If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

Amazing! And Trump wants to cut NASA science budgets in half.

The FDA fired its tobacco enforcers. Now it wants them back. The agency asked laid-off workers to return after gutting the office that penalizes stores for selling tobacco to minors.

The FDA is asking laid-off employees to temporarily return after mass cuts decimated the agency’s ability to penalize stores that sell cigarettes and vapes to minors.

Guy who claims to be a master dealmaker can’t even strike a deal with one of his closest allies to secure the return of a man he mistakenly sent to prison?

Amazingly, while Peter Navarro is basically directing an earth-shaking reshaping of America's economic policy, he's still fighting the appeal of his criminal conviction for contempt of Congress, which DOJ has not yet dropped. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A tweet by David Leavitt (@David_Leavitt ) reads, "REMEMBER WHEN THE MOST SCANDALOUS THING OUR PRESIDENT DID WAS WEAR A TAN SUIT?"

CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @dccartoonist.bsky.social )

1) Presidents have no inherent power over tariffs. The Constitution gives to Congress, not the president, the power to impose tariffs. But the International Emergency Economic Powers Act allows the president to impose tariffs if he declares a national emergency under the National Emergencies Act,

“Trump’s tariffs wouldn’t be possible without extraordinary abuse of power on his part. The national emergency rationale is likely illegal. The lawlessness and the economic havoc are the same story… Constraints on dictatorial abuses of power facilitate economic prosperity.”
@gregsargent.bsky.social

Those damn penguins better pay their tariffs!!!
