Trump administration 2024-2028

This is becoming almost cartoonish, now he doesn't want the States themselves to feed people. I'm starting to think the funds specifically set aside for SNAP for emergencies like a shutdown has been used illegally for something else.

Man all he needs is a moustache to twirl and he'd straight up be a bond villain.

The states aren't feeding people. What they did was apply for federal funding in the interval between the decision ordering the administration to release funds and the decision staying the former, and then program the funds into the accounts of card-holders. To the extent any of the people involved object to disparate outcomes, they just engineered a huge one - there was not enough money available for more than partial funding for those entitled, so passing along full funding to some means others must do with much less.

A shutdown isn't an emergency. It's a difficult situation, but it's foreseeable and avoidable. People can argue the details of whether the side opposing a clean CR is the bad guys, or its always Republicans that are the bad guys, but the side that elects to hold up a clean CR in order to extract spending cuts or increases is the side responsible for not avoiding the predictable outcome - they are the ones using the threat of shutdown as leverage.
 
Trump has issued a sweeping pardon to Giuliani, Meadows, Powell, Chesebro et al for their roles in the 2020 “fake electors” scheme to overturn the presidential election.

This pardon only has effect for federal prosecution, and none of them have been charged federally. If the derailed state prosecution in Georgia ever gets back on track this would have no impact, nor does it affect the convictions of those who already pled guilty there.

Doesn't a pardon also imply they did something illegal?

I thought a lot of those lawyers had been disbarred, but was for things like false claims, massive lies and other issues that were in at least some cases, libel, but nothing straight up illegal on the federal level (because the weird way they run their elections)

Depends who you ask, and in some cases when you asked them.

A number of the involved lawyers have been disbarred, yes. Some have also been criminally convicted at state level.
 

In honour of remembrance day.



Everything was set for the Navy officer to take over a new role that would have capped an already distinguished career— and made her the first woman in a Naval Special Warfare command overseeing Navy SEALs.

Ranked the top officer for promotion in her cohort, she received a Purple Heart after being injured in an IED attack during a combat tour in Iraq. She then became the first woman to serve with SEAL Team Six in the role of troop commander, one of several senior positions within the squadrons that make up the elite naval unit.

A formal ceremony marking her new position was planned for July. Invitations went out two months in advance.


But just two weeks before the ceremony, her command was abruptly canceled with little explanation, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation. The decision didn’t come through formal channels but by a series of phone calls from the Pentagon, one of the sources said. The circumstances were unusual and seemed designed to omit a paper trail, according to multiple sources.

Under the Navy’s “up or out” policy, with no command slot to take, the officer’s more than two-decade military career was effectively over.

As the news spread through the tightknit world of Naval Special Warfare, a consensus began to form: The command was likely yanked by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth because of the officer’s gender.

The command she was set to take over is closely aligned with recruiting for elite operations roles, including the Navy SEALs — and the impression those in the Naval Special Warfare community got from the Pentagon was that Hegseth did not want a woman fronting that role

It wouldn’t surprise me if it turns out they just opened up the hiring to Oathkeepers, Three Percenters and other Meal Team Six “militia” types. It kinda goes with the lowering of entrance and training standards to meet their dramatically increased recruitment targets.

I think their war-porn sizzle reels show they are aiming for a certain type of recruit.

Another possible reasons for the masks. Imagine the reaction from local police if they recognize someone known to them within ICE.
