"Impeachment is not meant for a judge who enters a temporary restraining order that the president doesn’t like. It’s yet another indicator of the #Trump administration’s abject disregard for the rule of law." https://joycevance.substack.com/p/john-roberts-weighs-in

#Trump admin freezes $175 million in federal funding to #Penn

"This is just a taste of what could be coming down the pipe for Penn, one snr Trump admin ofcl told FauxNews.

“The official said that the decision to cut funding was made because Penn ‘infamously permitted a male to compete on its women’s swimming team.’”

This is straight up illegal — a violation of Title VI of the #CivilRights Act & the Administrative Procedure Act.

‘It’s a Heist’: Real Federal Auditors Are Horrified by DOGE

WIRED talked to actual federal auditors about how #government auditing works—and how DOGE is doing the opposite.
https://www.wired.com/story/federal-auditors-doge-elon-musk/

"federal #auditors with years of #experience... say that DOGE’s actions are the furthest thing from what an actual #audit looks like...

“Honestly, comparing real #auditing to what #DOGE is doing, there’s no comparison... None of them are auditors”

If there are no DOD generals brave enough to do battle against this travesty, then there are no DOD generals courageous or strong enough to be leading young men and women into potential wars. #DOD #generals #JackieRobinson #DEI #courage

It turned out that Pappy Trump was made the fool by his pal, Vlad. And thus, the US was made to look like fools too.

"An article published in the British Journal of Sociology of Education has examined how Christianity has 'remained privileged' in both religious education (RE) and collective worship in schools in England. It says current practices relating to religion in schools 'fail to mirror growing non/religious diversity'."

Hail Satan?

President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen: "Russia is preparing for future confrontations with European countries." She highlighted that Russia has significantly expanded its military-industrial production capacities.

“Believe me, Ukraine is on the menu, not at the negotiating table,” – military analyst Michael Clarke to Sky News.

“There’s an old saying in diplomatic circles: ‘If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.’ And believe me, Ukraine is on the menu.”

From bad to absolutely despicable. Trump ended a U.S.-funded initiative documenting Russia’s war crimes, including a sensitive database detailing the mass deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia.

“Putin, do you want more so I can save face?”

👀Trump just rescinded the rule designed to prevent bank collapses - and subsequent taxpayer bailouts of banks and their wealthy uninsured depositors.

The rule was put in place right after the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. https://www.levernews.com/bank-failures-for-all/

He is a drooling, brain-dead husk, incapable of reading, thinking, or grasping even the simplest logic. No reason, no focus, no plan—just a malfunctioning meat puppet spewing gibberish. A walking void, an unthinking parasite, a monument to stupidity so profound it defies comprehension. He is the death of intelligence-made flesh.

Trump got nothing. Putin tricked Trump into demanding that Ukraine can no longer bomb Russian oil refineries, while Putin can continue bombing civilians, and Ukraine can have 0 weapon deliveries for 30 days.

Trump truly possesses a lethal level of stupidity.

It is time the international community tells the wannabe dictator, that we do not deal with fools, and we will now help Ukraine send Putin's murderers back to Moscow.

Enough is enough.
