If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

We are deeply saddened by the devastation caused by the fires in LA. We learned that the @caffeluxxe in Pacific Palisades did not survive. We are thankful that everyone of our team, and our communities are safe and grateful to the first responders. We will rebuild

…and civil.

Tulsi Gabbard and Trump's scheme to gut the intel agencies It's hard to envision a less suited intelligence chief. That’s a feature, not a bug.

New in PN: Tulsi Gabbard and Trump's scheme to gut the intel agencies

"It’s easy to see why Trump sees value in putting a stake in the heart of the intelligence agencies. From his perspective, the risk they'll uncover wrongdoing by him, or the authoritarian leaders he identifies with, is too great"

You mean like real adults having discussions and disagreements civilly? No way! 🙏🏻

There it is

Finding one implies they had one to begin with.

How the Supreme Court Bolstered Project 2025 From Marc | The Supreme Court has recently become a witting or unwitting facilitator of Project 2025’s dystopian agenda for the future.

When I wrote this in July, some said I was being alarmist. Unfortunately, now I look prescient.

"Project 2025 is premised on contempt for constitutional norms and the rule of law. It seeks to reshape American government, law and society for a generation." www.democracydocket.com/opinion/how-...

Is the media really doing this again?

No, Donald Trump did not make his personal criminal defense lawyer the number two person at DOJ to "protect" the agency from Trump. Please stop.

When elitist pundits claim "No one saw it coming", all that shows is who they consider to be no one.

Never let them tell you who you are or what you're worth.

From HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020):

Trump will not deport migrants working for the companies of his friends and donors, and he will grant tariff exemptions for the companies of his friends and donors. Watch.

Perhaps more of the legacy media should have pushed back on his lies at the time. @democracydocket.com did.

After Trump's Project 2025 denials, he is tapping its authors and influencers for key roles During the campaign, President-elect Donald Trump denied knowing anything about the “ridiculous and abysmal” plans, even though some were written by his former aides and many allies.

We tried to warn people about Project 2025

They want to

Fire thousands of federal workers

Cut overtime pay

Use the Comstock Act to prosecute doctors who provide contraceptives

Let states monitor menstrual cycles

At first Trump disavowed them

Now he’s hiring them

Always remember that a large amount of people wanted to negotiate with Hitler 'for peace' long after Germany started eating its neighbours. When the French collaborators negotiated they nearly lost all of France to the Nazis. Negotiation can only happen after the invader has been pushed back home.

Wasn’t there some woman from California who was running for something who told us this was going to happen

Yeah, but that’s not what the “narrative” is.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Hypocrisy is on-brand.

They will be loyal to Donald Trump.

Why should he “throw them out?”

🤔

Logic is hard.
