The flaw our Founders failed to address is what to do when a president seeks to dismember the corpus of agencies that have come into Being by acts of Congress.

God I miss the investigative journalism of the NYT, Washington Post, e.g. Pentagon Papers, Watergate;* but also Indy’s like Seymour Hersh who informed U.S. of the My Lai Massacre.

*In September1972 was sure of 2 things: Watergate went to the Top, & it would quickly be swept under the rug.
@nytimes.com In Nebraska, in 1980, we had a co-op that picked up a stack of NYT at the airport and delivered it to members. In 1990, we used to drive two hours to Grand Rapids to get the NYT for our faculty retreat. Until recently, we read it every day. Now I leave you, in sadness and anger.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

Unless

VOTE!!!
Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.

They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.

They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.

There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

Republicans miscalculated believing that the Democrats would take whatever was offered and roll over like they did in March.
After which most Dems learned the lesson,
'Fool me once shame on you;
Fool me twice shame on me!'

IN 1939 Hitler instituted Aktion T4, a program designed to rid Germany of
Lebensunwertes Leben,
Life Unworthy of Life by forced euthanasia of those found to be physically or mentally not adding value to, but taking from the German state.
By 1945 btw 200K to 500K murdered…

“Trump’s use of social media has always been disturbing and bizarre, even if it feels like things have gotten worse over time. Now, however, he’s remaking government social media accounts in his own deranged image.”

"Now you see Trump administration accounts that look like they’re literally run by Groypers. What Homeland Security is tweeting out isn’t even dog-whistling anymore."

As SCOTUS has held that every breath taken by POTUS is an “Official Act,” Trump himself will never be held to accout!
Best we can hope is that those who follow Trump’s illegal orders meet Lady Justice.

A reply congruent with my memory, funny how facts work:

“…remembering the nephew's interview where he essentially said dear leader asked him why didn't he just let his son die instead of wasting money on him..so much empathy..hasn't changed either...”

Remember when we shared a common set of facts?
You’ve gotta understand this is the same Donald Trump who withheld healthcare from his nephew’s disabled son as tactic to punish nephew for filing an inheritance claim…
Except this time its 42 Million Americans going hungry, even as BBB cut $Billion$ for Food!
