I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is.

This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

First, they came for John Bolton
And I did speak out
Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache,
I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.

War is still raging in Ukraine. Measles outbreak. US cities under siege. Gas, coffee, grocery prices are all up. No tax on tips. Value of the US dollar down. Radioactive shrimp? Millions thrown off health insurance while the plague makes a comeback... And still no Epstein files.

NOW: Pete Hegseth just amplified a preacher who thinks women shouldn’t be allowed to VOTE. 

This from the man who commands thousands of women in uniform from his Pentagon office.

Is he drunk?

"Trump also seeks political control over agencies that have long operated at arm’s length from the White House, like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Federal Reserve. That, too, has echoes of China where the bureaucracy is fully subordinate to the ruling party..."

Let's focus on qualifications: Antoni finished grad school 5 years ago at Northern Illinois with no distinction. Dissertation: No focus on labor or data collection. Zero publications. One lifetime citation (by a former colleague).

This record would not earn you a job as junior economist at BLS.
Trump's nominee for BLS commissioner, EJ Antoni, is disastrously terrible. He's a 1200%, 1300% maybe 1400% in-the-tank Trumper, with few credentials beyond a history of misrepresenting or misunderstanding economic statistics. He has shown no commitment to truth

If you think same sex marriage is safe, consider that in his Dobbs concurrence, Justice Alito wrote

“we should reconsider..Obergefell. Because any substantive due process decision is ‘demonstrably erroneous,’..we have a duty to ‘correct the error’..overruling these demonstrably erroneous decisions”

Sending the National Guard into DC because of crime -- when crime is down 25% -- is simply abuse of power to DISTRACT FROM EPSTEIN.

And where was the National Guard on Jan 6 when we truly had a crisis?

Obergefell v. Hodges made me believe in the whole "arc of history bends towards justice." In the 90s, I didn't think gay marriage would be legalized in my lifetime because homophobia was so deeply ingrained. We would have never gotten here without the decision and now it may be overturned.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced today that it will begin phasing out its operations, following Congress’s recent decision to revoke previously allocated federal funding. CPB said it is initiating an “orderly wind-down” after nearly six decades.

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans.

Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.
