“Fired for no reason”: Former immigration judges speak out against Trump’s assault on the courts

Voters next year will get to decide whether they want the House doing oversight on the current government of the US, which is cesspool of corruption and conflicts of interest, or continue to ignore that for the next 3 years to continue a decade of Biden investigations.

BBB both grows the deficit and cuts food for poor kids
Jong-Fast: This would be the largest cut to food assistance in US history—and it will result in hungry kids.
It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t want—starve children and grow the deficit—but it does.

So, Trump is being found to have broken the law on average once every four days, and MAGA Twitter wants you to believe this is all lawfare from activist judges.
There’s really no amount of pretzel logic that is too much for these people.

That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

in terms of the new EO putting DOGE into every agency, this:
Illegal! only Congress can create a new agency.
And it has to have a charter, objectives, manpower study, building, job descriptions… etc to get a budget.
Then it has to open up jobs on USAJobs for all citizens to apply at that new agency. Maybe a two to three year process fast track.
