Horrifying. The 180º turn Trump has put America in, giving way to dictators, abandoning soft power initiatives that actually help people, and ceding the moral high ground by perpetrating authoritarian acts… it's just sad to see.

Never before have we had a President who is so inept at being informed, that he constantly says he's just hearing about (big) things happening *inside his own administration*.
Well, that's not entirely accurate. We had such a President from 2017-2021.

As DOGE and Trump claim to be rooting out govt waste, remember that the first Trump administration granted "church" status to the Family Research Council, allowing the nonprofit to shield its finances from public scrutiny.
It also can't be audited without ok from a high-level Treasury official.

Occasionally, CNN remembers that it is supposed to be a news organization:

And typically the "unelected bureaucrats" that Republicans complain about are ones that were actually appointed/confirmed/hired by elected officials, all of whom would be considered in the government structure.

“He doesn’t want you to notice the kleptocracy.”
Chris Murphy: "Why is Donald Trump engaged in this relentless campaign to try to silence journalists, media companies, and his political opposition? It's because he's trying to steal from you."
