The NYT story is a reminder that reporters w/ access to cabinet heads should ask questions that require them to choose between (a) owning controversial DOGE cuts as decisions they made themselves, or (b) blaming the cuts on DOGE, thus contradicting representations the government has made in court

The debt is so bad we have to fire military veteran park rangers but not so bad that we can’t add trillions to give Trump and Elon more money.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

This morning, I sent a letter to the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) regarding Elon Musk’s potential conflicts of interest.
Within minutes, the White House confirmed receipt.
By noon, President Trump fired the Director of OGE.
I want to know: Was this to prevent his answer?

That’s a profound, direct attack on the free press from the White House, and I haven’t heard a single newspaper publisher say boo about it.

Many people are asking me if Elon Musk is stealing tax-payer money or using our private information to enrich himself?
I’m a Member of Congress on the committee for Government Oversight and I can’t tell you that he’s not. That’s a problem.

Warren is the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee. Wyden is the same on the Senate Finance Committee. They need to go to the Treasury building with crews from CNN and NBC and demand to be let in. As soon as they're not, hold a press conference right there and explain what DOGE is doing.

“A Weak President”: Trump’s Chaos Strategy Implodes in Epic OMB Fiasco
As Trump backtracks on his funding freeze, the author of a new piece on his “chaos strategy” explains why this is already failing—and how it reveals him as both authoritarian and weak.

The President is asking rhetorical questions about what federal government aircraft was doing, as if there's someone else who is supposed to have the answer. This is his responsibility. If he doesn't even know the answers, it's because he and his unqualified appointees are incompetent.
“Commander in Chief” jumps to throw military crew under the bus before any details are known. Coward.
We no longer have a leader in the White House but a conman who’s #1 goal is always to dodge responsibility.
Next time a R or D says “respect the office” remind them the President himself doesn’t.
