Seriously? This banner is at the top of cms.gov (and I assume other federal sites right now).
Unless I'm missing something, this is a pretty obvious violation of the Hatch act, no?

So DHS chases a guy onto private property, refuses to show id or a warrant while forcing themselves in, and arrests employees for "assault" for refusing entry. No probable cause, no warrant, just profiling.
Staff calls 911, and the Ontario CA PD does... nothing. And their "statement" is horseshit.

How did I miss this way back in 2017? The UK Sunday Herald's TV listing for the Trump inauguration casts it as a Twilight Zone episode featuring an implausible alternate history.

I have been trying to dig up this image for a while, as it seems more apropos than ever.
It perfectly captures what we're living now; the sheer incompetence and idiocy. Trump would certainly hate it, so please share broadly!

Are we ever going to stop listening to Murkowski (or Collins) when they performatively hand-wring over the awful bills she's asked to vote on, then always fall into line with the party in the end?
Just listened to her on a podcast sounding thoughtful and reasonable, but she's clearly full of shit.

I just learned about the turn-of-the-century "Doves Type" font, and it's brilliant: typespec.co.uk/doves-type/
Its history is even more fascinating: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGv7...

"Mikkelsen said that he was detained [for hours at Newark], interrogated about terrorism and drug trafficking, and sent home to Norway because [they] discovered [a Vance meme] on his phone, [threatening] him with a hefty fine or jail time if he didn’t give them access to the device."

Seeing this fool stand up in front of a podium unaware (and uncaring) of the havoc his regime is wreaking, while we're all aware of the ghouls pulling the strings...
All I could think was "This is like a really dark sequel to Weekend at Bernie's".
(Yes, it's AI slop, but I couldn't help myself)

My grandfather, Fred Dingler, just before going off to fight in WWII. He was a tail-gunner on a B-17, shot down over Germany in 1944, and spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft IV in Poland.
He hated Nazis and autocrats, and if he were around to see the regime today, he'd have been frothing mad!
