MAGA, even you are betrayed. The promised tariffs will cost you at the pump and at the grocery tomorrow, if not today. The tax proposals in congress COST YOU MONEY, and give relief to the millionaires. ACT - you are screwed with the rest of us.

Federal Marshals - you are getting orders to aid and abet a criminal enterprise (DOGE). It is your time, now, to decide who you work for and if your orders are legitimate.

Act! Sue! LEAD. Protest! Gather the people. Police - unauthorized agents are in the Treasury, in USAID. Theft is in progress. Act! Arrest and detain these criminals. Civil service, you are the bulwark currently under attack. Resist. Stay in your offices. Resist.

The potential for destruction and thievery here boggles my mind.
This ought to be the signal, already, now, for clogging the streets in Washington. Congress should be sending agents of the FBI to remove the DOGE operators from the offices.
This is bad, really bad, folks.

(which hits me where I live, month to month), all payments issued through Treasury are now in executive, essentially private hands.
In a word, DOGE, which is solely Elon Musk, has laid siege to and taken over the US Treasury department.

The report is that DOGE, a completely rogue invention of the President, has taken over Treasury disbursements. This is how the Federal government pays out obligations. Medicaid, Medicare (which writes check for my bills), Social Security

Per the just resigned head of Treasury, agents for Elon Musk, now DOGE, have required and gained access to the Treasury department payout systems. Under protest from staff, they have brought in their own DOGE servers, locked staff out of their usual accesses and work.

Mr. Trump per his comments wants to condition the national response in California on his politics - a fictional water solution somewhere in his well fed imagination and with the politics of voter restrictions in state policy.

A state can't keep that sort of resource in reserve. What you get in terms of ongoing assistance is complicated. What you don't get from FEMA is a litany of abuse and fraud. Real help, eventually, gets where it is needed.

My damage was very slight, which meant waiting for FEMA, weeks and months later, wasn't the way to get it done.

FEMA is fast on the scene, non-partisan (which Trump doesn't like - listen to him politicise aid to California), and then slow. I've experienced a small taste of FEMA back when Milwaukee had a 6" rain event that affected my neighborhood.

She says in effect she was wrong to participate, she plead guilty before an impartial judge, and it would be wrong to accept the pardon - negate her pennance, as it were. Good for you, Ms. Hemphill, and thank you for your honesty and forthright stance.

Quote the Sandman, "Hope never dies." My hope is quite thin, though. Will 47 take the blame if it goes south, either Sunday or 60 days out (in March) when it IS all on his 'watch'?

nothing to do with these chances for success or failure in Gaza.
The atrocity tonight is that it's all - still - on the brink. So many of us hope it will take hold on Sunday, and that once in place it will lead to Phase 2 and Phase 3 in a timely and reasonable way.
