Well, fuck.

I’m starting to suspect that our ability to catch spree killers who leave the scene is extremely dependent on a functioning FBI…which we 100% do not have right now.

This is sad and funny but Republicans have allowed Donald Trump to dismantle much of the security structure protecting America.

Pentagon, Homeland Security, FBI are all run by corrupt morons. NSA leadership fired by Laura Loomer.

Republicans who allowed this are not patriots.

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation

"It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."

'Eroding': Major GOP donor warns it could take a 'lifetime to repair the damage' from Trump
One of the Republican Party's biggest billionaire benefactors is now lamenting the "damage" that President Donald Trump has already done just less than 100 days into his second term. Semafor reported Wednesday that Ken Griffin, who is the founder and CEO of the investment firm Citadel, is now loudly condemning Trump's handling of the economy, and tarnishing the United States' "brand." He blasted the administration for "eroding" the power of the U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasury securities. "We put that brand at risk,” Griffin said. “It can be a lifetime to repair the damage that has been done.” READ MORE: (Opinion) We're on the cusp of a national outrage that transcends the old political labels Griffin was particularly worried that institutional investors around the world were no longer viewing U.S. Treasury securities as a valuable investment, despite them typically being regarded as one of the safest ways to park money given that they're backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. He observed that, in comparison to the Euro, the United States "has become 20% poorer in four weeks." And he lamented that the United States' allies were now looking at it in a lesser light. “There’s no great opportunity when the pie is rapidly shrinking,” he said. “All you’re trying to do is tread water and not drown.” “How does Canada feel about our country today versus two months ago? How does Europe feel about the United States today versus two months ago?” He continued. “And some people scream, well, it just doesn’t matter. But you know what? It matters for a very profound reason. The entire Western world is engulfed in a debt crisis.” Griffin's remarks are particularly noteworthy given that he was one of the top five donors to Republican causes in 2024. According to campaign finance data compiled by Open Secrets, Griffin gave more than $100 million to outside groups backing Republicans last year, and was only surpassed by banking heir Timothy Mellon, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Dallas Mavericks owner Miriam Adelson (the widow of GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson) and shipping industry titans Dick and Elizabeth Uihlein.

If DOGE is really about better systems, it makes zero sense to eliminate a tax filing system that saves Americans time and money. Without Direct File, working families struggling to pay bills will now face either high tax fees or complex paperwork which makes tax filing more expensive to administer.

Note to fellow journos: If only one "economist" agrees w Trump tariffs—as evidenced by fact that this particular "economist" is now being interviewed and cited everywhere as only "expert" willing to publicly defend them—consider confirming that he's actually an "economist." Check CVs, for example.

Fascism isn’t about a certain philosophy of governance or set of policy prescriptions. That’s why it’s usually totally incoherent, philosophically and intellectually. It’s about envisioning the worst, most indulgent violence you can about groups you hate and then working backwards to justify it.

Fascism doesn’t LEAD TO crimes against humanity. It is ABOUT crimes against humanity. These crimes are its reason for being.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President.

Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional.

They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

Blue states should pass laws requiring that tariffs are itemized and clearly shown in purchase receipts, by the way.

Let people know how much they’re paying extra thanks to Donald Trump and the Republican Congress.

The attempt to burn down the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion is pretty clearly an assassination attempt, and it's likely an antisemitic hate crime. It should be referred to that way by political media.
