What the Dems are going to do is fight it.

When? Or more pertinently, how? Trump needs to be countered but his personal party has a stranglehold on the government currently with rubber stamps in the House, Senate and SCOTUS.

I do agree with the rest of your comment though, Doc.

Everything he touches dies.

It was too late when they confirmed Clearance Thomas.

Any company headquartered in Arkansas isn't worried about the politics in NC.

They won't be satisfied until Trump is crowned King.

The widespread political purges of the early 1950s echo clearly today. Seventy years ago, the reasonable pretext of hunting Soviet agents opened the way to a yearslong, paranoid campaign, motivated by outlandish conspiracy theories, that destroyed countless careers but did nothing to improve America's security.

Today, a stated desire to check the excesses of diversity, equity and inclusion programs has already been used to justify whirlwind firings and closures of entire federal offices. So it may be wise to consider the consequences of that previous era of purges, part of what came to be known as the "Red Scare."

At a time of intense geopolitical competition, the United States kneecapped itself, removing thousands of valuable employees and forcing those who remained into unhappy conformity. It is hard not to see the same mistake being repeated today.

It can be tempting to say that just as the Red Scare petered out, so too will the current hunt for "disloyal" elements. But for all the parallels, there's an important difference: Loyalty then meant loyalty to the United States; today Trump demands loyalty to himself and his agenda.

Once the public realizes the destructiveness of the purges conducted in Trump's name, will he halt them? That remains an unsettlingly open question.

More: A veteran House Democrat is introducing new legislation to respond to billionaire Trump ally Elon Musk's overhaul of the federal government: Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) on Wednesday rolled out the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy (ELON MUSK) Act, which would ban "special" government employees like Musk from having federal contracts.

"No government employee, Special' or not, should have any financial interest in who the government does business with," Pocan said. "Elon Musk is the poster child for this type of potential abuse. After more than $20 billion in federal contracts, there's no way Musk can be objective in what he's doing." Musk holds major federal contracts through his companies including SpaceX and Starlink.

Shut up, little man.

How many people did he just put out of work? I hope someone is keeping a running total of jobs he is destroying.

#69,

If I were a believer I'd be convinced Trump was the Antichrist.

Unless boaz shows up and says something even dumber, #4 will probably be the most ridiculous thing I'll read all day.

As terrible as this is - and it is unbelievably terrible - it's being done as a distraction from what Musk and his cronies are doing. Our country and it's wealth are being stolen from us.

If you voted for him you deserve what you get.

The worst idea in the history of ideas.

That's it then. The payment system is compromised and should never be trusted again.

Further proof that it's not drag queens or immigrants our country need to be worried about. Radicalized conservatives are an existential threat.

Blatant violation of the Eighth Amendment.

Jones Bosier of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, effectively means that Proud Boys chapters across the country can no longer legally use their own name or the group's traditional symbols without the permission of the church that was attacked, the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church.

The Freudian slip in the headline really says it all.

She made Trump back off and agree to crack down on guns without giving a single concession.

Considering that the 18th century was the 1700s WTF does the 1920-30s have to do with it?

"They call it Know Your Rights.' I call it how to escape arrest,'" -Tom Homan

I think that quote will probably sum up the 2nd Trump administration quite well when it's all said and done.

Someone must have explained how discovery works to him.

Too little too late, as usual.
