A despicable human being

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 1d

Trump is threatening to withhold back pay for federal workers furloughed during the shutdown — which goes against a law he signed in 2019, by the way.

This should come as no surprise: Trump and his businesses have been accused of stiffing hundreds of their own workers out of pay over the years.

I lived through Nixon too. This is a different animal. It has a whole different feel to it.
I do feel like, we can turn this around in 13 months, if we elect enough democrats.
That's what it's going to take.

Trump has turned the Department of Justice into his own personal vendetta machine. And Pam Bondi has been happy to go along for the ride.

We're witnessing the most egregious politicization of the DOJ in recent memory — and I lived through the Nixon years.
