Another pardon of a criminal based on a narcissist’s whims and enormous ego. No one seems to care but this happens with alarming frequency.

Trump pardons Nevada politician who paid for cosmetic surgery with funds to honor a slain officer President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon for loyalist Michele Fiore, who paid for her plastic surgery with funds that were meant for a statue honoring a slain police officer.

I feel like I read about a Trump pardon of a crooked business person (Justin Sun, anyone?) or corrupt politician every week or so. Loyalty is all that matters

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Senior U.S. official to exit after rift with Musk allies over payment system A top Treasury career staffer is expected to depart. Surrogates of Musk’s DOGE effort had sought access to sensitive payment systems.

This is a hair-on-fire situation (gift link)

Musk allies (not official government employees, apparently) seek access to "the sensitive systems control the flow of more than $6 trillion annually to households, businesses and more nationwide."

Today, representatives of the Agency's front office and DOGE instructed me to violate the due process of our employees by issuing immediate termination notices to a group of employees without due process. I refused and have provided Acting Administrator Gray with written notification of my refusal. I have recommended in that written notification that his office cease ar desist from further illegal activity.
It is and has always been my office's commitment to the workforce that we ensure all employees receive their due process in any of our actions. I will not be party to a violation of that commitment.
I was notified moments ago that I will be placed on administrative leave, effective immediately. It has been an honor working with all of you at this Agency, which i treasure.
Please be kind and considerate of my staff at hctm.eir@usaid.gov. who will be very short-staffed and pressed over the coming months. Until you hear otherwise, Kirsten Gunsolus will be acting in my absence.
If you would like to stay in touch, I can be reached a
