Trump continues the sacking of Rome … I mean Washington. “Shred … documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break.”

U.S.A.I.D. Official Orders Employees to Shred or Burn Classified and Personnel Records (Gift Article)
A union representing career diplomats demanded that the aid agency follow the law stated in the Federal Records Act. Some documents could be relevant in court cases.

Please watch this Timelapse to visualize how little sense today’s “achievement” of having Ukraine to agree to ceasefire makes. The video begins in 2022, hence it doesn’t even show what happened in 2014-2022 in the video.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Since we caught onto the regime’s plan of selling these buildings to themselves and then leasing them back to the government, it’s seems the oligarchs have decided to be a little more subtle about their grift.

More than 50% of the mineral resources of Ukraine are in areas occupied by Russia. For the US to have a share of those, Putin would have to exit. Zelenskyy is a shrewd man. (Ignore the story date-revised hours ago) www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

At the behest of Wall Street donors, Congressional Republicans are trying to overturn the CFPB's new rule against predatory overdraft fees. The rule would have capped overdraft charges at $5, saving consumers $5B annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

Banks Approve of Republicans Increasing Bank Fees
A Biden-era CFPB rule limiting overdraft fees is under challenge, and lawmakers used bank lobbyists for their testimonials.
