Anyone else notice that GOP* no longer even tries to make a case for efficiency or waste/fraud/abuse? And they've never tried to make the case that you, as an American citizen, deserve fewer services and poorer goods. Nope, they're just all Mr. Burns wannabes at this point.

Quick thoughts:
*These are two huge and complex organizations. They are not part-time gigs. They deserve full-time leaders.
*You now have a single person in charge of the two largest sources of personal data in the government.
*7 IRS leaders in less than 9 months.

Trump wasn't "crossed" by this judge. She issued a ruling, his side lost. Period. Any other president and that's how it'd be described. But Donald Trump's wishes are sacrosanct and any ruling against him is a betrayal. Trump's emmotions should carry no Constitutional or leagal weight

NO KINGS Dodgeville ยท Mobilize **In America, we donโ€™t put up with would-be kings.** Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. โ€œNO KINGSโ€ is more than just a sloganโ€”itโ€™s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together. The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we donโ€™t have kings, and we wonโ€™t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us. _A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events._
