Zero posts about Rick Scott committing the largest Medicare fraud in this country's history - and he's not behind bars, he's in public office.

I’ve seen thousands of posts about welfare fraud from right-wingers on social media, which should be prosecuted if people committed crimes, but zero posts about the dozens of wealthy rich fraudsters who stole billions from thousands of people who have been pardoned by Trump.

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.

It's all self-soothing, but I'll never get over how Walz was forced to back down on "weird," which would have been a fine way to expose a freaky husk like Vance who'd sell out anyone for power.

Whenever you hear that the media is trying “to win back the trust” of people, you know they’re just talking about right-wing fucknuts who can’t stand being told that what they believe is a lie. So that means the media outlet is gonna soothe them with more lies.

"Indeed, Trump's National Security 'Strategy' is entirely consistent with the goals of both Putin’s Russia and China’s authoritarian regime, both of which have long viewed the weakening of the Western alliance as a key part of their effort to displace the US as the leading power in the world."

The primary long-term foreign policy goal of Putin for decades has been to separate the US from a united Europe militarily, economically, & diplomatically, breaking up NATO in the process. This Trump admin is what he’s been waiting for, but he would love a Vance admin even more.

Sooooo do you think his name on the John F. Kennedy Center gets it's own Secret Service protection or do they just hope no one runs up & pees on it or throws poop on it or just flat out tears it off the building? Or do they believe it'll still be there in the new year?

Anyone who spends a lot of time at young conservative conferences can tell you this is fairly common. Or who goes to a happy hour in D.C. for AEI, Heritage or any of the other big conservative think tanks.

Very much reads like they are significantly reducing the influence of peer review on scientific funding, which under the current regime opens the way for more politicized funding instead.
NSF now planning to let POs largely decide what gets funded, and to send PIs reviews that are only 3-5 sentences long. They don't have to use outside reviewers (except maybe 1) and don't have to convene panels. (1/5)

That’s trump’s MO, always has been.

Better to ask forgiveness than permission.

Except he doesn’t bother with the ‘ask forgiveness’ part, he just destroys stuff.

Hell, even when he promises not to, he destroys stuff.

They don’t need to worry too much if they don’t get all of their states to gerrymander because they already have the backup plan to just refuse to leave the White House. These are Plan A and Plan B and either option is fine with them.

This illustrates a problem Democrats have in the post-Citizens United system: there are always some Democratic office holders who need to raise money (lots of it), and so a small subset often will take a dive on a particular issue, since appeasing that constituency is how they raise money. 1/x
