"the president is asserting dictatorial power and β€˜constitutional crisis’ doesn’t capture the gravity of the situation.”

"the president is asserting dictatorial power and β€˜constitutional crisis’ doesn’t capture the gravity of the situation.”

Here's an expert saying that "constitutional crisis" isn't the right term **because it doesn't go far enough.**

"The president is asserting dictatorial power and β€˜constitutional crisis’ doesn’t capture the gravity of the situation.”

Trump's "negotiations" with Russia: he refuses to admit they invaded Ukraine, asks them for nothing while telling Ukraine to surrender, stops monitoring their cyber threats against the US, stops sharing intelligence on them with Ukraine, and now, stops investigating their crimes against Ukraine.

While I'm heartbroken to see the paper I used to love fall to ruin, it restores a bit of my faith in humanity to see that the people whose work I respected and enjoyed the most are leaving. We need honest, intelligent journalism now more than ever.

"I walked out when he started lying about Social Security, and we know what's really happening...I couldn't take that."

Listen to my radio interview with KCBS on why I walked out of the President's Joint Address and how I'm focusing on #CA12.

And what they want is the same as in 1860: SLAVERY.

Because DOGE has shut down USAID's payment system (Phoenix), our housing
electricity and the electricity in our USAID building have not been paid for. Mission
leadership has informed us that the only reason our electricity is on is because we've
asked for an extension from the electric company. The Mission asked for a waiver but
because our payment system is down, the Treasury has no way to issue money to USAID
and State Department representatives here are hesitant to make payments on our behalf
for fear of not being reimbursed.
7. Once the electricity goes out in our homes, we lose access to our security cameras and
radios. Again, I live in a high-risk post, so access to security systems is very important to
me.
8. I have been told by Mission leadership that the cell phone and internet bills are due this
week with no way to pay them. This is despite the so-called "waiver" process that has
been allegedly implemented to preserve such access.
9. Our cell phones and radios are also the only way to communicate with the Regional
Security Office about security threats. We have access to no other USAID security
systems.

The agency is also considering spending about $25,000 to install a washer and dryer on the building’s 6th floor, according to a Feb. 25 invoice obtained by POLITICO. There is also a child’s play area decorated with a stuffed animal and toys, according to a photo of the room shared with POLITICO.

β€œPeople are definitely … sleeping there,” said one GSA staffer.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

If his goal was really just to cut fraud and waste or whatever, he could do everything he's doing in a legal and Constitutional (albeit morally indefensible) way.

So why does he keep ignoring the law?

Because this is his ACTUAL goal:

"INHERENT AUTHORITY"

Total power, with no laws or limits.

Read the Full Text of Obama's Speech in Selma The President spoke on Saturday in Selma, Ala.

It’s the 60th Anniversary of β€œBloody Sunday” at Selma, and thus the 10th anniversary of President Obama’s speech there, my favorite of all his public oratory, although it reads differently now. 🧡

Absolutely. If a right doesn't apply to everyone equally, then it's not actually a right at all. It's just a privilege for those currently in favor.
