It’s grift all the way down for these clowns.

Hell, a Man Show era Jimmy Kimmel who also did blackface would be in the cabinet.
I think I remember when it seemed that a president would very likely and quickly get impeached for ordering a murder… but honestly, I’m not sure anymore.
Mr. Trump is now not only a major crypto dealer; he is also the industry’s top policy maker. So far in his second term, Mr. Trump has leveraged his presidential powers in ways that have benefited the industry — and in some cases his own company — even though he had spent years deriding crypto as a haven for drug dealers and scammers.
“It’s not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the stupidity,” says Hillary Clinton. I am one of those saps who is more bothered by the hypocrisy. Hillary can’t afford to be, I suppose.

I have to hope that enough enthralled by fascism are not fascists
Jason Kottke quotes A.R. Moxon and follows-up with: Yeah, this is basically why I don’t waste time anymore railing against the many hypocrisies of conservatives — they’re not gotchas that you’re catching them in, they’re part of the domination.

USAID shutdown reportedly styming anti-human trafficking direct service efforts
I worked for nearly a decade with the organization that currently runs the National Human Trafficking Hotline. I do not know the current specific details, but I believe it and am saddened by this news. I and my team supported some efforts to engage with some of the international partners alluded to if not mentioned in this reporting. I have all kinds of feelings about the space (and Polaris's unfortunate support for some very flawed legislation in the US), and I do not have an uncritical view of USAID, but it pains me to understand the many ways people just trying to help people are being crippled, seized-up and disrupted.
