The number one fraudster in America is Donald Trump. A court literally found him liable for hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud and he’s ripping us all off Daily.

[think4yourself🇺🇸🤨🤔💙 @Caroltreasure]

another illegal order… when are republicans going to give up their little project 2025 coup and take back control of the government.. the war powers act was only signed by 4 republicans that means 200+ are ok with trump having the full power to kill american soldiers with no logical explanation lead by a weirdo. Now the pentagon has essentially blocked all press from obtaining info on the war… what the fvck are they hiding. Unacceptable

Yesterday Donald Trump tripled the size of his personal political army inside the government. Illegally. And almost no one noticed.

Here's what happened:

He signed an order converting ~8,000 of the most senior career officials in government into employees he can fire for any reason, or no reason at all.

These aren't rando's. They're the directors, chiefs of staff, and the people who write the rules or decide who gets federal money, i.e. the lieutenants right below his political appointees.

Until yesterday, they answered to the law. Now they answer to him.

A president normally gets ~4,000 political appointees. People he can bring into government and fire at will. I was one of them at DHS. You serve at his pleasure, full stop -- so if you're gonna speak truth to power, you're prepared to quit (or get fired if he doesn't like it).

The rest of the federal government is PROTECTED from firing if they tell the truth.

But Trump just stripped those protections. Adding 8,000 more people to his personal army. Overnight. Without asking Congress.

With the stroke of a pen, those people now serve at the pleasure of the president. They're "his" people, whether they like it or not.

And the chilling effect is real. An official who can be fired this afternoon for "subversion of presidential directives" (the order's own words) doesn't need to be hand-picked to know what's expected of him or her.

The threat does all the work.

By the way, this order is illegal. The law only lets Trump reclassify jobs when "necessary" in exceptional circumstances. And this blows an 8,000-person hole in the merit hiring / firing system created by Congress.

Without permission, Trump has created a whole new category of stormtroopers inside the Executive Branch.

If this doesn't get challenged in court, you're going to see the U.S. government become a very different place.

DELBENE: You gave DOGE access to Treasury systems housing Americans' sensitive data. What specific measures, if any, have you taken to protect the affected individuals' data?

BESSENT: Would you care to look up what does 'inadvertent' mean?

DELBENE: You are in charge!

U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY) cuts off Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) two minutes into her allotted five minutes of questioning after she asked acting Attorney General Todd Blanche a question about the Epstein files.

DEAN: "What rules are we operating under? Because he's under a little bit of heat for not prosecuting anyone in these monstrous crimes?"

The Trump administration has been telling you they had screwworm under control for months. Now, it's here.

What happened? Trump and DOGE slashed funding for screwworm monitoring programs.

And the entire GOP let them. Thank them for today's new hell they unleashed on you.

🚨 BREAKING: Bessent Couldn't Name The Case.

Asked what ongoing litigation prevents him from discussing Trump's audit status, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the matter was tied up in court.

Then Rep. Linda Sánchez asked a simple follow-up:

Which case?

He couldn't name it.

Sánchez pointed out that the only litigation she was aware of involved the $1.8 billion DOJ fund and said that case doesn't address presidential audit immunity.

That's what made the exchange awkward.

The administration says litigation prevents answers.

Congress wants to know which litigation.

WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and I’ll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. We’re being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as we’re at each other’s throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, they’re done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise. (But still fuck Jake “Brick Tamland” Tapper on any time line)
