If we're at the place where the president is calling for a governor to be jailed for no good reason, our democracy is in real danger.

Anyone concerned about the balance of power between states and the federal government should speak out now against this authoritarian posturing.

EPSTEIN-Trump is playing games. He’s seeking disclosure of grand jury material but that requires court approval which the law is VERY hard to satisfy. But the government TODAY can disclose all the other investigative material on its own without court approval. Why isn’t it doing that?

A jawdropping ProPublica report reveals the Trump administration knew many of the 238 Venezuelans it shipped off to a notorious Salvadoran megaprison had no criminal records—and did it anyway.

Nuclear is obsolete. The cost, the lead time, the over-runs, the accidents, the radiation just isn't worth it.

The ‘China Shock’ Offers a Lesson. It Isn’t the One Trump Has Learned. Economists say the U.S. manufacturing decline in recent decades was not mainly about free trade, but about the pace of change without time to adjust.

Don't lose sight of the fact, in the midst of the Houthi PC Small Group Scandal, that the incident serves as a confession by the Trump administration that it ordered a Wag-the-Dog military strike intended purely to advance a political narrative rather than achieve meaningful ends

As Donald Trump turns the United States into one of the closest allies Russia has worldwide, it's worth revisiting the news item below, which came out immediately after Trump won a surprising victory in November:

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million.

A thread about 18F:

This Shocking Moment at a GOP Town Hall in Idaho Is a Foreboding Sign Private, unidentified security personnel dragged a woman out of the event. It raises questions not just about tolerance for dissent, but also who gets deputized to do what.

A group of men who would not identify themselves, and who were working for the local Republican party have dragged someone out of a political meeting -- What’s next? And who will stand in their way?

The headline that 21 DOGE staffers have resigned is a little misleading. These were employees of the United States Digital Service, which existed pre-administration and was absorbed into Musk’s team. These aren’t the young idiots; these are actual civil servants.

“For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.

It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.”

This is my "fisticuffs" explanation of "Diversity" and "Unity" to Pete Hegseth in a way he'd understand.

This!!
