Very odd to consider how hard Trump obstructed Russia investigation when the links if extant were so hard to find and then see how hard he is fighting disclosure of relationship with Epstein.

The deployment of National Guard units without the city’s consent is unlawful, unconstitutional and undemocratic. It sets a chilling precedent that threatens the constitutional rights of Americans everywhere.
Lawsuit over Trump’s DC Guard deployment exposes deep partisan divide
Twenty-three states have aligned with the Trump administration's stance that he has authority to bring in the Guard, while 22 back the district's position.

They were absolutely 100% already planning for months to do these exact RIFs, and they’re so dumb that they think choosing to do it now will make somebody else take the blame.

NEWS: Trump administration officials have revealed that, so far, over 4,100 federal workers have been laid off in this round of RIFs

I bet no one told you that the Missouri Farm Bureau endorsed the Republican politicians who support Trump’s tariffs and trade war…the two things decimating Missouri soybean farmers.

Did you know that the Farm Bureau sends out a list of “farmer-friendly” politicians to each Farm Bureau member?

Years ago I was teaching my gun history class and at the end of the quarter one of the students said that he was in the campus TPUSA chapter and they put him up to taking the class to spy on me but he felt bad about that because he loved the class and learned a lot and had a great time

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.
