Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.

What we have is an appropriations king.

Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

"Dismissal is probably the best result for the government, since it would spare the DOJ having its dirty laundry aired in court before getting spanked for having brought such a garbage case. But even so, it'd be very, very funny."

For everyone who suffered either directly or indirectly as a result of Margaret Thatcher and Thatcherism – literally hundreds of millions of people globally – this whitewashing or blue-rinsing of her legacy is 🤬

She destroyed communities. She destroyed lives. She oppressed society. She was evil.

Drag acts, detractors and true-blue diehards: my weird weekend at a Margaret Thatcher festival
