At will? Whose will?
Removing independent agency heads is part of a broader assault on a nonpartisan government
New, from me: by embracing unitary executive theory, the Supreme Court is moving towards making all public employees fireable at the will of the President.
This will not just hurt government competence, it will aid democratic backsliding. ๐งต

Yep, they're also proposing to make it so that you cannot get ESTA without a smartphone. They'll get rid of the functionality on the current website and require you to use ESTA Mobile.
Don't have a smartphone? Well, the answer will apparently be "tough luck, you can't come to the US through ESTA."

When Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, the agreement was the Budapest Memorandum (1994), where the U.S., UK, and Russia promised to respect Ukraine's sovereignty, independence, and borders in exchange for Ukraine transferring its Soviet-era nuclear arsenal to Russia for dismantling, joining the non-proliferation treaty, and receiving security assurances and economic compensation. While the U.S. provided technical help, the "assurances" weren't legally binding defense guarantees, leading to Russia's later violations in 2014 and 2022, notes Stanford University and Brookings.
BACK TO BASICS: Ukraine was invaded by Russia. Russia is the bad guy, the aggressor and should not be rewarded. Ukraine did not have to, but they gave up their nukes, we should honor that as a nation. In the beginning everyone was sure Ukraine would fall. It hasnโt. We need Ukraine as a strong ally.

This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee.
But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.

So Liz Truss- yes, the blink-and-you-missed-it Prime Minister, now has a YouTube show thatโs so spectacularly awful it should immediately be renamed "They Tried to Silence Me", since thatโs apparently the only line in her script.
