Hegseth's Crimes and Noem's Defiance of the Courts Undermine America

Dec 1, 2025 | While Pete Hegseth commits murder in international waters, Kristi Noem continues to spew propaganda on TV and defy court orders. Steve Schmidt reacts to the unlawful actions of Trump's goons and explains why the American people need to take action.

The Trump administration in its entirety is a nightmare and a disaster. I suppose it is what is to be expected when you put unqualified, inexperienced, greedy, cruel, corrupt crooks and criminals in charge of your country’s government. At this rate, the world will be lucky to avoid a world conflagration. Lunatics are now in charge of the asylum! — © Mark Alexander

Defying Congress, Trump Moves to Cut $4.9 Billion in Foreign Aid

THE NEW YORK TIMES: The White House notified Congress that it plans to use a legally untested maneuver to circumvent lawmakers and claw back more money for foreign aid programs.

The White House has informed Congress it intends to cancel $4.9 billion that lawmakers approved for foreign aid programs, invoking a little-known and legally untested power to slash spending without their approval.

The 15-page notification, sent to Congress on Thursday night and reviewed by The New York Times, is the administration’s first effort to push through what is known as a “pocket rescission.” It is an effort to unilaterally claw back money that has already been appropriated by waiting so late in the fiscal year to make the request that lawmakers do not have time to reject it before the funding expires.

The fiscal year ends on Sept. 30, before the 45-day period in which Congress is required to consider a rescission request from the White House. Republicans could bring the matter to a vote sooner, but party leaders have shown little appetite for resisting the president’s spending demands and asserting their own prerogatives.

The move, the latest chapter in an intensive fight between Mr. Trump and Congress over spending powers, drew swift condemnation from the top Republican on the Appropriations Committee, who called it illegal. » | Catie Edmondson | Friday, August 29, 2025

CDC Erupts in Chaos after Ousted Chief Susan Monarez Refuses to Resign

THE GUARDIAN: Lawyers for Monarez say she was ‘targeted’ for ‘protecting the public’ by not endorsing ‘unscientific’ orders

The US’s top public health agency was plunged into chaos on Wednesday after the Trump administration moved to oust its leader Susan Monarez, sworn in less than a month ago, as her lawyers said she would not resign and that she was being “targeted” for her pro-science stance.

Monarez, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), was ousted on Wednesday evening, according to a statement from Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that offered no explanation its decision.

“Susan Monarez is no longer director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We thank her for her dedicated service to the American people,” HHS said in an unsigned statement posted to social media. Her lawyers pushed back in a statement, saying she had “neither resigned nor received notification” from the White House of her termination.

Monarez, who was confirmed by the Senate just last month, appeared to have run afoul of Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US health secretary, after she declined to support sweeping changes to US vaccine policies, according to reporting from the Washington Post and the New York Times. » | Robert Mackey | Thursday, August 28, 2025

Why Trump Built a Staff of Incompetent Sycophants

THE GUARDIAN — OPINION: Leaders who value loyalty above all else have a symbiotic relationship with those unable to succeed on their own merits

Last week, Trump officials reportedly left behind documents describing confidential planning for the Trump-Putin meeting in a public area of an Alaskan hotel.

That’s nothing compared with the actions of Emil Bove, Trump’s new nominee for the US court of appeals for the third circuit, who reputedly told subordinates at the Department of Justice that they should “consider telling the courts ‘fuck you’” and ignoring any court order blocking a planned deportation flight.

Then there’s Billy Long, a former auctioneer and Republican congressman who Trump nominated and was confirmed less than two months ago to head the Internal Revenue Service, with “little background in tax policy beyond promoting a fraud-riddled tax credit”. Long has already been fired after clashing with the treasury secretary, Scott Bessent. Long was the sixth person to head the IRS this year.

Let’s not forget EJ Antoni, whom Trump just nominated to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics after firing former chief Erika McEntarfer for presiding over a disappointing jobs report earlier this month.

