Russ Vought, the most powerful person you’ve never heard of, Trump’s budget chief, the Project 2025 author who wants Congress powerless and spending totally partisan, is billing the CFPB $5M for his security after slashing its budget in half. Can’t make this up. www.govexec.com/management/2...

A critical victory: "A panel of federal judges in New Jersey on Tuesday blocked Alina Habba from staying in the job as the state’s interim U.S. attorney and instead invoked a rarely used power to select a candidate of their own to take over as the state’s top federal prosecutor."

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking. I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

Trump looks like an utter jackass. Marching soldiers like toys when a real war is going on. Attacking peaceful, productive Americans and dehumanizing them. Now an evil political assassination. He cannot and will not perform his job. Those who voted for him should forever hang their heads in shame.
