“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.”

No biggie. This man is temporarily in charge of, and Trump wants to put him permanently in charge of, one of the two United States Attorney’s offices that handle the most national-security matters.

Disgusting!
The White House moved the official portrait of former President Barack Obama to a new location in the East Room, replacing it with a painting of President Donald Trump with his fist raised in the air right after last year's assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The new Trump painting takes a spot traditionally reserved for the most recent official presidential portrait.

Yes, in a perfect world, the cautious, reasonable middle would be a great spot.
But, this isn't a perfect world.
Sometimes diplomacy enables the predators.
Sometimes silence is participation.
Sometimes the fence is the seat of the coward.

Right, because Grandma is on X.

This is corruption, plain and simple.

SCOOP: The Social Security Administration (SSA) will be shifting its public communication exclusively to X, sources tell WIRED. This comes as agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent.

Trump and DOGE have fired 25,000 federal workers so far.

Now Trump and DOGE have to hire them back thanks to court orders.

Most workers have been placed on administrative leave — technically rehired and paid, but still unable to do vital work in our communities.

"Efficiency."

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.
