leave in 2025, with about $6.7 billion tied to the DOGE-era deferred resignation program. Call it “efficiency” if you want. The only result was fewer federal employees and a federal workforce dramatically reshaped by a corrupt administration.
U.S. GAO - Federal Workforce: Deferred Resignation Program Largely Responsible for Sixfold Increase in Paid Administrative Leave Salary Costs
Federal agencies can use paid administrative leave (excused absence with pay) for workforce flexibility. Agencies spent $9.5 billion on salary costs...

You'd think the fact that the son of the President of the "party of family values" 2nd marriage is to the daughter of Epstein's banker and it was funded by a Rusisan oligarch involved in the mass kidnap of Ukrainian kids during a KGB agent's illegal war
Would be bigger news..

Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional.
This is the first suit of its kind.

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

Samuel Alito flew flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the Jan 6 plot.
Both ruled in favor of Trump's mail-in ballot sabotage.
I don't think I'll ever get over this.

Today has just been another interesting day. Trump continues attacking the Supreme Court, including justices he personally appointed. Steve Bannon and Bernie Sanders somehow ended up at the same “Pro-Human” AI event.

Today would’ve been my father’s 95th birthday.
In search of a better life, he came to America with only $2.43 and a Korean-English dictionary. He had no friends or family here. Like many immigrants, he dreamt of the promise of what this country could offer.
Each day I work to honor his memory.

Today we saw some comments on the photos of the small cages the Trump administration used to hold immigrants in at its “detention centers.” The amount of mental gymnastics MAGA was doing to justify that kind of inhumane treatment was absurd.

have you noticed how the FBI and DOJ's line about every single ICE shooting is that "the investigation is ongoing" so they can't say anything? (Or hold anyone accountable.) Reminds of how Trump's tax audit was going on for years and years.
