A week after The Washington Post purges its environmental reporting, its ed board reaches an ignorant, humiliating new low in editorials:

The Trump EPA is right not to uphold the Clean Air Act because it should ask Congress to pass a new Clean Air Act. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... 1/
Opinion | EPA is right to reverse Obama overreach
If the federal government wants to more heavily regulate greenhouse gas emissions, Congress needs to pass a new law.

Of course they declined to indict, because there was no crime.
BREAKING: @carolleonnig.bsky.social reports a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. declined to indict Sens. Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin on charges of seditious conspiracy Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the proceedings.

This is a policy choice.
The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs.

This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."

Rep. Walkinshaw on Trump: “He could rule out clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell, the monster. He could rule out a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, the monster. The question for all of us today is: Why hasn't he done that, and why won't he do that?”

This is gut-wrenching!
Really, America?! Is this who we are now?
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) reacted to Trump personal attorney-turned Deputy AG Todd Blanche discussing the DOJ's intention to appeal the judges decision releasing Liam Ramos.

"Why is the Trump Administration fighting harder to arrest 5-year-old children than pedophiles in the Epstein files?" he posted

The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.

😢 Internment camps 2.0
“Late Friday night, the Fifth Circuit adopted the extreme minority view—that the government can indefinitely detain without bond millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety.”
208. The Fifth Circuit Jumps the Immigration Detention Shark
Late Friday, two of the nation's most right-wing circuit judges adopted an odious legal claim that district court judges from across the country (and ideological spectrum) have overwhelmingly rejected

They’re deporting US Army veterans.

They say if they’re undocumented, they must go.

Such a selfish group of human beings.

They consider undocumented immigrants “good enough” to go to war and possibly die for the country, but not good enough to avoid deportation.

Ghouls.

We deserve so much better than this.
It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.
