So uh apparently THIS is happening: the USDA is straight up defying judge’s orders so that they can continue preventing SNAP from going out: bsky.app/profile/juli...

Agreed.

I mean this country was screwed the minute the GOP gained a trifecta and there’s really nothing the Dems can do about that until the midterms.

Yeah, I’m very confused by the handwringing on this website right now.

“But fig, Trump can just refuse to implement that part of the law!” Ok and we can do this again in February and people can buckle down for it to the extent they’re able.

By this logic, though, if the Dems had managed to pass a bill that forced them to fire Vought, the GOP could rehire him the next day. When you’re trying to negotiate with a bad faith group, there’s nothing that can be trusted.

I just don’t understand the play here. What the GOP thinks they get out of this.

This is partly his own fault for being a vile creep and partly Trump’s fault for feeling the need to yell on social media and in interviews about his bestie Vought who loves firing people more than anything. Remember the cringe AI generated video Trump posted of Vought as the grim reaper?

Agreed, I feel like the very fact that reversing RIFs is one of their offers shows how incredibly far Vought has fallen out of favor.

Makes me think of how Pam Bondi was too afraid to perjure herself when asked under oath about incriminating pictures of Trump.

How was Ellison a predator?

Kind of glad you finally blocked that dude because wow was he obnoxious to read in your replies.

You’d almost think they’re trying to crater the economy but no, they’re just that stupid.

He says that in the clip?! (I hate watching him and the video doesn’t have subtitles)
