"...at the same time the Department of Agriculture says it cannot spend its $6 billion in reserves to address the $8 billion needed for SNAP in November, the administration easily found $20 billion to prop up... Argentina."

We should just assume that all legal challenges which end up at the Supreme Court will be decided in Trump's favor. They no longer uphold the Constitution and neither do they recognize the separation of powers. They recognize only the power of the Presidency.

Once again, the Supreme Court dismantles the checks and balances contained within the constitution and hands power to the President making the position king-like.
Shame on John Roberts. Shame on this court.

Comey is the trial run. Once he is convicted by a court of Trump's choosing, Il Duce will go after ALL his 'enemies'. Will congress have the spine to stop him? Doubtful. And the Supreme Court in context to crown him king. Originalism apparently.

The headlines all state Trump changes his tone about Ukraine after meeting with Zelinsky. And next week, when he speaks to Putin, he'll parrot Russian talking points. He has no actual ideas of his own. He repeats whatever the last person he met with told him to say. #ukraine #trumpisanidiot

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:
