I wish writers would stop using “the government” and use instead the illegitimate body “the Musk/Trump Administration” when reporting on actions they are taking. Even “administration” is stretching it, but it is closer to truth than government.
After writing one of my reps about not confirming ANY of Trump's picks, his office's response actually, mindblowingly said that some of his picks seem qualified. To which, I must ask, "WHO??!?"
"Last night, Hochul was asked whether she would remove Adams and didn’t say no."
Hochul should not remove Adams because, if she does, he will be of no further use to the Musk regime. He needs to remain in place as Mayor so that when Pam Bondi eventually finds her corrupt underling to submit a request to the court asking to allow the DOJ to drop the charges, the judge can initiate an investigation into the matters Danielle Sassoon brought to light in her resignation letter. Emil Bove's conflict of interest, complicity, destruction of evidence and obstruction, plus the corrupt nature of this entire "Dismissal without prejudice."
Hopefully Governor Kathy Hochul (D) can see that removing Adam's would be a massive political faux pas and own-goal which would make all potential blowback against the Rebublicans evaporate.
You, sir, are the pun-dit of pundits; your ravaging word play delights us readers as you inform us of all the ravages of the current mis-administration. We are doubly ravaged. If there were a George Carlin Award for humorously describing being f*cked, I'd nominate you!
For example: "Forests for the treason" ... "Trump Makes Series of Cuts to Alphabe" threw me off until I noted all the missing T's that followed ... and multiple examples of this: "Exempt from the Forest Service cuts are firefighters, bridge inspectors, meteorologists in charge of predicting avalanches, and law enforcement. The cuts instead focus on the people who make it possible for their colleagues to fight fires, inspect bridges, and predict avalanches."
It led me to wondering if the trigger that finally kicks off the mass uprising might be the inadvertent result of a runaway DOGE AI script deleting everywhere Tomatoes from the menu of my, and "everyone's" favorite sandwich.
Katie, you're very kind with your feedback. Thank you. There's no higher compliment than being sentenced with George Carlin. Or even paragraphed. (Humblebrag: I met and got to chat with him once when he was a guest on Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann. We stayed in touch via email and, adorably enough, he sent me the CORNIEST jokes!)
TFN Doppler 3000 radar is still working like a champ…you may have Monday off Jonathan, the chaos monkeys will unfortunately still be around by Tuesday.
Given the stated aims of project 2025 and the vetting exercise that spawned from that over the last 18 months or so, this is not about staff reduction. It is about staff replacement. With correctly thinking people. Autogolpe
Wake me when this excuse leaks from the WH. I'm sure it or a first cousin is already penned: "We're saving the forests from the rakists. All of them. Biden said he loved the trees. But he failed to lock up any of the perverted, woke, tree-hugging, rakists."

Why are we voting to confirm any of them? Do the democrats not see that we need to fight all of this with every tool we have?

Should it says "Sanders" (not the T-word) in the last sentence of Quickie #2?
Nope, Bacon claimed Trump felt that way, too!
These people are astounding, shameless.
With all of these layoffs, I'm assuming we'll see an uptick in the unemployment rate next month?? Or will that data now be suppressed?
I think there are too many external assessments for that to fly. Plus you’d likely get whistleblowers in Labor.

Re: (gigantic air quotes) Presidents (gigantic air quotes) Day. This is from the National Weather Service NOAA/NWS:
Why Do NWS Forecasts Reference "Washington's Birthday" Instead of "Presidents Day?"

Let's be like NWS/NOAA
Love it, thanks. On the other hand, what do I call the Gulf of Mexico...?
The Gulf of Mexico, por favor.

Kudos, guy. I bow before you: https://tenor.com/view/bow-waynes-world-praising-gif-13349501

Bards of a feather ....
Chef's kiss.
Convict trump joyfully axing large chunks of Government staff is akin to what a serial ax murderer might do... and feel.

Hi! Thanks for your excellent reporting and analysis. That’s actually Gov Jerry Brown and Lt Gov Newsome in the 2018 photo with trump.
Thanks, Lisa. I've corrected and noted my mistake. I appreciate you flagging it.
Happy Black History Month!
And many moooore...
