As Donald Trump befouls the DOJ alongside his criminal defense counsel and the woman who oversaw Epstein’s slap on the wrist, I’d like to offer a hearty fuck you to all the shills who told me to “trust Merrick Garland.”

Trump’s Oval Office makeover just keeps getting tackier.
Now, he’s attached gold junk to the fireplace mantle—because apparently, nothing is safe from his gaudy obsession.
Portraits, tacky gold fixtures, and zero taste. Absolutely sickening.

Fox manufactured a misinformation feedback loop to legitimize EPA admin Lee Zeldin’s climate rollbacks. He’s made 22 cable news appearances since his confirmation — 21 on Fox — where his claims go unchallenged, get repeated, and become network consensus. mediamatters.org/fox-news/ho…

Ask yourself who benefits from ending @FBI background checks for new/prospective employees
The American people? No
Our government? No
The only people who benefit are those with conflicts of interest or criminal histories seeking a government job.
Why is the WH helping them?
White House orders halt to FBI background checks.
The procedure typically involves extensive interviews as well as a review of financial records, foreign contacts, past employment, and any potential security risks. abcnews.go.com/Politics/whit…

Sweden likely to follow suit. Others, too. Other European nations and ANZACs all reflecting on the current Chaos in the Oval Office and replanning military purchasing.
THIS will hurt the USA, especially Lockheed Martin and Northrup-Grumman.

Again, Marco Rubio signaled straight out on Twitter that the administration is going to simply ignore Congressional spending directives that Trump and Musk don't like. So voting for this is a vote to emasculate yourselves, Democrats. It doesn't matter that it's politically hard to hold the line. You are expected to do hard things when the moment demands it. This is one of those moments.
Several Senate Democrats privately signal after lengthy closed-door lunch they expect that enough of their colleagues will vote to break a Democratic filibuster and let the House GOP stop-gap plan become law.
Everything is very fluid, so it's still unclear how this plays out and could change again.
But there's a growing belief that there will at least eight Dems who will vote to break a filibuster. Vote scheduled for tomorrow.
Schumer going to the floor soon to lay out his latest thinking.
Meantime, a warning from some Ds not to capitulate to the GOP demands, as they argue the CR is worse than a shutdown and would give Trump more power.
Booker: "This is saying, let's just give up even more of our Constitutional authority, because, hey, he can do a lot worse later on. And so to me, that's capitulating to someone who's already showing that he's reckless and willing to do a lot of destruction... We are in a perverse bizarro land where we're having to decide between letting Donald Trump wreck the government this way or wreck the government that way."
