Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Many more to come including critical people whose names are not as well known. Having talked to most of the people thinking of leaving and those who have left like Josh Dawsey, I can tell you none so far has actually wanted to leave. They felt like they had zero choice given current management.

SAYING BYE TO BEZOS: The Washington Post has lost star reporter Josh Dawsey, who will exit Jeff Bezos' embattled newspaper for The Wall Street Journal. WaPo brass tried to retain Dawsey, I'm told, but he had already made up his mind. All the details in @status.news: link.status.news/4gFYU7T

Herschel Walker ambassador to the Bahamas, Kushner's Father ambassador to France. Huckabee ambassador to Israel and Guilioyle ambassador to Greece. One brain damage jock, one convicted felon, one Elmer Gantry and DJT JR's dumped tramp. The US state department is now a clown show. The USA is a joke..

Joe Rogan is the most incurious person who feigns curiosity

Renee DiResta@noupside.bsky.social

This guy worked for State Dept for ~2 months. He has no inside knowledge of anything he talks about, even as he claims he ‘watched a censorship regime grow from the inside.’ It’s all bullshit. And the absolute credulity displayed by Rogan here is why commentary & journalism aren’t the same.

i think this is right and i will observe that this is essentially the position the court took in plessy v. ferguson, which held that the constitution has no bearing on inequalities of social power

Garrett Epps@garrettepps.bsky.social

There is a stance I will call "Kavanaugh neutrality" that says the Constitution is "neutral" between vulnerable people and the power of the state and so we will watch and shrug while the vulnerable are beaten up in our presence. #Skrmetti

People have forgotten Clinton pardoned his half brother, Jimmy Carter pardoned his brother and George HW Bush granted clemency to his son, Neil. Lincoln pardoned a cousin of his wife. No need to even mention the long list Trump family members and associates receiving pardons.
