As daily news rolls in, 15 yr old son who does not enjoy school said to me "Wow, I'm really understanding what I'm learning in AP Government." Understanding representation democracy and separation of powers is no longer theoretical / academic only. Silver lining.....

~Americans don’t understand how the fall of democracy happens slowly, and then all at once. I know this is long, but it’s a good read.

This went under the radar. Trump signed executive order making it legal for American companies to bribe foreign officials to get favorable business opportunities in other countries.

Dear Elon:
How much money did it cost the feds to raid the Mexican bakery in my town of Midland, Texas, to target 13 men and women who work 12 hours a day and never had any criminal history in our country. How much to process and send them home? Is that efficient?

NEW: Six times since yesterday, a judge has blocked a component of Trump's early-term policy blitz, saying it appeared to run afoul of the law or constitution.

The clashes are beginning to define the first chapter of the Trump presidency.

"While Biden trampled on it." The Biden DOJ prosecuted Sen. Menendez (D-NJ), Rep. Cueller (D-TX), and refused to prosecute Matt Gaetz (R-FL). Meanwhile, Mike Johnson was the architect of Trump's effort to undermine Biden's 2020 win, culminating into an insurrection at the Capitol.

Pure projection.

Trump claimed that DOGE has uncovered billions in “fraud, waste, and abuse.” However, no evidence has been provided, and all public fraud claims from both Elon Musk and Trump have been debunked as false.

And when they don't comply and are held in contempt, then what? Are they going to be served subpoenas they'll ignore? Are the US Marshals going to go apprehend them and throw them in jail? Wonder what the game plan is here.

Trump's billionaire donors already pay a lower effective tax rate than the rest of us. Now they want to take away our healthcare to fund their tax cuts?

Fuck that BS! Hands off our Medicaid!

A great article on the importance of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in U.S. weather forecasts. Note also there is a video included with comments from Neil Jacobs, who has been nominated to oversee NOAA. 🧪

Steve Bannon just pleaded guilty to fraud.

Isn’t it curious how there’s always concrete and abundant evidence of fraud when it involves someone affiliated with MAGA, yet there’s never any proof when MAGA makes accusations against others?

Trump's presidency is a Golden Era — for corruption.

He fired independent watchdogs who investigate waste, fraud, and illegal activity.

He fired the top whistleblower protection official.

He fired the top government ethics official. 1/2
