What kind of a ghost writers market will there be for tales from those leaving the Trump regime? Catch and kill / wingnut welfare opportunities? Will there be journalists flogging insider books that get any traction?

Training cannot correct for lack of vetting and unsuitability for a position of public trust
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Trump vs Leonard Leo. Who coulda knowed. Where will the Supremes place their faith?
Trump: "The people heading up the lawsuit - like this guy named Leonard Leo, he's a bad guy - people that are very China-oriented & foreign car-oriented. They're suing to get rid of tariffs! Like Coke. Coke has businesses outside the US. If you have 'em outside, you don't want tariffs"

So what did 60 Minutes replace the CECOT story with?

First, a report on Sherpas risking their lives to help climbers reach Everest's summit. Then, the Kanneh-Masons: Meet the musical siblings.

I am not sure how effective a resignation is in defeating a bad policy, but I am sure a quiet resignation does less. I hope Holsey will voice his concerns.
Adm Holsey retires today.
"It’s an almost incredibly honorable course of conduct for Holsey to have declined to capitulate to Hegseth’s bullying & instead to honor his oath to the Constitution by quietly giving up the job most Naval officers can only dream about."

Yes this is vile, but I quibble. Is any Congressman not "in good standing"? What constitutes good or not good standing for members of congress?
A sitting Republican Congressman in good standing said this, tweeted it out from his own account, and not a peep of outrage.
Imagine if he had said this about any other religious group. Why would it be tolerated? Why is this condoned?

Colbert Report truthyness being taken seriously has metastasized into Dunning-Kruger News being a news source for the President.
With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

There is nothing in the Constitution that guarantees a right to eat food. So it's hard to understand why the Democrat Party thinks the SNAP issue is a political winner.

Hard to imagine anything more on brand than Elon Musk creating a racist Wikipedia clone.
Grokipedia is racist, transphobic, and loves Elon Musk

Maybe we should have them report regularly on their efforts to get work in order to get their pay and benefits.
Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218.
Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.
These are the people who demand Work Requirements.😐
