A systematic attack on the rule of law. Watergate-level high crimes and misdemeanors happening every day.
Breaking MSNBC:

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida called a division-wide meeting this afternoon, following the resignations of two prosecutors who were asked to take part in a vast "conspiracy" investigation into former intel and law enforcement officials.

41.7 million people are losing their SNAP support... illegally. But here's one of the shiny toilets from where our president will be online trolling these families.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Currently hooked on "Mussolini: Son of the Century" on MUBI. It strips away the myth and exposes a hollow showman driven almost entirely by self-preservation and power. It may also be the most singularly relevant entertainment at any point in the last 20 years.

This. The president can't extort corporations to pay essentially taxes to him personally so that he can use that money at his personal discretion to do government work.
It flies under the radar because it is overwhelmed by the sheer repulsiveness of the physical destruction of the east wing, but there is no way that a president should be allowed to use private money to change public property. It circumvents the power of the purse.

In Opinion

“The United States is cutting off the kind of foreign aid that keeps children alive for 12 cents a day, but it’s willing to invest far larger sums in a dubious effort to prop up a distant economy — while effectively subsidizing tycoons who made bad investments,” Nicholas Kristof writes.
Opinion | Trump Revives Foreign Aid, Helping Needy Billionaires
As children die for want of cheap medicines, the U.S. spends billions on Argentina — thus rescuing rich investors who made bad bets.

All the things folks pretended were happening in 2022-23 under Joe Biden are actually happening now under Donald Trump
Highest credit card delinquency since the financial crisis 14 years ago.

Add that to home sellers outnumbering homebuyers, consumer confiance plummeting, consumer spending plummeting, inflation increasing, growth decreasing unemployment increasing… a brewing storm.

Good economic news all around👍👍

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

take a moment to really think about how hard Democratic leaders have had to work to somehow be losing to Trump on the issue of corruption

It's pretty laughable to listen to the most Stalin-esque administration in the history of our Republic label government programs and other public servants "communist."

"...it’s hard for the administration to make accusations that workers are redundant, non-essential, or not carrying out its priorities when it doesn’t appear to have a transparent 'accounting of exactly who is in what position and what they’re doing.'”
CDC sent RIF notices, then pulled some back. The result is chaos, advocates and workers say
Roughly half of the reduction-in-force notices sent to CDC staff last week were rolled back, workers and advocates said. The error adds to existing administrative disorder.

By the time the MSPB resolves pending cases, many employees will have found other jobs. Most people cannot afford to remain out of work while their claims go through the system. And most won't want to leave those new jobs to return to an employer who has spent the last year making their life hell.

Many federal employees accept lower pay relative to the private sector in exchange for stability, an opportunity to serve the public, and a degree of autonomy. As those incentives are reduced, there are fewer reasons to remain or join the civil service.

Ultimately, I think this is the right question. The government is losing credibility as an employer. The private sector cannot absorb all federal jobs but those with the greatest expertise and experience will have less difficulty finding jobs--especially in fields like health care.
