I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always. -Mahatma Gandhi

It's incredibly sad to hear hundreds of EPA staff are being fired today without cause, without due process, and with disregard to the impacts for public health and the environment. It's too early to know the specifics but a random walk through EPA press releases shows the important work at stake:

Some other reports say that agencies have a hard deadline of Tuesday at 8PM to fire probationary employees. Some agencies affected by the “purge” so far includes USDA, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Department of Energy, Veterans Affairs, Department of Education, and OPM itself. (Not and exhaustive list).
