This seems a pretty huge deal, surprised it's not mentioned already (couldn't find it mentioned with a search).

Outcry as Trump withdraws support for research that mentions ‘climate’

US government stripping funds from domestic and overseas research amid warnings for health and public safety

www.theguardian.com

Another fascist (or, tbf, also Stalinist) trait - political control of science. Albeit they seem to be doing it in the crudest, dumbest way imaginable (you can't use the word 'climate' in your research).

Shouldn't this upset President Musk?

Where are our resident MAGATs that voted for all of this to protest about this?

I guess they also hate clean water for drinking and air to breath. Oh well.

A civil war is totally unavoidable it seems... Trump is literally eliminating the US and I think that he might be a double of him instead of the real deal. Trump is not that idiotic after all

J6 Prison Choir to Perform at Kennedy Center

The J6 Prison Choir will reportedly perform at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, after Donald Trump appointed himself as chairman.

consequence.net

One more national embarrassment

So a chorus of pedos and wife beaters?

I’d rather watch a one armed juggler.

Will they be showing their artistic talents by spreading feces all over the walls?

The most amazing Kennedy Center performance was Heart doing Stairway to Heaven with the remaining members of Led Zeppelin in the audience. It was stunning to see!

One upside to The Proud Boys fascist men's prison choir, Ted Nugent, Kid Rock and the Village Peoples upcoming 4-year residency at the Kennedy Center is that there will always be plenty of parking.

So the evangelicals hate woke and DEI and love brutally firing innocent government workers and cutting charity. I guess the golden rule is not a thing anymore.

They hate DEI because it was allowing qualified minorities to get the jobs they deserved while forcing out unqualified white people.

Military leadership purge underway.

Dan Caine the new JCOS pick had a had an "unusual" path to command:

Dan Caine, Trump’s Joint Chiefs Pick, Had Unusual Path to Top Ranks

The general made an impression in 2018 when he said, according to the president, that the Islamic State could be defeated in a week.

www.nytimes.com

Trump: - “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir,’” Mr. Trump said General Caine said. “Then he puts on a Make America Great Again hat,” Mr. Trump said, laughing. “You’re not allowed to do that, but they did it.”

And then he got down on his knees and opened his mouth? How long until Caine dons a powder blue general’s uniform with gold epaulets?

Trump told the "Raisin Caine" (lol!) story a few times slightly differently, and at least once it was Trump saying “I love you” to General Caine:

Donald Trump Speaks at Rally in Ohio

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a “Buckeye Values PAC.” Read the transcript here.

www.rev.com

And we have a great military, I’ll tell you. I saw that with ISIS. Once I let them go, I said, “Go ahead, fellas. Do what you have to do. General Raisin Caine. “What’s your name?” “General Raisin, Sir.” “What’s your last name?” “Caine.” I said, “Your name’s Raisin Caine. I love you. This is what I’ve been looking for. I’ve been looking for a guy named Raisin Caine,” and he knocked him out.

Surprised it wasn't Mike Flynn, the ultimate "face between the cheeks yes man".

Along with firing the black guys, he also fired the Chief of Naval Operations. The CNO is a woman.

The remaining Chiefs are all white males.

Looking at General Browns career/ranks - 2nd lieutenant in 1985 to full colonel in 2005, where one could nicely retire. In July 2018 he’s promoted to 4 star general. 41 years of service.

It sure seems like the argument against DEI of “just hire the best people!” flies in the face of the fact that DEI is very effectively hiring the best people.

Apparently there is only merit in telling Trump what he wants to hear and putting on a MAGA hat. The "pure meritocracy" the right keeps going on about.

Trump rages IN ALL CAPS that MSNBC is a threat to our Democracy

Truth Social

Truth Social is America's "Big Tent" social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.

truthsocial.com

Translation: I am a threat to democracy. Telling the truth is a threat to my administration .

MSMBC must be getting some good leaks from mortified staffers in the White House.

The Maddow story from last night showing MAGA voters pissed about the DOGE cuts really triggered Trump. The man that invented "Alternate Facts" thinks MSNBC is athreat to Democracy? lol! Only a Fascist would think that this is normal behavior befitting a US president.

Actually he started his screed with an all caps:

"HIGHEST POLL NUMBERS EVER. I GUESS WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK!!! THANK YOU"

More lies and red meat for the cult.

What does Trump do when his polls hit historical lows.... Find/attack an enemy!

Putin is laughing his ass off at Trump dividing our nation.

It may well be that the only power strong enough to overcome the global power of the US, is...the US electorate. Americans have nothing to fear but...Americans.

Trump administration shuts down national database documenting police misconduct

Database, first proposed by Trump in 2020 and created by Biden administration in 2023, is now offline

www.theguardian.com

I guess it frees up bad cops to go back to just switching between different PDs and other agencies?

Small irony here

Trump himself initially proposed the database after the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020, months before Biden defeated him in the presidential election that November.

Whitehouse statement

President Trump rescinded the order creating this database on Day 1 because he is committed to giving our brave men and women of law enforcement the tools they need to stop crime.”

Seems positively Orwellian. So determined to give them the tools they need to stop crime that he's taking away a tool needed to stop criminals who happen to have been LEOs from continuing their criminal career.

Maddow did a deep dive of a recent poll and it was brutal for Trump. He probably saw that segment.

The email has been sent and posted. It doesn't mention resignation but gives a midnight Monday deadline. Not a good week to be on vacation.

So why did Trump appoint all those cabinet Secretaries and other toadies if Musk is going to do their jobs for them anyway?

In particular it means higher prices and reduced services for rural areas, and low-population density states, i.e. Republican areas, compared to densely-populated urban areas, i.e. Democrat areas.
