When the political winds changed in November, D.E.I. programs became the convenient fall guy. “Trump, I believe, is doing something similar at a grand scale,” Jay Caspian Kang writes. nyer.cm/SD17mhU

Donald Trump started the D.E.I. program he now blames for the Washington, D.C. plane crash.

He doesn’t want you to know this. You should spread the word. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump's first-term tariffs hit US growth and newly-released transcripts from 2019 show Fed policymakers growing increasingly anxious about the impact on the US economy.

My latest @bloomberg.com Big Take with colleagues Catarina Saraiva and Brendan Murray.

The White House website no longer has a Spanish-language version. It has removed a disclaimer promising to make it accessible to people with disabilities. And a number of federal agencies have removed web pages related to reproductive rights and diversity.
Government webpages vanish under Trump, from DEI to reproductive rights
Some deletions are standard for any administration, but others seem to indicate Trump’s intent to reshape government.

Me wondering when it will dawn on Trump supporters that having billionaires and criminals running the country is a bad bad thing.

Um… this is not good. Not good at all.
Turner is one of the most pro-Ukraine, anti-Putin Republicans and as intelligence chair has access to the gritty details of what our adversaries are up to.

This is an intra-party purge in the service of opponents of our democracy — and a preview of what’s coming when Trump takes power in five days.

Special counsel Jack Smith said in a report released Tuesday that he stands behind his decision to bring criminal charges against Donald Trump and believes the Republican would have been convicted had he not won the 2024 presidential election.

Interesting…

Per Bloomberg, JD Vance said that protesters involved in the US Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021 who behaved violently should “obviously” not receive pardons.

What will Trump’s reaction be?
