"Blaming the messenger for bad news might help in hiding these from the public for a while. But it doesn't make them go away."

Maher Abdallah, head of international relations at the al-Jazeera TV channel

If Iran or North Korea wants to nuke the US they would be crazy to use a missile. Then everyone in the world would know where it came from and who to shoot back at. They would ship the bomb in via UPS. Cheaper, more reliable, and nobody knows where it came from. Of course both of those countries ARE crazy.

"The U.S. government's use of ICE is reminiscent of how governments in countries like Venezuela and Nicaragua have used police and paramilitary units loyal to the president with impunity to suppress dissent."

Alternet

"Once you leave the womb, conservatives don't care about you until you reach military age. Then you're just what they're looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers."

George Carlin

"We now live in the Trump era, where the president's terrible ideas are made real by a team of enablers and toadies. Democracy may die in darkness, but under Trump, it's just as liable to die in dumbness."

Bret Stephens, New York Times.

"Of course due process makes it harder for the government to do what it wants. That's the whole point " to make sure that the government is acting in accord with the law."

Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the Berkeley School of Law

"Government "of the People" cannot flourish beneath a suffocating cloak of secrecy. And secrecy is often aimed, not at protecting us from enemies abroad, but at deceiving us about the dark machinations of our own government."

Sen. Richard H. Black, Colonel US Army (ret.); Associate, Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity.

"Now, people ask me all the time how we got four surplus budgets in a row. What new ideas did we bring to Washington? I always give a one-word answer: Arithmetic."

Former President Bill Clinton

Is there any chance this is why Musk wants to gut EPA?

Of course it will cut medicare. Rich people don't need it and they are the only ones who count.

"In the long term, Trumpism is doomed. Power without prudence and humility invariably fails. Nations, like people, change not when times are good but in response to pain. At a moment when Trumpism seems to be devouring everything, the temptation is to believe that this time is different."

David Brooks

"That is the most startling aspect of Trumpism - how otherwise decent Republicans with long-standing reputations for political normalcy and measured behavior have become cravenly submissive to Trump despite the daily deluge of incompetence, ignorance and buffoonery; along with the moral, ethical and policy hazards that accompany it."

Jeff Timmer

"To say that it is amateur hour at the White House is to slander amateurs."

David Brooks

Whoever came up with the 40% figure sounds precisely like the incompetent worthless federal employee who should be fired.

"There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action."

Wolfgang von Goethe

"Far too many of those in power today are basing critical decisions that affect our lives and the lives of future generations not on rigorous science or even the most basic of facts - but on ideology, political opportunism and, most disturbing of all, willful misinformation."

Kevin Knobloch, President, Union of Concerned Scientists
