Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

Kristi Noem is living free of charge in Coast Guard commandant’s home

1/Trump’s Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, seems interested in making women 2nd class citizens. A tweet he posted late last week isn’t getting nearly enough attention. In any other administration, there would have been swift calls for his resignation. Here, mostly crickets.

The “investigations” into James and Schiff are patently bogus and retaliatory but in hands as dirty as Ed Martin’s they could prove costly to fend off. Trump and Bondi are acting like a tin pot dictator and his consigliere. All so predictable and utterly pathetic

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

OK, time to bust another @USAID myth.
Stephen Miller said on Fox today that USAID is a rogue slush fund. Trump & Elon have made the same accusation.
FALSE. They're either ignorant of how USAID spends money, or willfully lying about it. Or...
Anyway, caffeinate and read on.
