Trump's latest milestone: Forcing more than 211,000 people out of their federal jobs since January.

A near-decimation of the federal workforce in nine months.

“He is, in essence, taking our government to bankruptcy.” huffpost.com/entry/trump-fe…
Partnership for Public Service, a good government group, has been tracking all the people that Trump has forced out of federal jobs in his 2nd term.

In the last month, 10,295 more people have left, either because of layoffs or by choice amid demoralizing work conditions.
So who left in the last month?

Most were forced out when Trump arbitrarily cut their jobs at the Commerce, Treasury, Education, Housing and Urban Development + Homeland Security depts.

Some were cut by DOJ's Executive Office of Immigration Review

Some retired early at DOD.

Pay attention folks. The nonsensical language Mike Johnson is intentionally, increasingly, repeatedly using to try smear the "No Kings" peaceful protests set for Saturday -- rallies protesting Trump's authoritarianism -- is straight out of the authoritarian playbook.
"Classic authoritarianism,” Stanislav Vysotsky, an expert on anti-fascism activism, said of Johnson's rhetoric.

“It’s an intentional framing of the opposition as violent and dangerous in order to dehumanize them, which then justifies a violent crackdown." huffpost.com/entry/no-kings…
Vysotsky noted that the specific language Johnson keeps using is particularly interesting, as he “manages to hit all of the recent boogeymen of the right: antifa, Hamas (code for opposition to the genocide of Palestinians) and the tried-and-true Marxists.”

Situation in DC, on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no agency ID'd -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.

BIG crowd shouting at police.

"Fuck you!"

"What is wrong with you!"

"You don't need to terrorize people like this!"
People loudly jeering these unidentified federal agents.

"You're not helping anyone!"

"How much overtime are you getting paid to do nothing!"

"Boooo!" Image
Tense scene out here. People booing and shaming unidentified federal law enforcement as they stand in the middle of the street, posted to pull people over for random checks.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) has deleted all three of his tweets from his personal account that mocked and fanned conspiracies about the assassination of Minnesota Democrat state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband.
MORE: Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) has deleted a series of depraved tweets he posted after a gunman sought out and assassinated a Minnesota Democratic legislator and her husband over the weekend.

But Lee left some other disturbing posts up. huffpost.com/entry/mke-lee-…
Lee told @MattLaslo he deleted his cruel posts, three days later, after talking to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) earlier today.

In the entirety of Biden’s presidency, there was no judicial nominee who endured more partisan ugliness and cruelty than Adeel Mangi.

He was an objectively impressive + qualified pick. He was also Muslim.

So GOPers subjected him to a disgusting monthslong smear campaign. (1/x)
Biden picked Mangi, a veteran civil litigator, for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit.

He checked all the boxes for a solid court pick.

Unanimously rated “well qualified” by ABA. Hailed for legal and pro bono work. Endorsements from lots of groups. (2/x)
If Mangi had been confirmed, in addition to all his credentials, he would have been the first Muslim U.S. appeals court judge.

But from the start of Mangi’s nomination process, Republican senators subjected him to deeply offensive, dark attacks. (3/x)
