Husband of Tony Gonzales aide who killed herself breaks silence about affair Adrian Aviles says Gonzales acted irresponsibly in becoming romantically involved with a subordinate. He says he wants accountability, not an apology.

Under normal circumstances, Tony Gonzales would already have to resign. But because Mike Johnson has only 218 seats, he won't. #TX23

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Republican Expressions of Concern Already Turning Back Around - The American Prospect All the Trump administration had to do was send Tom Homan to Minnesota.

Stories of Republicans expressing "concern" about ICE after the murder of Alex Pretti are already out of date. Sending Tom Homan (srsly) to Minnesota is being regarded as a statesmanlike olive branch. If GOP lawmakers want to actually show concern they have to condition the funding. From me:

We’re being governed by belligerently ignorant people

I literally jumped a car today as a rapid responder! We found an abandoned truck, were scared it was a “ghost car” of an abductee, then a guy came out and said his battery did in the cold. So we got that thing running. Looks like we got this covered, ICE. Your services are NOT required.

Anyone who has studied history enough to recognize the playbook—and isn’t ideologically captured—knows what’s been going on here, and that’s why they’ve been sounding the alarms for a long time.

I urge us all to study history now, to read and to learn and to fight back.

DOGE Quietly Deletes the 5 Biggest Spending Cuts It Celebrated Last Week (Gift Article) The cuts, highlighted on an earlier version of the “wall of receipts” posted by Elon Musk’s team, contained mistakes that vastly inflated the amount of money saved.

DOGE website reveals shock trail of waste, fraud and abuse, although not quite as intended.

SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!
THIS ONE’S FOR YOU PHILLY!

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.

Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

It’s been 10 days since the January 6 pardons.

And people with disabilities.

Unfortunately, I think this just potentially became a BIG story after Trump’s bizarre rant today baselessly accusing disability hiring preference of causing the tragedy.

Official Portrait of Jimmy Carter, followed by the text: Jimmy Carter 39th President of the United States: 1977-1981 Executive Order 12125 — Competitive Status for Handicapped Federal Employees March 15, 1979 By the authority vested in me as President of the United States of America by Sections 3301 and 3302 of Title 5 of the United States Code, and in order to permit severely physically handicapped and mentally retarded individuals to obtain civil service competitive status, Civil Service Rule 3.1 (5 CFR 3.1) is hereby amended by adding the following new subsection: “(b) Upon recommendation by the employing agency, and subject to such requirements as the Office of Personnel Management may prescribe, the following classes of handicapped employees may acquire competitive status without competitive examination: (1) A severely physically handicapped employee who completes at least two years of satisfactory service in a position exempted from the competitive service. (2) A mentally retarded employer who completes at least two years of satisfactory service in a position exempted from the competitive service.” JIMMY CARTER The White House

Screenshot of an EEOC.gov website with the following text: Frequently Asked Questions Q1. How do I know if I have a disability which would allow me to be eligible for hiring under Schedule A? A1. The Schedule A regulations specify that a person must have an intellectual disability, a severe physical disability, or a psychiatric disability to be eligible to be hired through Schedule A. The regulations do not specifically include or exclude particular disabilities under those three categories of disabilities. Remember, to determine eligibility, you must submit proof of disability documentation from: - Your doctor; - A licensed medical professional; - A licensed rehabilitation professional; or - Any federal, state, District of Columbia, or U.S. territory agency that issues or provides disability benefits. The Department of Labor’s Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP) has also identified some questions that may be helpful in determining your eligibility under Schedule A.

Speaking of this Eric, have you heard whether the Admin has rescinded/intends to rescind E.O. 12125 (establishing “Schedule A” affirmative action for people w/ disabilities in Fed hiring)?

I didn’t see it specified in the list of EO recissions, but wasn’t sure if it’d be affected by the anti-AA EO?

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.

Also,
