Really haven't paid attention ... do they usually 'The President' ... or it is normally 'President Trump'?

Nope. Stephen Colbert still owns a home in South Carolina and should take out Lindsey Graham.

You know, one of my favorite facts about Stephen Colbert is that he still owns a home in South Carolina and would make an awesome Senator for SC instead of Lindsey Graham.

You're right. Musk and his handful of inexperienced minions seem to be uploading untested and unsupervised AI with coding abilities into massive systems unlike anything in its training. Inevitably, there will be chaotic mayhem in ways we can't even begin to fathom. I hope they take your offer.

This executive order is tantamount to saying the Constitution and its rule of law do not apply to him.

In the document, he claims only he (and his AG, with his approval) can interpret law for the executive branch, which is patently false. He isn't trying to "dissolve" the judicial branch (yet). He is attempting to usurp its authority.

cbn2.bsky.social @cbn2.bsky.social · 19/02/2025
It still usurps the judicial branch's authority and is just flat-out wrong. He knows he can't win in court, so his pretense is that courts no longer matter.

If Trump insists on dumping the Constitution, the People should remind him that the Constitution is his sole source of authority. If Article III means nothing, neither does Article II, and he's nothing but a fat orange man sleeping in a house that belongs to us.

The policy lead for CDC's H5N1 response has abruptly resigned. Sources tell me CDC's response to the bird flu pandemic has been severely hobbled by the chaos of the past two weeks.
LinkedIn post: On January 24th I formally resigned from my position with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I started at CDC in 2010, and I have spent 20 years in public service, including my 15 years in service at the federal level. 

Here is a little bit of what I wrote in my resignation, because I'm not sure that anyone is actually going to read it. 

"I feel honored to be among the public health professionals that have had the privilege to work at CDC. As I reflect on my own experiences and accomplishments during my time here, I am humbled by the magnitude and the importance of our work. 

To my colleagues: we have worked together through chaos and uncertainty, transition, reorganization, preparation, and response. You are the most selfless, dedicated, and passionate people I know. I have watched you work around the clock, take additional details, deployments, and responsibilities, try to balance work and family, forego self-care, and keep pushing and work together to protect the public’s health. I’ve seen your sacrifice. I want you to know that your support and guidance has been invaluable, and I am proud of the work we have accomplished together."
 
While I was backing up files I found my oath that I signed in 2010. I believe in our work, and I am sad to be leaving federal service. But I have immense gratitude for all of the opportunities that I've had and the connections that I've made. 

I will continue to protect the public's health in a different capacity (stay tuned...) but for now, thank you for trusting me.

It really is incredible how much control Elon Musk has over US policy right now. Also, Rubio is pathetic.
Rubio announced he won't be attending the G20 summit in South Africa because it is "doing very bad things" which means land reform to undo historical white colonization and appropriation of property.

The rush to destroy things like USAID and other agencies before lawsuits can stop them is to make it moot. When our stupidly slow judicial system finally moves to stop them it will be far too late. If all 10,000 USAID employees are home and projects abandoned it’s done. It’s evil.
