I’m trying to wrap my head around the fact that we, the United States of America, are going to allow a *traitor* to occupy the While House - OUR house.

This debacle has gone beyond anything I could imagine. And it will get worse - much worse.

As Kevin correctly notes, this is a template straight from the playbook of the Caesars. It's how the republic became the principate, and how the principate later became the dominate. A military dependent on no other institution except the patronage of the emperor.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Israelis in Jerusalem cheering the mention of Trump’s name like he’s the long awaited Messiah disgusts me.

Here’s the deal: if Trump and his leech son-in-law were told they cannot build a Gaza Riviera on those beaches, Trump would drop Israel and Gaza like a bad habit.

This is all about greed.

Remember that time when MBS draped a medal on Trump as he bowed before the Saudi prince?

That sealed the deal. The Arab world has owned a piece of Trump ever since.

p.s. Jared likely knows where Khashoggi’s bones are buried.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Three shootings in Mississippi last night after separate high school football games. Six killed at one scene.

I don’t even know what to say anymore.

This order, drafted Stephen Miller and signed by Trump, gives the government to go after, target, and arrest virtually anyone now. Meanwhile, people are more concerned about what’s on Netflix #liberal #democrat

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.
