The justice department people quitting over the Adams case are probably going to be replaced by people who are emblematic of forces they oppose and about which they have quit in protest.

Tough spot to be in. I don’t know what I would do. On the one hand quitting would be the easiest way to simultaneously throw up a middle finger and also get the eff out and go enjoy my life.   On the other hand, could create more resistance by saying and disrupting from within.  Justice department people can typically go make bank when they leave tho.

Staying doesn't really do any good if you have to do everything you are told to do, anyway.

Mass resignations used to be an alarm, but they really aren't anymore

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance.

Lawyers don’t have a lot options when faced with an ethical dilemma with their client. Quitting is pretty much the most you can do.

#blueanongE LOL’ing about something said 5 years ago.

While ignoring that their boy gave $3 billion plus in sensitive contracts to the person mentioned 5 years ago.

Is the most onbrand #blueanongE thing one could ever possibly imagine . . . ever

It’s just a huge slush fund so the politically connected can continue to wine and dine across the globe on the taxpayer dime

I’m looking forward to DOGE exposing all taxpayer expenses related to presidential golfing trips. When do you think we can expect that?

I don't think he can reverse the expenditures Obama made from 2008 to 2016.

It may not be true, but it's not that far-fetched to me that there are families out there collecting checks on dead family members, and the individual on whose behalf the money is being sent would be 150 years old if alive. 150 years old might be an exaggeration, but there were something like 19 million people born before 1920 with no death data on file at Social Security and 44,000 of them were collecting benefits still.

Sure thing and should include the weekly trips to  Delaware and the extended vacations in the Caribbean and Lake Tahoe etc etc for the previous POTUS. The mentally incapacitated President Full Lid (daily)

They didn't notice that basically everyone above age 100 was born on the exact same date 150 years ago. Incredibly sloppy at best.

Where has Musk called what they’re doing “high tech data science”?

Anyone who thinks that it’s out of the realm of possibility that SS is still sending money to people who have been dead for a very long time should be rounded up and laughed at with zeal.
