Four federal judges have now ruled against Trump's executive orders targeting law firms, blocking his attempts to punish them for their client representations or past associations.

Does anyone really believe that the fat orange blob give a sit about any average American? All he cares about is money and making sure his rich friends are making money. He will destroy D moray and he doesn’t give one shit about us.

PUSHBACK‼️ “I recommend that you reach out to White House Counsel to discuss your intended course of action. At this point, we do not believe the actions taken are legally sufficient to dismiss Presidentially Appointed, Senate Confirmed Inspectors General.”
COUNCIL OF THE INSPECTORS GENERAL ON INTEGRITY AND EFFICIENCY
January 24, 2025
Mr. Sergio Gor
Director of Presidential Personnel
The White House
Dear Mr. Gor:
I am writing in response to your email sent to me and other Inspectors General earlier this evening wherein you informed each of us that "due to changing priorities, your position as Inspector General ... is terminated, effective immediately."
As Chairperson of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), I recommend that you reach out to White House Counsel to discuss your intended course of action. At this point, we do not believe the actions taken are legally sufficient to dismiss Presidentially Appointed, Senate Confirmed Inspectors General.
Specifically, based upon the 2022 amendments to the Inspector General Act of 1978, the President must notify Congress 30 days prior to removal of an IG and provide "substantive rationale, including detailed and case-specific reasons" for such removal. 5 U.S.C. § 403(b), as amended by the section 5202(a) of the Securing Inspector General Independence Act of 2022 (Title LII, Subtitle A, of P.L. 117-263, 136 Stat. 2395, 3222). The requirement to provide the substantive rationale, including detailed and case specific reasons, was added to better enable Congress to engage on and respond to a proposed removal of an Inspector General in order to protect the independence of Inspectors General.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at Hannibal. Ware@sba.gov.
Sincerely,
Hannibal "Mike" Ware
CIGIE Chairperson

Want a great slogan for midterms? "If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you " You get the point. FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation. The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ? Suggestions ?

how it started / how it’s going
on June 9 2024 dopey dipshit @JoeyMannarinoUS blurped: 

Hate speech is free speech.
Misinformation is free speech.
There are no definitions of those things that can be clearly defined without inherent bias.
Every human will inherently have a different definition of hate speech.
Therefore, shutting people down for hate speech and misinformation is inherently wrong.on December 6 2024 dopey dipshit @JoeyMannarinoUS quoted someone who joked he’s the United Healthcare CEO’s shooter and blurped: 

How is this allowed?
This can get me killed.

As much as MAGA wants to make it so, Hunter wasn’t pardoned for anything related to their fantasy that Joe got money from Ukraine. Comer held years of hearings on it and wouldn’t even hold a vote on it because he knew it would fail. Don’t let them rewrite the history of this too.
