Trump cares only about protecting himself and the perpetrators. That’s why they’ve ignored the survivors since the beginning.
With each accommodation this administration makes for Ghislaine Maxwell, it retraumatizes the victims and minimizes the harm she caused. And we're supposed to believe that these are the people who are super concerned with pedophelia and sex trafficking? Are MAGA supporters still buying this shit?

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire.

It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

Tillis caved. Emil Bove’s confirmation is Trump’s fortress move in plain sight...loyalty over law, immunity over justice. Every GOP ‘yes’ vote is a brick in the wall against accountability.

Opinion | This was Thom Tillis’ moment. He did not meet it.
The North Carolina senator has talked a lot about higher principles lately. And yet his vote to confirm Emil Bove demonstrates just how comfortable he still is taking the easy way out.

"This is a nail in the coffin." Fmr. FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissman describes what Emil Bove's confirmation to the Third Circuit says about the United States' system of checks and balances. "The amount of proof as to why he is unfit is sort of overwhelming."

The confirmation of Emil Bove to the 3rd Circuit is a direct assault on the integrity of our justice system.

A former Trump lawyer, Bove ordered a 15-year DOJ veteran to lie to a federal judge — then helped fire him for refusing.

Now he’s a judge. Corruption in action.

This is why the Bove seat was vacant, and there’s a real throughline from the forces that defeated the previous Democratic nominee to where we are today.

Bove himself is a literal criminal. A man whose short time in the public eye is defined by his open contempt for the law and those responsible for enforcing it. And the only reason he was nominated is because of his slavish devotion to the president’s most lawless impulses.

📌Today alone, Republicans confirmed a complete slime ball and crook, Emil Bove, to a lifetime appointment on the court, opened the door to corporate pollution of our air and water, and worked tirelessly to shield pedophiles.
We are being governed by completely hideous people.

There’s a brand of political thinker (call them “normie optimists”) that reflexively treats this all as ephemeral.

“Just wait for the midterms. Focus on the right messaging and win those swing districts.”

I just want to stare at them and say “Emil Bove has been confirmed to a lifetime judgeship.”

Emil Bove's confirmation was only possible because Democrats caved to a vile right-wing smear campaign of Adeel Mangi, who would have been the first Muslim appeals court judge, when Biden nominated him for the same seat last year. Absolutely disgraceful. Bove's confirmation is on them, too.

I am available for the Supreme Court.
If we survive this, there is going to be a real push from liberals for the next Democrat in the Oval to go scorched earth and simply nominate the most ardently ideological, brazenly partisan judges.

Not even offer up a fig leaf of bipartisanship. Just ram through whoever you want, at any cost.
