The media moved on like nothing happened.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Keep sharing this so it doesn’t get buried.
@ronn214@TheMaineWonk Well said . Trump has the worst decorating taste as anyone ever in the WH. And it seems he has destroyed the carefully selected pieces previously selected by the Decorators. His taste seriously leans to the gaudy. Can only imagine how tackythe new ballroom will be
@DanaBashCNN@jaketapper@AlexThomp I’d rather watch paint dry than read this book. You really should be ashamed. Biden as president did more for this country than any other president. There is nothing wrong with his mental acuity. And you say nothing about Trump decline. Really. Disgraceful
BREAKING: Donald Trump's week kicks off with disaster as the former head of the government's whistleblower protection office hits him with an ironclad lawsuit for illegally firing him.
Trump messed with the wrong guy this time...
Hampton Dellinger, who was appointed by President Joe Biden to lead the Office of the Special Counsel, states in his lawsuit that he was fired by Trump "in a one-sentence email" in violation of his five-year term appointment.
The OSC allows whistleblowers to report their concerns of government wrongdoing in a safe and secure environment without fear of reprisals.
Given the rampant corruption of Trump's administration and his demonstrated penchant for vindictive reprisals, the OSC represents an obvious threat to his administration.
"The recent spate of terminations of protected civil service employees under the new presidential administration has created controversies, both about the lawfulness of these actions and about potential retaliation against whistleblowers," the lawsuit states. "The OSC is statutorily tasked with receiving such reports, investigating them, and taking appropriate action."
“The President’s unlawful attempt to remove Special Counsel Dellinger from his office directly violates the modest but vital protections that Congress put in place and renders the OSC and the Special Counsel unable to fulfill their statutory mandate," it adds.
"The OSC’s ability to protect the civil service and investigate alleged misconduct is needed now more than ever," the suit states.
The legal battle comes amidst Trump and Elon Musk's ongoing shameless efforts to gut the federal government to further empower the super rich and corporations. They're working to transition us from a democracy into a full-blown oligarchy.
When the Office of Special Counsel was created, the law clearly stipulated that its leader could only be removed if he or she demonstrated "inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office."
"Over the preceding three weeks, an unprecedented number of federal employees with civil service protections have been terminated without cause," the lawsuit says.
"Senior career officials have been purged from the Federal Bureau of Investigations," it continues. "Eighteen Inspectors General from across the federal government have been removed without the justification required by statute. And hundreds of federal employees have been locked out of their computer systems."
Dellinger's lawsuit requests a temporary order from the judge to bar his termination. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee, will make the decision.

@kylegriffin1 Ah mean, the President is a convicted felon, I don’t know what their expectations were for his administration. The convicted felon’s administration is just a reflection of himself. Unqualified, petty, pathological liars with zero empathy. 🤷🏽♀️
My mom stopped eating last week and she's wasting away. All she does is sleep 24/7 and wants to die. I have POA for her healthcare decisions and the nursing home is asking me if I want to do a feeding tube. She doesn't want it & I don't know what to do. 😞
A nation that elects a person with 34 felony convictions and four indictments will never be great.
Neither will it be decent, moral, humane, or respectable.
