Horrific!

Banking regulator rescinds more than 200 job offers for examiners it needs A government-wide hiring freeze is adding to a staffing shortage at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., complicating the agency’s efforts to oversee thousands of banks across the country.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?

it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.

i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:

If Dems controlled the House, there would be cries for an impeachment inquiry over the IG
firings.

By the way, is anybody looking for the foremost expert on IG’s? It’s Glenn Fine at @brookings.edu
He literally wrote the book.

Trump ousts at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.

Continue to push back, Police unions and all of us. Criminals being set free is both horrific, a danger to our citizens, makes a mockery of the law —cuts “Protect and Serve” off from their ability to do their sworn duty and keep us safe! 🤬

Outrageous!

The right result, and even the right reasoning, but 5 to 4. Man oh man how close we came to another terrible outcome.

Boom boom. 11th circuit denies emergency motion, for which Trump had filed brief in support, to block Smith report. But doesn't remove Cannon's lawless order giving another 3 days from 11th circuit holding, w/ no basis whatsoever. Just tells DOJ they can file a notice of appeal from that order.

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever.

Make it go viral but make sure she benefits.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

House Democrats seek new blood in committee leadership Facing a second Trump term, House Democrats are shifting Committee leadership to put younger Representatives at the forefront of challenging a Trump agenda.

“Particularly at this moment, more of the same from the Democratic Party simply will not work.”

Water is a critical resource - certain negotiators are fully at the table - others need to respect this process.

Superb!

Possibly. The trend is there already. If attacks continue, we’ll need more licensed medical folks too.
