Theatre historian, administrator, Midwest Maven, mom, dog mom, wife, witchy, some may say wise.

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

It continues. It’s
The White House late Friday fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies in a purge that could clear the way for President Donald Trump to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste and abuse in the government.
Trump ousts at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge
The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.

These people will not storm the Capital building. They will not assault police officers or hang gallows for bureaucrats. They respect the peaceful transfer of power.
Anyone who says the two parties are the same are blatantly wrong. They are not, we are not.

Minnesota Republicans are attempting to hijack the state legislature—holding a sham election after the House was adjourned.
These assaults on democracy by the GOP are a new normal. Let's fight back, from the state house to the White House.

Dear god, someone make him stop the capitalizing-for-emphasis crap. I can’t listen to him speak, and it’s almost as bad reading his poorly written releases, whether authored by him or not.
In this one Trump nominates ambassador to Denmark and also demands Denmark throw in Greenland as a sweetener.
