“The contrast between Dwight Eisenhower and Donald Trump—and his coterie of fools, cretins, incompetents, drunks and drug addicts, grifters, deviants, and seditionists—could not be sharper.”

Truer words…

[The Dispatch @thedispatch]

“Eisenhower helped to rebuild a world crippled by war and economic catastrophe; Trump et al. have undone the better part of a century’s work securing American interests and prosperity by bringing war, inflation, humiliation, and dishonor to everything they touch.” | Kevin D. Williamson

In the case to block Trump's Arch, briefing will be complete Oct 30. Not clear if Judge Chutkan will order a hearing. If not enjoined, work could start 11/5.

Disagree on policy all you want, but what we're seeing in Ohio is appalling. Bring common sense & decency back to politics!

[Principles First @Principles_1st]

Are career foreign service officers being asked how they voted during promotion interviews? A new report exposes troubling questions regarding political loyalty tests at the State Department. Is this policy alignment or a return to the spoil system?

@Kris_Reichert Hoping for Congress to do its job and hold these people accountable.

Seems the officials who refused to give Kusher a security clearance in Trump 1.0 have been vindicated once again.

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. https://t.co/8AyV60gg1X

Thank you @JohnKasich! Common decency and respect still matter.

The Trump administration says tonight that it could begin construction of the triumphal arch on Nov. 5 — immediately after next month's vote.

[melissa millhorn @mgdotmills]

@ddiamond @MarcilynF The commission doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to face the public, so the hearing is fully online. Cowards and quislings.

Thank you for great conversation!

What an embarrassment

[Gregg Nunziata @greggnunziata]

I talk to young right wing students on campus who are openly excited about going into government to use the power of the state to break the left.

They should hear a message that there might be consequences for such abuse of power.

[Principles First @Principles_1st]

Pay-to-play in broad daylight. An explosive @ProPublica investigation reveals how defense contractor Navatek funneled cash to top politicians, including Lindsey Graham & James Clyburn, for millions in earmarks. Why were there no charges? A political purge of the FBI.

I question many decisions this administration has made.

Cozying up to dictators is at the top of that list.

It's a firehose of corruption...

Maybe, just maybe, it's the blatant corruption.

@WomenInTheBurbs @lifeisaslugline I’m with Patricia…displacing an officer really bugs me. They could have moved into a gated community in the DMV or an apartment building with controlled access. And, the sidewalk chalk was literally a bunch of grandmas.
