Another word you might use for it is "looting".
"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

The voting technology company Smartmatic accused federal prosecutors of weaponizing the Justice Department against it to promote President Donald Trump’s 2020 election lies and aid his allies facing massive defamation lawsuits. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Khanna: "Trump said the Iraq War was a disaster. He said Libya was a disaster. He ran bc a big part of the MAGA base did not want another war in the Middle East. They rejected Lindsey Graham, & yet here we have Lindsey Graham being the face of Republican foreign policy. I believe this is a betrayal"
Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."
complete insanity

Trump's mass deportations are his Forever War:
*restive populations bravely resisting extended military occupations
*public-private war bureaucracy
*huge arms buildup
*war profiteers winning lucrative weapons contracts
*costly (MAGA) elite-engineered quagmire opposed by the American people
Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.
Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?
Mayes: We’re talking about having to physically protect the machinery of democracy. And to me, it is surreal that we are at that place.
But what I want Americans to know is that you have a team of AGs that has been working together for more than a year now to protect democracy.
"It is now simply a standard, often unmentioned part of our politics that those who the president dislikes, within his own party or outside it, will be the target of stochastic terror."
The Defense Department has been feuding with Anthropic over military uses of its artificial intelligence tools. At stake are hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts and access to some of the most advanced AI on the planet. n.pr/47fLZ9N
Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

My team and I have been anticipating this for months. It is unconstitutional and illegal.
The media should note: Last time he issued an EO about voting, we sued and won. If Trump issues such an order we will sue again and we will win again.

NEW: Senate Democrats REJECT funding for DHS, which will lead to shutdown of the agency. Keep in mind, ICE and CBP are still funded by supplemental money in the BBB, but it's harder to spend and will deplete those funds. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
🚨BREAKING: An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”
