Interesting fact about Shirley Weber. She was born in Hope, AR two years after Bill Clinton.
For a small town of 10K Hope, AR is a political powerhouse. Birthplace of the two above plus Gov Mike Huckabee and Gov Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
*** I have no idea why I know that trivial fact

Trump voters lack common sense and critical thinking skills. I certainly wouldn't want to vote for somebody, Trump, who said, "I don't care about you; I just want your vote."
Welcome to the FO part of FAFO.
As a white middle class straight male I'm viewing this with both horror and curiosity.
The good news is we just have to deal with it for 2 years because the mid terms will be a bloodbath for Republicans. The bad news is that's a long ways away right now.
In case you want to follow along with those working in the government right now. It's wild as hell.

Beyond nuts? Support repealing the 19th Amendment? But I wouldn't be too surprised a lot of Republican women would vote for him, especially if the only other candidate choice was a Democrat.

ICE is in full gangster mode in Colorado right now. They hit Fraser, CO yesterday. A town of 1,450 people. According to some friends there, about 15 human beings, just trying to work construction in the freezing cold and feed their families, were rounded up and sent to Buckley AFB.

A mysterious meeting with Syrian president is at the center of spy chief's nomination fight

Tulsi Gabbard Briefly Subject to Special Scrutiny Last Year After Vatican Meeting
Ms. Gabbard, President Trump’s nominee for director of national intelligence, was briefly subject to special scrutiny on airline flights last year, but not, officials say, for the partisan reasons she has alleged.
Tulsi Gabbard’s history with Russia is even more concerning than you think
One expert says her views are ‘so wildly fringe that her potential appointment as DNI is genuinely alarming’, Richard Hall and Andrew Feinberg write

Discussions on Tulsi Gabbard travel and visits with foreign leaders and pro Russian opinions. Second article talks about a trip that led to her no fly list inclusion last year.
"After Ms. Gabbard went public with her allegations about being punished by the Biden administration, Republicans in Congress demanded answers. Late last year, U.S. transportation officials briefed members of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on why she was subjected to additional scrutiny after the Vatican visit.
Two senior U.S. officials walked The New York Times through the chain of events surrounding the trip on the condition of anonymity because they were discussing sensitive intelligence matters.
Ms. Gabbard flew to Rome in July to attend a meeting in Vatican City organized by a European businessman who runs a foundation.
That businessman, according to the two senior U.S. officials, appeared on a watch list maintained by the F.B.I.’s Terrorist Screening Center. His involvement in Ms. Gabbard’s visit prompted the Transportation Security Administration to place her and her husband, who accompanied her to Rome, in a program called Quiet Skies."

Yeah it's not gonna matter. 3 Republicans will join the democrats in voting against her, Vance will break the tie and she will be confirmed.
This began before Trump but the senate used to have a spine. Now if the same parties are in charge, it's just another arm of the executive branch.

Congress is just a wing of the white house if same party

EPA cuts off IRA solar money already under contract
Recipients of the $7 billion Solar For All program were locked out of an online portal that’s used to distribute federal funding.

EPA is holding funds from approved under contract federal grants for solar industry. Pretty sure this is illegal from the contract side as well as the executive branch refusing to allow funds earmarked by congress.

Legality is relative with the current administration.
Is it legal? No
Do we care? No
Can we do what we want and tie things up in the courts until either the other side quits or time runs out on this? Yes
Let's flipping go then!

This sh!t pisses me off. I knew it was coming, and here it is.
POTUS doesn't give a flying F about any rules, congress won't do anything about it and the courts take years to rule on anything and ultimatelyits up to SCOTUS and they are mostpy heritage members that believe POTUS is king. And then what happens if he ignores court rulings? Nothing, nothing happens other than they tell him again and he ignores it again.
Hope everyone is happy they elected a freaking criminal to be president and then gave him congress all because he lied about getting grocery prices down.
The get to troll the libs and that's worth it got some.
It’s literally been his strategy, his whole life.
