I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

John… Yoo? John Yoo, author of the Busb torture memos. That John Yoo thinks a line has been crossed.

I’m not sure whether to be terrified or go full joker mode. Maybe a little of both
“.. There has to be a line between crime and war,” said John Yoo, a former deputy assistant attorney general under President George W. Bush.

this is probably the approach to take with those chucklefucks bsky.app/profile/busb...
Call your Democratic Senators tomorrow and tell them to put down their work on nominations until OMB withdraws its power grab on appropriations. No more nomines go through. None.

You can also look at the quote-dunks on this post that I originally replied to, which are a lot of "didn't you read Project 2025"
*Even if you closely read Project 2025 there was a bunch of stuff that happened that was not in there*

This. This administration is even worse than any of us thought possible. Who had destroy NIH, CDC, USAID, EPA, scientific research all at the same time on their bingo card?
My thesis is that no matter how doomer you were in Nov. 2024, we're probably past your worst-case scenario for the first 9 months of this administration.

It's very strange for me to realize I wasn't pessimistic enough.

So for the people who are doing random pile-ons, I have known since Trump's arrival on the political scene that he would be a disaster. I was not sanguine that a second term would be good. It was always going to be terrible. It is much worse. Cutting basic science to own the libs. That's surprising.

Having worked at the Pentagon on climate change, most of the programming is intended to make US bases resilient to climate impacts. Many of them are quite vulnerable!

The combatant commands' work on climate was about how to prepare for the destabilizing impacts of climate in their regions.
Pete Hegseth tells reporters he welcomes Elon Musk and DOGE to the Pentagon, because there is waste that needs to be addressed. Like DOD climate programs.

"The Defense Dept is not in the business of climate change, solving the global thermostat. We're in the business of deterring and winning wars."
