Can we dispense with this “unfounded claims” shit finally?

He lies, pathologically.

Whoa! Trump appointed judge, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, has temporarily blocked the loathsome piece of shit from placing 2,200 USAID employees on administrative leave. It's a big win, but it's only temporary. The USAID employees would have lost their jobs tonight. 😳

The #BrokenPost naively turns this into a what-you-can-do service story but there's nothing individuals can do in the face of such a force. That's what we need journalism for.
