A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo. Sign up for the email version. Worse Than The Saturday Night Massacre The mass resignations at the Justice Department mark the most serious crisis in its history, a darker moment than its previous low point during Watergate.

Can you imagine the DOJ parade of turds wincing over every proclamation from an adjudicated fraud and rapist.
The unseen gambit of capitalism: Capitulate or starve to death in the street.

I know people cannot choose their looks, but the dead eyes on this Bove character is so telling of the kind of monsters that Trump is using to become full fledged dictator.

So, apart from being a dribbling moron who has no idea what he’s saying, Hegseth is going to be great? SMH
Also did anyone expect anything different from Bondi and the DoJ? A continuation of Merrick Garlands norms, perhaps? Just waiting for the investigations into Fauci and Hunter Bidens

Bove is still Trump’s personal attorney, but now our taxes are paying for him instead of Trump’s supporters. So, I guess we are all Trump supporters now.

Interesting blog by Krugman on the general theme of “everything is staged everything is a lie”, the manipulation and suppression of critical data.
Anyone who says “But they wouldn’t do that!” has clearly been living under a rock the past few weeks. We’re already seeing efforts to suppress bad news about infectious disease. Why assume that the same can’t happen to bad news about inflation? I’m just waiting for the day when Elon Musk declares that everyone who works at the Bureau of Labor Statistics is a Marxist who hates America.
Which brings me to TIPS. These are U.S. government bonds whose future repayments are indexed to the Consumer Price Index, just like Social Security checks. So TIPS protect investors against future inflation, which can erode the purchasing power of ordinary bonds.
But let’s be more precise here: TIPS protect you against future inflation that the U.S. government admits is happening . That has never been an issue in the past, because despite claims from right-wing conspiracy theorists, America has never cooked its economic books.
But there’s a first time for everything.

They’re all dead in the eyes. Trump’s look like a bloated lizard. That freakshow press secretary particularly.
Eyes get like that when the inside of the head is generating a whole series of lies and projecting them on the inside.
Same on the cultists and the zealots and braindead devout. Watching their own movie, one conscience removed.

For the record, Mitch McConnell’s vote not to confirm RFKjr was clearly due to there being enough votes to confirm, even without that “vance” guy. Had it been close, or any Republican defections, Mitch would have lined up behind “no more polio vaccines again, ever” Robert.

From MM: U.S. Forest Service: Some 3,400 federal employees still within their probationary period purged across every level of the agency beginning yesterday.
Who, then, will sweep the forest floor?

Was thinking the same thing. Boy, morals and ethics have been so easy to sell out lately. (I imagine there are Mafia-style threats, too. ETTD.)
