Good riddance to Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who acted as a real loser because, I assume, her Dear Loser Trump told that he wanted to "prove" something, which is only that he still hasn't pushed out certain DUI hires (Hegseth and many more!) and cheaters (himself and many more!). I wonder why that is...
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is out amid allegations she used staff to plan personal trips, had an affair with a subordinate, and drank on the job.
Also on her watch: the US canceled grants that helped reduce child labor worldwide by 78 million people.
Some labor champion.

FLASH: Kash Patel files $250 million defamation lawsuit against the Atlantic
Patel claims "Defendants published the Article w/ actual malice, despite being expressly warned, hours before publication, that the central allegations were categorically false"

Discovery is going to be interesting
29. In fact, Defendants ignored their own politices and procedures, rushing the story to print without substantively fact-checking the allegations or giving Director Patel a meaningful opportunity to respond—all to publish before the truth could be exposed and derail the Article. [I have put a pink rectangle around the word spelled, "politices."]
Nothing like misspelling a word in the ¶ accusing The Atlantic of failing to take enough time to fact check an article.
[Kash has submitted a new version, and used the opportunity to dox Fitzpatrick's address.]
ICE detained the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. First Class after she showed up for an immigration appointment in 📍 El Paso—then still threatened removal despite legal protections.
Her husband (27 years active duty) said it plainly: ICE is out of control.
Jeffries on Kash Patel: "We have to stop putting all the blame on the people who nominated this incompetent, toxic, malignant individual. What about the people who confirmed him? It's extraordinary to me that Senate Republican confirmed people like Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Patel."
TODAY: Alito and Thomas say they aren't retiring this year, the DOJ is demanding ballots in Detroit from the 2024 election, and Trump is in talks with himself to award himself $10B in taxpayer money. Free to listen and subscribe: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer just resigned. She retaliated against women who reported her husband for sexual misconduct, made staff clean her personal closet, drank on the job.
That’s the third Trump cabinet secretary out since January. All three were women.🧐
A five-times draft dodger is running the war.
A six-times bankrupter is running the economy.
What could go wrong?
#25th Amendment NOW!!!!

We’ve hit a point in the news cycle where trump can no longer move people around to make it look like no one’s been fired
Now it’s Robert’s wife making millions? This kind of undisclosed financial entanglement (bribes? Commissions?) with law firms that appear before the Court deepens concerns that the Supreme Court has a systemic ethics problem, with too much self-policing. No oversight! #Pinks
Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.
Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”
and handing politicians more control over which species get protected. These changes would weaken the ESA at every stage slower listings, faster delisting before recovery is real, and less accountability. Please call your Reps: (202) 224-3121
H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,
