The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Well over a thousand people marched through the streets of Santa Fe today to the State Capitol as part of this year’s Immigrant & Workers’ Day of Action. People came from all across New Mexico to demand legislators do all they can to protect our communities.

If Musk is able to successfully — and without repercussion! — wield law enforcement in this lawless power grab, we are pretty just past the event horizon on this. This is moving very, very fast.
Musk's cronies tried to to gain access to classified USAID data. USAID Director of Security John Voorhees security said no. The Musk people threatened to call in the US Marshals and take the data at gunpoint. They still said no.

It's evil, but let's be blunt: U.S. foreign aid was not born of compassion. It was born of the undeniable fact that the U.S. benefits from global stability and is endangered by global instability.
The Trump admin is putting cruelty ahead of our strategic interests.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
