense this whole thing was."

Education Dept. workers put on leave after taking diversity training during Trump's 1st term, union says A letter to the affected employees obtained by NBC News said they would continue to receive their full salaries and benefits and wouldn't be required to do any work-related tasks.

"Dozens of employees who attended a diversity training course that former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos encouraged during President Donald Trump’s first administration have been placed on paid leave as part of Trump’s targeting of DEI programs"

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

This is who they are.

Trump terminates John Bolton’s security detail within hours of taking office | CNN Politics Within hours of taking office, President Donald Trump terminated the Secret Service detail that was assigned to his former national security adviser John Bolton, Bolton confirmed to CNN on Tuesday.

Donald Trump is a vile human being.

Wisdom from his many years.

I went to the Jimmy Carter public visitation in the Capitol Rotunda last night. My friend and I arrived around 9pm. It was below 20 degrees with the wind chill.

Wait time? 3.5 hours. Thousands of people were waiting outside in the freezing cold for hours late at night to honor Jimmy Carter.

VP Walter Mondale famously said of the Carter administration:
“We told the truth, we obeyed the law and we kept the peace.”

In 2018, I asked Jimmy Carter how he saw Trump’s first term on the scorecard.

His measured but deliberate response:

“Well, so far we’ve remained at peace.”

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

Anouar El Anouni, the EU spokesperson for foreign affairs and security policy, on Donald Trump wanting to take over Greenland.

"I can offer you a quick reply: We do not comment on comments."

Good on you for not even dignifying that old man's senile ramblings with a comment.

Things are going well.

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

Saying “I promise not to drink on the job” because you have a record of drinking on the job, should be disqualifying as fuck for ANY job, let alone the Secretary of Defense.

Why didn’t he also say, “I promise not to sexually assault any women on the job.”

Is sexual assault not as disqualifying?

The Trump family is also branching out to forge foreign ties beyond the real estate business. World Liberty Financial, a new cryptocurrency platform that the Trumps helped create, recently received a lucrative investment from a Chinese entrepreneur, a deal that could ultimately pay the family about $22 million.

UPDATE: The NYT has FINALLY mentioned that a Chinese national being prosecuted by the SEC for fraud, Justin Sun, has made a multi-million dollar payment to Donald Trump by purchasing tokens from a Trump-backed crypto company.
