Make no mistake, this is exactly what #TrumpAdministration is doing.

So here's what happened in today's Stupid Olympics.
There are two people named Dana White.
One is President and CEO of the UFC
The other is Dana W. White, who served as the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and Chief Pentagon Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Defense under Secretary James Mattis
Their pictures are below. He's the white guy. She's the Black woman. I'll call them UFC Dana and DOD Dana to make it easier for you.
Suzie Wiles, shortly before being replaced by Count Stephen Miller, advised Trump that his new Press Secretary should be Dana White.
And Trump in all his finite wisdom, immediately assumed the UFC Dana, who has never done anything to prepare him for press secretary, and not DOD Dana, whose entire career has been in preparation for that.
Now you might be saying, "Kelly, not everyone knows about DOD Dana. It's an honest mistake."
But he's NOT just "everyone." He's the President of the United States. And this is a man whose administration has been firing Black people, women, trans people, and so on, insisting that none of them got their job based on merit.
And then he's going to name someone completely unqualified to be Press Secretary because the President is a fan of the UFC.
And he didn't even think to ask anyone. It never even occurred to him to ponder whether UFC Dana is the person he should pick as Press Secretary.
Stupid and incurious are a dangerous combination, and this man is both of those things.
And that got me to thinking about the two Dan Sullivan in Alaska. And I get it now. The man who is too stupid to know the difference between two Dana Whites thinks Alaskans are too stupid to know the difference between two Dan Sullivans.

Totally normal and totally not an insane post by the President of the United States this morning

Apparently there’s a lady named Dana White who is an DoD public affairs assistant and I guarantee you someone recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC Dana White and nobody is allowed to correct him lol

I spent two years working with Stephen Miller.
His appointment as White House chief of staff is among the most dangerous personnel decisions in the history of our republic.
I say that without reservation.

Hold on, folks. Can we talk about Hakeem Jeffries for a second?
He spent four years in the minority with no gavel, no subpoenas, and no committee chairs. And he still got results. He forced the vote on the Epstein files, and it passed 427 to 1.
He forced a House vote on extending the ACA tax credits, with three Republicans signing his petition. He forced a vote to restore union rights for a million federal workers.
He helped get Ukraine aid through. And he ran months of war games to prepare for every dirty trick this regime might pull on the midterms.
Three days before the election he told a rally: “One of the first things we’re going to do is run Pete Hegseth out of town.” That doesn’t sound like a guy without a spine to me.
He’s said “accountability” in dozens of speeches. The subpoena power arrives January 3rd, and you’d better believe he plans to use it.
I get it. We’re all hungry for hearings. So am I. But responsible leaders don’t promise revenge on camera, they build cases that hold up.
Speaker Emerita Pelosi made the job look easy, because she was insanely good at it, and she is precisely who has showed him the ropes.
That job seems hard as hell to me, and that's probably why whenever "popular" Democrats are asked if they want it, they're like "Nope. And I will be voting for Leader Jeffries."
An overwhelming majority of Democratic members of Congress plan to back him as Speaker, but he hasn’t even been sworn in as Speaker yet. Let him do the job before we cut him off at the knees.
Republicans would LOVE it if Democrats did their dirty work for them, knocking out our FIRST Black Speaker of the House in history.
JFC, even the horrible, lying jackass Mike Johnson got TWO FULL YEARS, and he accomplished NOTHING for the American people.
Affordability. Accountability. That’s what the MAJORITY of voters asked for, and he’s laser-focused on both.
Give the man a chance.🙏💪

Confirmed --this really happened. They were not authorized to do it and the purpose is unclear.
Let this sink in: ICE agents reportedly blocked the emergency entrance of a Los Angeles hospital for TWO HOURS, forcing ambulances carrying people who needed emergency care to go elsewhere.
This isn’t law enforcement. This is a reckless abuse of power that put innocent people’s lives at risk.
An ambulance entrance is not a political battleground. A hospital emergency room is not an immigration checkpoint.
And federal agents do not get to hold an entire community’s access to emergency medical care hostage.
Imagine being in an ambulance, fighting for your life, only to be diverted because federal agents decided their operation mattered more than emergency access.
Where is the humanity? Where is the accountability? And where is the line that these agents are no longer allowed to cross?
You cannot claim to be protecting America while putting Americans’ lives in danger.
This isn’t making America great. It’s making America cruel. And anyone defending this should be ashamed.

Dozens or hundreds of books and films about Lee Harvey Oswald, yet we never seem to hear any more at all about these Trump “assassins”. They just disappear.

Trump boards Bribe Force One and is followed by First Lady Natalie Harp, Stephen Miller, and Marco Rubio

So with Stephen Miller, Trump has officially moved into the Bunker Stage of his Reich

Trump naming Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff tells you they’ve learned fucking nothing about why they lost.
Jackie retweeted
Let’s be clear: Trump’s decision to elevate Stephen Miller to Chief of Staff is a deliberate doubling down on the very agenda that just cost Republicans their biggest electoral defeat in 50 years.
Jackie retweeted
Trump making Stephen Miller Chief of Staff is a giant FU to the entire country that just voted against their barbarism, cruelty and hate. It’s also a sign that in spite of what he said he has zero interest in moderating or working with Democrats to deliver for the people.

it's notable that Melania Trump treats the war in Ukraine as though it's a natural disaster that just happened to Ukraine and Russia, not a genocidal war of aggression launched by Putin against Ukraine

Trump won't rest until he turns every red state blue. Tennessee appears to be next 😆

Q: Fighting crime is certainly a noble thing and you talk a great game, but how do you reconcile that with the fact that on this first day back in office, President Trump pardoned 1,500 people who rioted at the Capitol on January 6, and almost 100 of those people subsequently committed crimes, including weapons violations, sexual assault, and sexual assaults of children. Letting people out of federal prison who have subsequently committed all these crimes -- isn’t that a part of public safety as well?
BLANCHE: So the power to pardon is not something that's given to me. Our Constitution gives it to the president.

Pritzker: "The rising cost of everything at the grocery store and gas pump, all of that, JD was out there promoting. And he was out actually sticking for Vivek Ramaswamy's terrible ad attacking a woman who had been raped when she was 12 years old. He has a lot to answer for. I don't think he can run from what he's been, which has been a MAGA loyalist and bootlicker for Donald Trump."
