#FBI investigating #Trump claims of #EPA *fraud* in $20B #Biden grant fund
While career prosecutors in 2 US Atty offices & a US judge balked at a court-ordered freeze, #Citibank has locked down billions without explanation
FBI agents this week questioned EPA employees regarding a Biden admin grant program for #climate & #CleanEnergy projects, escalating a #criminal probe that already caused one veteran prosecutor to resign [#DeniseCheung]….

“Example: #JasmineCrockett is one of 10 (max) #Democrats who understands how to do #partisanship, and do #politics, and perform it, especially in this day and age … Hop to it.” - #EmmaVigeland #MajorityReport
"These #partisan #witchhunts and #firings need to stop. Congress creates independent agencies and insulates #civilservants from partisan firings for a reason.
If this week’s actions become the new normal—and #partisanship becomes the only criteria for holding a position in a #federalagency—then our financial markets will be more volatile, our consumer products more hazardous, our skies more dangerous, and our civil liberties and constitutional rights less secure."

When the history books are written, the two men held most responsible for the fall of #us #democracy will be #Newtgingrich and #mitchoconnell. Gingrich for abandoning #partisanship for power and O'Connell for breaking house conventions in the #senate. I do not see #Trump as responsible as, a non-functioning adult, he has no agency. He is a sympton of a broken system.
A good #explainer video about the #lies, coded #language, #populist #rhetoric and overt #partisanship that can be found in the #Zuckerberg announcement. It's all about #Meta abandoning #factchecking and aligning itself with the #Trump administration in order to get help curbing #regulation and destroying their #competition.

I have zero sympathy for #JohnRoberts and frankly, I find this article too kind to him
"Pace Law School Professor Bennett Gershman said Roberts has found himself alone, and found the task of finding compromises among far right-wing, conservative and liberal justices on the court “virtually impossible.”...Gershman said that Roberts is aware that the court’s “public reputation and perception of legitimacy is the lowest in history.”
Salon.com · “He is alone”: Experts say "extreme" ruling shows John Roberts has "lost his authority" over SCOTUSNew report shows Roberts' immunity ruling was "incoherent" and "manufactured," legal scholars told Salon.

The joint #KamalaHarris & #LizCheney appearance is one of the starkest examples of how VP #Harris hopes to be a unifying president who values #pragmatism over #partisanship. “You may not have supported a Democrat for president before,” Harris said to #Cheney, “but as you have also said, we both love our country, & we revere our democratic ideals.”

The implication is clear. Under a #TrumpPresidency, states and regions that voted for him get #disasterRelief, and public funds while states and regions that vote #Democrat can pound sand. This is a horrific circumstance that links #federalAssistance with #partisanship. This man simply cannot be #president.

kai arzheimer · Expansion of Education Slows Down Partisan Dealignment in Germany (2) - kai arzheimerWhy is partisan dealignment slowing down in Germany?
