"Just since Donald Trump’s election, Musk’s personal net worth has grown by far more than the entire annual budget of U.S.A.I.D., which in any case accounts for less than 1 percent of the federal budget."

Trump and Musk just decided to shut down a government organization, and more than 600 workers were locked out of their accounts.
That's not how this works, but when regular people comply with illegal and illegitimate orders, it happens anyway.

We can no longer call this anything but a concentration camp. Gitmo was problematic before, but now?...
A reminder: the GWBush Admin built a prison at Gitmo not because of its size or facilities, but on the theory that because it was not in the US, US laws would not apply, and because US didn't recognize Cuban sovereignty over it Cuban law didn't either. It's a stateless, lawless zone of impunity.
Trump: Today I'm also signing an executive order to instruct the departments of defense and homeland security to begin preparing the 30,000 person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

A dangerous bill sanctioning anyone who works with the International Criminal Court is moving quickly through Congress.
H.R. 23 would harshly punish lawyers, academics, and rights advocates — and their family members — for helping the ICC pursue justice for war crimes and other atrocities.

Something to think about with the Ross Ulbricht pardon. The feds are still sitting on $6.5 billion in bitcoin seized from silk road. If Trump gives it back to Ulbricht, he could easily pay back Trump by trading it for Trump coin. A potential bribe of millions or billions of dollars for a pardon.

Corruption - 3 Ohio Republican men at dinner; 2 get convicted, 1 gets appointed to the US Senate
🚨 A truly stunning thing happened yesterday.
Timing so perfect that I wouldn’t dare put it in one of my novels, because no one would believe it.

Most men in romance novels respect boundaries, wash their balls, make sure she comes first, care about their children, are emotionally intelligent, and loyal to their relationship.
And then men make fun of women reading "fluff novels."
Because apparently those are unreasonable things to yearn for?
