The Trump administration won’t enforce one of the country’s strongest anti-bribery and corruption laws for at least the next six months, a radical departure that could devastate the international fight against corruption.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism.
So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

I don’t worry my teen and young adult kids will open the door to a stranger. If the doorbell rings it does not occur to them to think about answering or looking, even if they are the only ones in the house, unless they are expecting DoorDash. A doorbell is something that’s happening to other people.

She was someone I really believed would do the right thing. What a disappointment she turned out to be.
Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa announced on a local news radio show on Tuesday that she would vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as the next secretary of defense.
Her decision dramatically increases the likelihood that Hegseth will have enough votes to be confirmed by the Senate.

In the end, MAGA decided to “troll the libs” by putting pedophiles and rapists into positions of real power. Their supporters don’t care because they don’t have any ethics or morality or logic. All that they have is hate.

Donald Trump, Convicted Felon
It’s fair to worry that there are four justices who will basically give Trump an absolute Get Out of Any Jail Card. But since I choose to be of cheery disposition on this snowy Friday, I say we take the win.

Shit...I need popcorn.
The House will need to elect its speaker before Congress can swear in new members and certify Donald Trump as the winner of the 2024 presidential election. Last time, it took four days and 15 votes. Here’s how it works.
