If an entire large city was on fire I’d think the president would be expected to go there to tour the damage.

WHO IS FIRING WHO??

The president cannot fire federal employees. He appoints a relatively small group of officials:

Cabinet secretaries, ambassadors, and some other political appointees (about 4k total).

Vought can’t either. Only within the OMB, which has roughly 500.

We still have laws, yes??

this is an absolutely insane news conference for the Attorney General of the United States to be participating in.

(note how Benny Johnson describes the Annunciation shooting as an act of political violence, which is a lie)

If anyone thinks Americans who are tiring of Trump’s authoritarianism will automatically vote for the same Democrats offered to voters for years, I don’t think the next elections will go how those people imagine. Nor do they understand today’s US voters.

Do you consider yourself conservative or libertarian? Trump’s attacks on renewables:

* Attack free markets
* Stifle innovation
* Take lives
* Eliminate jobs
* Raise energy costs
* Harm national security

This regime is not on your side either.

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world

As well as embracing ‘beautiful coal’, the president has set about obliterating clean energy projects

Weird how they say that vaccines are bad and the president is good but the president got two vaccines yesterday, I wonder how long it will take before he is forced to wear high heels or starts collecting model trains or whatever they think vaccines do besides save lives

Stephen Miller is a weak lying douchebag Nat-C authoritarian who despises the US Constitution, and his dangerous statement that a POTUS has “plenary authority” tells any constitutionally-bound American he is just that. Our Constitution clearly defines the powers of the President.

Politico: At a hearing yesterday to get Abrego Garcia out of immigration prison, his lawyers proved that ICE has made desultory attempts to deport him to Ghana, Uganda, and Eswaitini, all of whom refused. It’s all about ICE Barbie vowing Abrego Garcia would never walk the streets of America.

Florida spends less on public education today than they did before the Great Recession, when adjusted for inflation.

Average teacher pay has decreased in Florida by 11% in the last 10 years when adjusted for inflation.

Tell me again how Florida's government has done right on public education...

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

ICE Stranded a 17-Year-Old on I-20 After Arresting His Father. The Mississippi Dad Now Faces Deportation.

A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.
