If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

New in PN: Tulsi Gabbard and Trump's scheme to gut the intel agencies "It’s easy to see why Trump sees value in putting a stake in the heart of the intelligence agencies. From his perspective, the risk they'll uncover wrongdoing by him, or the authoritarian leaders he identifies with, is too great"
Tulsi Gabbard and Trump's scheme to gut the intel agencies
It's hard to envision a less suited intelligence chief. That’s a feature, not a bug.

When elitist pundits claim "No one saw it coming", all that shows is who they consider to be no one. Never let them tell you who you are or what you're worth. From HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020):
Trump will not deport migrants working for the companies of his friends and donors, and he will grant tariff exemptions for the companies of his friends and donors. Watch.

After Trump's Project 2025 denials, he is tapping its authors and influencers for key roles

Always remember that a large amount of people wanted to negotiate with Hitler 'for peace' long after Germany started eating its neighbours. When the French collaborators negotiated they nearly lost all of France to the Nazis. Negotiation can only happen after the invader has been pushed back home.
Wasn’t there some woman from California who was running for something who told us this was going to happen
NBC News@nbcnews.com · 2y agoPresident-elect Trump and his allies disavowed the conservative Project 2025 during the election. Now, his transition team is turning to Project 2025 to help staff the next administration, sources tell @nbcnews.com.
The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
💥 Ukraine: Natasha Hrabarchuk, a kindergarten teacher, shot down a Russian cruise missile on her first-ever attempt with an Igla MANPADS.

Responding to the West's cowardice, led by Scholz calling Putin to 'negotiate' in response to 10,000 North Korean soldiers joining the invasion of Ukraine, North Korea prepares 100,000 troops.
🚨 BREAKING: Biden Allows Ukraine to Strike Russia With Long-Range ATACMS Missiles

A full field investigation begins w/ a detailed FBI interview, followed by interviews with scores of witnesses. Any false answer is a felony. The whole investigation is critical for Senate to assess national security risk and character and is integral to constitutional scheme.
Why do I get the feeling we are going to hold Trump accountable by documenting every broken campaign promise while the people he made the promises to won’t care?
Been a long time since I’ve read something that so, so, so perfectly put my own thoughts into words. An excellent read from @adamjentleson.bsky.social

Russia did exactly this to HRC in 2016, aiming to suppress her vote, and probably did. Musk no doubt did suppress Harris voting as well with these demotivation techniques. This should be illegal. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Inside the Republican false-flag effort to turn off Kamala Harris voters
A multi-pronged dark money effort by advisers to Elon Musk targeted liberals, Jews, Muslims and Black voters with ads that were not quite what they seemed.

The amount of irrational hate of trans people from otherwise educated, informed people I know just shocks & saddens me to no end. It's so deep-seated & visceral. They can never point to one time, ever, that a trans person has ever hurt them. The power of ignorance and right-wing fear-mongering.
