In the process, #Trump has blurred the personal & the political, making it difficult in some instances, like his targeting of #academic & #cultural institutions, to distinguish between his grievances & policy goals. [hint it’s all always about him, he couldn’t care less about policy]

@BobLefridge Can we hope the unintentional consequences will be the collapse of the oligarchs totalitarian world order? No amount of BS will allow the spawn of their fascist programme to hide while staking a claim to the value of reintroducing #DEI, so they can keep their Hydra’s creep show alive! #Forgiveness #Retribution #JustLessons #Fascist2025 #EndOfEmpires #NoWayOligarchsWW3 #JustDesert #TheFederationOfRepublics

During the campaign, T**** told his supporters:

"I am your #retribution."

...and vowed to go after his enemies. But after he was elected, he said he "wouldn't have time" to go after his enemies.

But since taking office, he's done almost nothing but. (4:03) #DisasterPresidency #MafiaDon

#USIP employees told WaPo that 200–300 people — nearly the entirety of USIP’s HQ staff — had been fired. The employees, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of #retribution from the #Trump admin, said some employees were offered severance & one additional month of health insurance, in exchange for their signatures to WAIVE their RIGHTS to sue.

Multiple sources at #FSA who could not speak publicly for fear of #retribution said they were blindsided by the news.

Logistical challenges aside, the role of the office of Federal #Student #Aid as the administrator of the #StudentLoan portfolio is protected by #law. It's not clear how these responsibilities could be #legally moved w/o a vote of #Congress. [not that #Trump cares]

“I worry because Trump’s hatred inspires the hatred of others, which could lead to violence. I worry because our courts are not equipped to handle widespread, politically motivated, spurious investigations and prosecutions.”

We must protect this man!

When #Tesla realized it was missing a crucial EPA certification it needed to qualify for the #loan days before Christmas, #Musk went straight to the top, urging then-EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to intervene, acc/to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of #retribution.

Nearly ⅔ of the $38B in funds have been promised to Musk’s businesses in the past 5yrs.

In 2024 alone, federal & local govts committed at least $6.3B to Musk’s companies, the highest total to date.

“As a result of *those actions*, we’re now going to be suspending & putting under review #security clearances for employees at that firm & holding people responsible,” Scharf said.

#Trump quipped that they would call the memo the “deranged Jack Smith signing,” invoking a pejorative he has frequently used to attack the former special counsel.
