Is this the speech he planned or is he just spouting via stream of consciousness? It’s all taunting so far.

We’re destroying decades of international relationships with 60+ countries and perhaps using the money to fund a real estate project in a manner more like the post-WWII powers that effectively used a Sharpie to redraw the maps of the Middle East.

Am I missing something?

our befuddled anti-immigrant POTUS is suggesting that these people (who want nothing more than to return to their homes to take stock and rebuild) should all go be refugees or immigrants in countries where they will not be welcomed so the US can *own* a 25x5ish-mile strip of bombed out rubble.

some of those people would resort to violence, or would help support those who would use violence against Americans.

And now in one of those desperately poor, ravaged places that is full of people who rightfully view American involvement with skepticism at best and hostility at worst,

So just to get this straight….

We’re shutting down USAID, sowing distrust and ill will in the places that most need help but that also have some of the most desperately poor people in the world. And maybe in their desperation and search for personal control,

Take down evidence-based information but put TikTok back online. Makes sense.

It all feels like a family with a genuinely abusive family member choosing to just carry on with the holiday traditions, hoping to create normalcy through sheer will and denial.

Please ask yourself what the worst 10 allegations a prospective Secretary of Education could ever face are and then tell me this is not one of them

Preventing child abuse and child sexual abuse is central to the mission of the American education system and McMahon already allegedly failed that test

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of β€œprotecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

"Repro rights advocates say GA's decision to dismiss & restructure its committee also could have a chilling effect on the committee’s work, potentially dissuading its members from delving as deeply as they have into the circumstances of pregnant women’s deaths if it could be politically sensitive."

Also, Rep. Mace might be underestimating the number of biological women who’d like to kick her in the teeth.

Mace has stated β€œI’m a survivor of sexual abuse. I can tell you right now, I am never going to allow a biological man in any women’s private spaces.”

Let’s say it again for those in the cheap seats: your problem is with violent and predatory men, not trans women.

"House Republicans have revived HR 9495, which would give Trump power to shut down nonprofits he doesn't like under the guise of fighting β€œterrorism.”
52 House Dems shamefully joined the GOP in voting for it last week.
Every Dem should vote against this authoritarian power-grab."

Describing and Grading All Known Donald Trump Cabinet and Administration Picks Donald Trump is in the midst of selecting the worst Cabinet in American presidential historyβ€”and the worst part about it is that its corruption and incompetence isn’t an accident, but premeditated.

This lengthy PROOF report will grow with each new Trump administration nomination or pick. It offers a written assessment of each pick, with a color-coded grade-assignment system. I used to be a university professor, so I take grading very seriouslyβ€”particularly when it comes to a Cabinet like this.

Thanks to ProPublica for sharing this. Project 2025 made a video for all the new federal appointees. Summary of the first five minutes: You won’t know how to do your job and you shouldn’t ask for clarification. Figure it out as you go along by asking other people who also probably don’t know.
