He’s not a hero. He’s a dangerous warning that the far right may turn hard against Trump based on Iran war, to potentially dangerous effect.

From last week, if anyone thinks Joe Kent is some kind of hero for quitting his job at the Trump administration, he also has a long history of associating with extremists. This is excerpt from @pbsnews.org Hour where @elizlanders.bsky.social explains it in more detail.

Trump defanged all the regulators and fired all the inspectors so his cronies could loot the country.
Screenshot of a CBS News tweet reporting that financial experts are concerned about possible insider trading after a spike in oil futures trading shortly before Trump announced talks with Iran. The embedded image shows a female news anchor speaking on a program titled “The Takeout,” with a news ticker about oil traders betting ahead of Trump’s delay in attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure.

59% of Americans in this Pew poll say the U.S. was wrong to go to war with Iran, and 61% disapprove of Trump’s handling of the war. Yet 53% think the war is going at least somewhat well. That 53% apparently has not filled up a gas tank lately and does not mind blowing up foreign schoolgirls.

Most Americans say striking Iran was the wrong decision and disapprove of Trump's handling of the conflict, with stark partisan divides.

Seems to me that requiring proof of citizenship EACH TIME one votes stands the presumption of innocence on its head. Non-citizen voting is a felony. This requirement presumes guilt, and requires one to prove innocence. 🤔 It's not just unnecessary, it FEELS wrong.

Keep speaking up about warehouses being purchased by ICE. There’s no need for this type of rapid detention center build out. If there’s one near your community, call officials, let the people in the real estate transaction know this is unacceptable, and push for transparency

This Congressvarmint actually makes a point that I've made on multiple occasions: Republican policy is not right for NE Pennsylvania. Or living things, generally.
A highlighted passage from the story: 

Bresnahan won his election last year by about 1 percentage point. He was also one of just 20 House Republicans to sign a successful discharge petition earlier this month to force a vote for collective bargaining to be restored for federal workers.

“At the end of the day that might have been going against party leadership, but it was what’s right for northeastern Pennsylvania,” he told The Inquirer of the vote at the Pennsylvania Society last weekend.

Yet another instance of frozen funds. The Trump administration got the lesson from the last appropriations bill that they are not going to be meaningfully sanctioned for impounding funds. So they're going to keep doing it, as I wrote today. prospect.org/2025/12/17/c...
