To be fair, Patel was exactly this arrogant and incompetent before the idiot Trumpista Senators voted to confirm him.

The Heritage Foundation Project 2025 bunch are hypocritical theocratic ideologues mired in flat-earth level bad method (insular echo chamber dogma stroking). Dismal indeed, but not at all unsurprising.

We’re sharing this because everyone claimed Project 2025 wasn’t real, yet here we are. Trump has also been talking more openly about a third term, and Steve Bannon said there’s a group actively working on it turns out, there might be one.

The group calling themselves Republicans, the Trumpistas, are a disgrace to the name, and should be renamed (a more accurate thing to do than Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America)

Tony Perkins (young earth creationist, like Speaker Johnson) has a "Christian agenda" that conflicts with both science and sound policy. That they enable Trump 2.0 is obvious, as they benefit from the privileges the regime grifts to them.

Our demented President lives in a fantasy world of grievance-nursing & ego-stroking bragging. It is unclear how much of it is old style Roy Cohn overstatement lying, and how much is the cushion of his enablers he's repeating, let alone how much of it any of them actually believe.

Hopefully the ass-kissing funders of Trump's Nero-esque Golden House shall be as quick to donate when post-Trump the whole mess is demolished to restore the White House to its People's House condition.

One Bad Method To Rule Them All. The subordination of media to political or ideological gatekeepers may be fine for the Third Reich or comparable regimes, but is absolutely un-American and to be opposed fully.

Trumpistas like Gaines lack sound method. It would be appropriate for them to be asked what sources they draw on for their beliefs, and if they fact check them for accuracy before repeating them. And of course all our elected officials should be put to similar inquiry by media & citizens.

Lawmakers float a nationwide basic income experiment that would cover the cost of a 2-bedroom apartment It would be a tough sell in today's Congress, but if passed, the bill would launch a nationwide basic income experiment for low-income Americans.

There's a conservative case for UBI:
1) our economy needs unemployment; 4% is considered "full employment"
2) Traditional conservatism seeks stability & UBI adds to overall social stability
3) this will become even more important if AI really "frees" humans from work

That is consistent with Trump's malignant narcissism and (unjustified) belief in his own genius skills, Trump the casino bankrupter pretending to know how to fix the economy On Day One. Sure.

Trump 2.0 and the Rise of a New Pottersville Parallels between Trump’s second coming and dystopia grow sharper. Ethics, economy, and authoritarianism converge in America’s unfolding story.

My Washington is in that network. We owe it to our families and the most vulnerable not to listen to the dangerous pseudoscience twaddle being promulgated from what used to be our Federal government.

Then again, Speaker Johnson believes 2020 election conspiracies and comes from the Ken Ham brand of creationism (dinosaurs on Noah's Ark only 4500 years ago) so a strict adherence to empirical reality has not been a natural inclination for him.

Information distortion is routine for Trumpistas, just as fact-checking is notable for its absence at FoxTrumpravda.

Wouldn't it be swell if Trump to be asked for SOURCES for this burning Portland claim. Likely it would elicit a hiss-fit bluster response, but at least that would locate Trump more accurately on the "Flawed Flat Earth Level Bad Methods Secondary Source Addict" index.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do β€” hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
