The #kakistocracy is real. MAGA now means “Many Americans Go Ailing.”

Laura Loomer, the far-right MAGA acolyte of the Convicted-Felon-in-Chief, says of Qatar’s gift plane, “We cannot accept a $400m ‘gift’ from jihadists in suits.”

Well, she *almost* got it right. It doesn’t matter who/what/where/when/how, the President of the United States should not accept anything of significant value—full stop. The fact that it’s a $400 million gift, or that we might have political differences with the gift giver is entirely irrelevant!

Reference: Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution.

A voluntary federal program that costs about $50 million per year to administer, while helping consumers save an estimated $34 BILLION per year in reduced energy costs? The Convicted-Felon-in-Chief hates it and Republicans are planning to kill it.

Shame on everyone involved in this egregious assault on civil liberty.

The judge noted, “There has been no evidence introduced by the government [specifically Trump Regime] other than the op-ed. That literally is the case. There is no evidence here."

JAILED FOR
MORE THAN SIX WEEKS.

POLITICAL PRISONER JAILED BY REPUBLICANS.

For a guy whose name appears on the book entitled “Art of the Deal,” I see no evidence of “art” in any of these gyrations and certainly nothing resembling a “deal” in the ensuing chaos.

What’s more nauseating: that the Convicted-Felon-in-Chief actually said this, or, that Republicans will read it and shrug their shoulders?

Because if we can revise history to say that Nixon wasn’t all that bad a president, maybe the Convicted-Felon-in-Chief has less to worry about how his fascist regime will be judged.

You keep saying, “Our Country will boom.” I do not think it means what you think it means.

Republicans famously have said government should not be picking “winners and losers” when regulating the market. What is this if not that exact thing? Once again, they accuse others of wrongly doing the things they themselves do.

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) urges continued support and robust funding for NOAA, the federal agency that is the source of critical weather and climate information, including forecasting during severe weather events. This is literally a matter of life or death.

Read the letter and the details of just some of the essential services NOAA provides to more than earn our support.

Buyer’s remorse?

Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee of Arkansas seeks routine federal assistance from FEMA but is told to beat feet.

Look, if the GOP wants to make changes to FEMA policy, sure, let’s discuss and implement a transition plan. But the Convicted-Felon-in-Chief is taking the bull-in-a-china-shop approach, refusing to release federal funding already approved and in the budget, leaving states with no fallback plan or time to prepare a post-FEMA plan.

Bottom line: Cruel, capricious and spreading chaos. Just another day of Republican rule.

“If any officer or enlisted member had passed classified information over an unsecured or unauthorized [device], we would have been immediately removed [them] from our position, investigated, most likely prosecuted. For an officer, it’s a career killer.” said Joe Plenzler, a retired veteran of the United States Marine Corps who served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Pete Hegseth was never qualified to be CEO of a department with 2.8 million employees and an annual budget of $824 billion. And now he’s demonstrated his incompetence at following even the most basic security protocols required to carry out the life-and-death missions of DoD. If any other Defense employee had done the same, they would be facing immediate reprisals or removal.

Louisiana consistently ranks among the states in the country with the highest maternal mortality rate. What, if anything, will the Louisiana Legislature do to address this crisis during the session that started yesterday? Browsing the listing of pre-filed bills, I find nothing. Absolutely nothing. Someone please show me I’m wrong.

Every time you write or say the Convicted-Felon-in-Chief did something horrible, you should add, “enabled by Republicans everywhere,” because Trump is not alone. He is aided and abetted by Republican voters and elected representatives at the local, state, and national levels.

They all share the blame.

The Guardian knows how to report the news:

“Donald Trump signed four executive orders on Tuesday aimed at reviving coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel that has long been in decline, and which substantially contributes to planet-heating greenhouse gas emissions and pollution.”
