New in PN: Linda McMahon is much worse than you think
"Trump’s plan to dismantle the DoE will be central to Dems’ questions during McMahon’s confirmation hearing. There is, however, another reason that she shouldn’t be anywhere near the cabinet."

98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule

To be clear, it's not a mistake that grants to train special ed teachers were cancelled. MAGA absolutely considers those to be verboten "DEI," and Silicon Valley considers them contrary to their eugenics project.

🚨NEWS: The Lever has unearthed a White House memo from John Roberts saying that presidents may not fire appointees at independent federal agencies.
Trump's DOJ just announced it will ask the Supreme Court to authorize a firing spree - setting up a showdown.

Trump’s Purge vs. Roberts’ Memo
A document written by the chief justice may complicate the DOJ’s new push to get the high court to bless the president’s firings.

As an elderly veteran, I just received a call telling me the housing program I'm in is frozen and will now cost me $550 a month.
I also receive military retirement and social security retirement, which are also likely at risk. Oh almost forgot SNAP and Heap and Medicaid.

Now Trump’s people are saying the Medicare portal downs are “an outage.” Bullshit.
Karoline Leavitt was a Newsmax conspiracy theorist until last week and now because she has an Official job journalists repeat what she's saying as if it's true, giving her credibility. This is the main function of state media
Bullshit. The public backlash is just too much to handle.
Some might be asking if they are either liars or incompetent. They are both.
