Stop the rhetoric responsible for the terrorism, he says, while using rhetoric that will incite more terrorism.
Trump: "For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we're seeing in our country & it must stop right now. My admin will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity"

No, he’s not giving Putin Alaska, but he is giving Putin a huge gift: the legitimacy of touching down on US soil at the invitation of a US president. A reward for the full-scale invasion of a sovereign, democratic country that the United States and its European allies support.
Putin is COMING TO THE UNITED STATES? Even by Trump 2.0 standards, this is beyond belief. U.S. diplomacy is dead.
Trump says he will meet with Putin in Alaska a week from today.

Please media. Educate and inform Americans.
I cannot say often enough that for all his narcissistic swanning about the stage "agonizing" about "his" decision, the Constitution flatly forbids Trump from attacking a sovereign country that has not attacked the US without obtaining congressional consent.
1/2 Marker of our times:

Public discuss has normalized idea that whatever is churning around in Trump's mind can, *w no restraint or involvement from anyone else,* plunge world into recession ("my tariffs") or major war (Iran)

And that he'll make "reveal" of his whim something like 'Survivor.'

OMFG. Read this and weep for our country and the man whose life is ruined. The Trump administration did this and now claims it can't be fixed. That's not good enough. All Americans should be losing their minds over this, even those who don't usually pay attention. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

NEW: In October, we published secret recordings of Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term.

It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism, our editor-in-chief @sengelberg.bsky.social writes.
The October Story That Outlined Exactly What the Trump Administration Would Do to the Federal Bureaucracy
Historians have hindsight when they look into the past; journalists have the facts on the ground and context to help them look ahead. That means we can sometimes be surprised by how prescient a story ...

That is not how court orders work. If YOU are subject to the court's jurisdiction you need to obey the order even if you aren't in the country at the moment. There's no "i went to international waters so now I can violate the order" exception.
This is outrageous. Judge Boasberg’s order went against government agencies which were in the US, and which were in direct contact with the plane. He must hold them in contempt of court.

The research will continue, just not in the US.

America got the scientific brain drain from Germany under Hitler & the rest of the world will now get ours.

Other countries will quickly surpass our research and benefit both financially and in scientific recognition.

If you want to know the reason Trump is starting a retaliatory trade war with our democratic allies and easing sanctions on Russian thugs it's this.

Autocracy. He's alining with authoritarians and against democracies.

That's why this is happening.

3 days ago, he publicly bullied Zelensky. Earlier today, he stopped all U.S. cyber operations against Russia. And just now, he paused all military aid to Ukraine.

Quit beating around the bush. Trump stands AGAINST the free world. He’s on Putin’s side. He’s doing Putin’s work. Shameful. Traitorous.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
More accurate, fewer words;

"There are plenty of contractors going under".

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.

PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.