Antoni is that rarity who has drawn harsh criticism from economists on the right as well as the mainstream for being ignorant, unprincipled and incompetent. He recently celebrated that “all net job growth over the last year went to native-born Americans”.

I haven’t even mentioned the towering ineptitude of Trump’s cabinet picks, such as Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Robert F Kennedy Jr and Kristi Noem. » | Robert Reich | Monday, August 25, 2025

Jul 19, 2025 | Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil was arrested by US immigration agents on 8 March.

Democracy Now! "Grand Theft Government": Federal Workers Send SOS over Musk's DOGE, Mass Firings & Service Cuts

Feb 20, 2025 | Amid the indiscriminate dismantling of the federal government by the Trump administration's Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, federal workers, thousands of whom could lose their jobs, are fighting back. "All of us do something not only essential, but also mandated by Congress," says union organizer and Army Corps of Engineers employee Chris Dols. Dols is part of a growing movement of federal workers and their allies staging mass protests to "Save Our Services" and warning of the long-term consequences of these extreme cuts to the bureaucracy. "They're trying to immiserate the working class, and they're doing it through the federal workforce," says Dols, who is also a national coordinator with the Federal Unionists Network. "It's about gutting the services that create a safety net in this country, because the more miserable we are, the easier it is for them to exploit us." He calls on the larger public to join the worker-led movement resisting these radical cuts. "The whole public sphere is at stake."

It seems pretty clear to me that Trump, Musk and henchmen are making a bloody mess of the American economy. This is all going to end in tears for so, so many people. The only ones who will be laughing are those that will profit handsomely from this, and they will be laughing all the way to the bank! America is in the process of being gutted and ruined. These people should be in jail, not allowed to be free to vandalise the economy like this, and ruin people’s lives. – © Mark Alexander

As Trump Broadens Crackdown, Focus Expands to Legal Immigrants and Tourists

THE NEW YORK TIMES: U.S. border officials are using more aggressive tactics at ports of entry as the administration scrutinizes green card and visa holders who have expressed opposition to its policies.

U.S. immigration agents wearing masks arrested a Georgetown University academic outside his home in Virginia. They detained two German tourists for weeks when they tried to enter the country legally through the southern border. They knocked on doors at Columbia University apartments, searching for pro-Palestinian protesters.

The Trump administration has opened a new phase in its immigration agenda, one that goes well beyond the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants.

U.S. border officials are using more aggressive tactics, which the administration calls “enhanced vetting,” at ports of entry to the United States, prompting American allies like Germany to update their travel advisories. At the same, the administration is targeting legal immigrants who have expressed views that the government believes threaten national security and undermine foreign policy.

The tactics have unnerved foreign tourists and sent a chill through immigrant communities in the United States, who say they are being targeted for speech — not for breaking any laws. » | Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Tyler Pager and Hamed Aleaziz | Zolan Kanno-Youngs and Hamed Aleaziz reported from Washington, and Tyler Pager from New York. | Friday, March 21, 2025

Trump Supporters Silent as Chilling Videos Emerge

Mar 19, 2025 | Trump supporters silent as chilling videos emerge

We’re not even two months into the second Trump administration, and already it’s defied the US Constitution, placed the President above any restraint or reproach, and eroded civil liberties, says news.com.au's US politics reporter Sam Clench.

Earlier this week, the Trump administration published a video of alleged criminals being sent overseas to El Salvador, despite no evidence that they are proven gang members.

Meanwhile, Trump's supporters and conservative "free speech" advocates have gone silent.

For all the talk of slippery slopes, this is one they're not willing to talk about.

Jesse Dollemore: Donald Trump Press Secretary Demands Gratitude from France that They Don't Speak German!

Mar 18, 2025 | Jesse talks about certified dummy Karoline Leavitt and her ridiculous assertion that the people of France should be grateful to the United States that they're not speaking German after Hitler's occupation of the country in the last century. She said, "And, my advice to that unnamed low-level French politician would be to remind them that it's only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now. So, they should be very grateful to our great country." Jesse gives Leavitt a much-needed history lesson straight from American history related to the immense assistance the French gave us in the founding of our own nation.
