(I know we’re still finding out more about the DC plane/helicopter crash, which is terrible, and our hearts go out to the victims and their families of course...oh, and how about if we remember this while we’re at it? In other words, if this had happened under Biden, our fourth estate would be screaming for impeachment by now.)
Update 1: As predictable as flatulence after indigestion (here).
Update 2: I would say that our former transportation secretary would have insight into this (here).
Chris Hayes gives us a rundown here on the confusion caused by Dear Orange Leader and his cruel and idiotic spending freeze, which of course caused widespread confusion...yep, all of this madness (cutting funding for Meals on Wheels and veterans suicide prevention, for example) is indeed right out of Project 2025 as Hayes rightly says; this is Mango Mussolini trying to inflict maximum pain and hardship in an effort to make our entire government, to say nothing of our lapdog media and legal institutions, bend to his twisted, corrupt will...I know I linked to the HuffPo article about this yesterday...
...and Brian Tyler Cohen gives us an update on the spending freeze, with Jessica Tarlov of Fix Noise giving a reality check to those cackling hyenas on her network...and yeah, this Karoline Leavitt person sends out a tweet causing still more confusion, leading to a judge ruling to unblock the OMB freeze (do we all have whiplash yet from this insanity?)...I know I’ve criticized Dems for being pretty supine while all of this chaos is raging, but someone else who deserves credit for standing up IMO is AOC, and I didn’t want that to go unmentioned...
...and Jesse Dollemore informs us of a brand new lie from this seedy bunch of grifters running the executive branch (in the person of the aformentioned Trumpette Karoline Leavitt), and that has to do with $50 million of condoms to Gaza...seriously (great job by Jesse to not just debunk this latest nonsense, but also to talk about how lies from Trumpworld get propagated by the wingnut echo chamber, and leave it to “the old gray lady” to say, “oh, Leavitt was resolute in her talking points,” or some such nonsense, as if that justifies this madness...mildly NSFW/H)...
...and I don’t have much to add to this man’s incredibly (but appropriate IMO) NSFW/H commentary...

...and I guess all of the Gropenfuhrer’s goofball Cabinet nominees have been confirmed by now, sadly, except “Brain Worms” RFK Jr. and “Tokyo Rose” Gabbard, but that doesn’t mean that it’s too late to push back against them anyway, as The Lincoln Project reminds us (and I'll cut Lincoln a little slack on the "competent mainstream conservatives" bit for now)...
...and I also guess this is another one of those songs I’m in the mood to hear at times like these (echoing the Lincoln Project clip) – I would ask the title of this tune to Trump supporters if I thought they were capable of coming up with an intelligent answer.
