“When conservatives talk of smaller government, what they really mean is the privatization of government, that is, the transfer of public property and functions into private hands.” -George Lakoff, from The Little Blue Book. Hint: this will not be cheaper for citizens.

And forevermore we shall celebrate that day

Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Marco Rubio empowers State Department official Pete Marocco to run USAID Marocco held several national security positions during the first Trump administration, including at USAID, where he tried to consolidate power and slash funding.

The guy overseeing USAID was identified two years ago as a Jan. 6 participant who entered the Capitol through a broken window.

Thanks Jill… tragic what happened, looking forward to the NTSB investigation. If we still fund them.

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

The guy from The Apprentice, who hired a Fox weekend host to run the Pentagon and a cast member from the Real World to run the FAA (the two agencies associated with the incident) says the real cause of a deadly plain crash is DEI.

Great response!

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

If Trump doesn't reverse course, millions could lose healthcare, food assistance, childcare, and even emergency services.

We've heard reports of Medicaid portals being shut down and childcare funds being frozen. Trump is steering the US into a disaster of his own making.

Banking regulator rescinds more than 200 job offers for examiners it needs A government-wide hiring freeze is adding to a staffing shortage at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., complicating the agency’s efforts to oversee thousands of banks across the country.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?

it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.

i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

There is simply no plausible argument that the president has the constitutional authority to refuse to spend appropriated funds because he doesn’t like how the money is being spent.

The legality of policy impoundments is just not a close question.

Yes!

Lucky. They’re still asking me for donations!

She’s absolutely right

Yup, False equivalence

Watch the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He’s probably the next to go, he’s supported DEI (also called supporting all your servicemembers). And he doesn’t pass the shade test.
