This was prevented by the post-Watergate legislation: lobbying, campaign finance, foreign interference, the budget. On the watchtowers, we fell asleep. The lawyers and lobbyists burrowed and darted from shadow to shadow. The rich man's money won out. Every reform was undermined or gone.

remarkable that the White House cannot just say that Putin is responsible for Putin's war
DOOCY: Who does Trump think is more responsible for Ukraine? Putin or Zelenskyy?
WALTZ: Well look, his goal Peter is to bring this war to an end. Period.

If Patel’s confirmation scares you and you’re worried about the FBI being used to wage war and terrorize American citizens, just ask Black people for advice, they’ve been dealing with it for decades

The phrase you see online from non-white people is: White people can stop this anytime they want.
And you really can.
There are enough non republican white people to put an end to this mess.
To be clear I’m not advocating violence of any sort.
I am advocating shutting down.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

From @stephaniekelton.bsky.social : “The ‘national debt’ is just a historical record of $ spent by 🇺🇸 and not taxed away from us…”

I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.

I’m a Trump biographer and a Musk biographer.
And I’m telling you...the latter is harder.
Elon does more abominable things daily than Trump. By a lot. He’s a firehose of horror, and I’m finding it extremely hard to keep up with his malevolence.
He’s truly the worst person I’ve ever written about.

One of the great questions starting Jan 21 is how will Elon and Donald communicate?
Trump is all phone. Nothing in writing.
Elon isn't going to take 10+ calls a day.
I wouldn't be surprised if more than half their communications are via posts on Truth Social and X
Literally.

In case anyone was wondering why the tinkle tape traitor woke up with a Panamanian bug up his ass seemingly out of the clear blue sky…
This is why:
Because he’s being investigated for tax evasion in Panama.
Who’s shocked?
