This is a crisis. A legal and constitutional crisis of a sort seen only a few times in this country’s history.
Trump’s A.G. Just Did Something So Corrupt She Should Be Fired Already
Note to right-wing “media” and all you fantasists who believe them: This is what judicial sleaze actually looks like.

RFK2 and Patel are going to be confirmed despite both being obvious lunatics, both lying to their committees and both being hilariously unqualified. Because GOP senators are a bunch of -- to use their vernacular -- beta cucks who refuse to exercise the power they were elected to.
If this whistleblower report is true, Patel has been directing the attempted FBI purge before he has been confirmed. He then brazenly lied about it all at his confirmation hearings. Two big, honking crimes before day one. I'd be shocked if the Senate doesn't confirm him, anyway.
Durbin accuses Patel of ordering FBI firings before his confirmation as FBI director and lying about it
Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin said he has "highly credible information" that Patel is behind the firings at the FBI, though he is not yet the FBI director.

Separation of church and state is moot, right??
Keep an eye on the so-called “school choice” moves happening around the country. The segregationist impulse behind choice initiatives remains strong, and the weird carve-out with tax dollars remains super weird. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Texas may allow families to pay for private schools with public funds
School voucher bill likely to benefit wealthier families, allowing $10,000 of taxpayer dollars per student per year

Update: Lewin was the one who gave the direct order to take down the USAID site, per internal chats I reviewed. Initial reporting had him at CFPB and GSA. He's a powerful player.
SCOOP: Earlier reports about DOGE staffer Jeremy Lewin included no details about who he is. But @jsweetli.bsky.social found he appears to be lawyer who worked at Usha Vance's former law firm & as a Harvard Law research assistant to constitutional scholar Laurence Tribe.

This is what Musk and Trump and all those idiots want. Cause it's the only way they feel respect. To beat everyone else from it
A document trove reviewed by Turning Point Memo “reveals SACR’s core mission: to create a mini-state w/in a state, composed entirely of Protestant, Catholic, & Orthodox Christian men.” (SACR partners w/ New Founding, which is backed by Musk ally Mark Andreessen, a “network state”investor.) 1/

What is, say, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center supposed to do with this?
Our latest scoop: An internal email obtained by WIRED shows that NOAA workers received orders to pause all work with 'foreign nationals.'

I love how my apartment building gets sold and no one in the building finds out until the new owner texts us. So now I have the uncertainty of what my rent will be. I do not have a lease with the new landlord yet and I am scheduled to pay rent Monday Feb 3rd. I need something in writing.

This is desperate. And shame on anyone who doesn't immediately see right through it. $100 bucks says Trump already knows how his Administration is a fault and is pulling any stunt he can think of to keep the focus on his antics instead of the crash.
