Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. Theyβre illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and theyβre illegally spending where they donβt have the money to spend.
What we have is an appropriations king.
Spending βdealsβ are meaningless under that setup.

Trump is sending $40 billion in taxpayer money to Argentina without the approval of Congress.
Letβs call this what it is.
Itβs a bribe to get the Argentinian people to reelect a fellow dictator, and itβs a big fuck you to the American people.

Using Charlie Kirkβs own words on social media may get you fired, but using antisemitic, homophobic, and violent tropes in a leaked group chat will get you defended by the Vice President?

If youβre a public school teacher who voted for Trump, you donβt get to complain about having more kids with disabilities in your room and less staff to help you service their needs.
I feel bad for the kids in your classroom, but not for you.

Firing the people responsible for making sure states comply with IDEA doesnβt eliminate special education funding.
But, if you think all states will spend that money properly on those who need it, ask yourself why federal oversight was created in the first place.

βThe longer this goes on, the deeper the cuts are going to be,β Vance said on Fox Newsβ βSunday Morning Futures.β βTo be clear, some of these cuts are going to be painful. This is not a situation that we relish. This is not something that weβre looking forward to, but the Democrats have dealt us a pretty difficult set of cards.β
βDonβt get me wrong,β Vance said with a puckish grin, βWe do like hurting federal workers. But we REALLY wanted to hurt regular Americans by raising their health insurance costs. Democrats wonβt let us have that fun, so weβre punishing people who work for the Department of Education instead.β

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.
The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.
While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.
The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

We need to talk about Russell Vought β But Properly
Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout βsmall governmentβ conservative β and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy
Sunday reading:
I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream mediaβs infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.
