So I'm wondering today how all the lawyers at firms that caved to Trumpโ€”and also Sullivan & Cromwell, which is representing him on his criminal appealโ€”are feeling about how things are going?

Are your salaries and draws worth it?

Pursuing A More Perfect Union
Hagmaier, Colt 
Mon 9/15/2025 1:06 PM

Friends,

This nation was once no more than idea. Courageous whispers of dangerous thinking; a wild experiment to organize and preserve government not by despotism or dynasty, but through the continued consent of the governed. Like a hardy willow, our Republic endures upon a trunk of federalism that is both fixed and flexible.

Unity, not unanimity, is our strength - we are not stymied by our differences, we are made resilient by channeling those differences into public good. Our words matter. We ought to choose them carefully, stand behind them, and offer them with empathy and kindness. My faith in our nation, like our liberties, is secured by strong, prudent, and principled democratic institutions. Institutions administered by public servants sworn to place that public good above their own. We persevere not because our Union is perfect, rather because we never stop pursuing a more perfect one - together.

That is what I see here at FEMA every day. Each of you sustaining the integrity and function of our federal government. You bring hope to the hopeless and relief to the suffering. Your work is never easy, rarely appreciated, and often misunderstood or mischaracterized, but it is essential. Not only to those benefiting from it, but to the fabric of who we are as a people and a reflection of the humanity that unites us. Your effort is purposeful, noble, and compassionate. It has been my life's honor to serve alongside you in this virtuous mission of helping our communities and neighbors in their times of need.

Now, it is time for me to start a new path away from federal service. This has been an incredibly difficult decision over which I have reflected, prayed, and temporized. I care immensely about FEMA's mission and for you who deliver it every day. I am blessed to have worked alongside so many passionate, hardworking, and talented people throughout my FEMA career.

Russian state TV praises Trump for being "perfectly aligned with Putin" in his second term.

It can't be any clearer then this that Trump is following Putin's orders to sell our country out.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Canada out negotiated Trump, likely in coordination with Mexico. Canada will now place 10,000 personnel (which they were already doing) at the border. They reinforced the border to protect from the US against a potential invasion and will now curb US drug and weapons traffickers. The US got nothing.

This is not getting enough traction. EU countries are demanding action against Russia for undermining the integrity of elections. This is a big deal.

They're trying to meddle in Canada and USA has sanctioned Russia for interference in 2024.

This needs much more coverage than it's getting.

It's not just a coup.

It's a coup being executed by white supremacists and Christofascists.

And Darren Beattie isn't merely some new minor functionaryโ€”he's been given what's considered one of the ten most powerful jobs at Foggy Bottom.
