I love all my cloth children equally, but for today let's go with any of the three times I was Batman.

Me, age 9, as a Michael Keaton-style Batman

Me, age 22, as...Jesus, I don't even know what kind of Batman this qualifies as

The Trump administration has fired over 4,000 federal workers since the government shutdown began — firings that are likely illegal.

Trump administration says 4,108 workers have been fired since shutdown began

The number of U.S. federal worker layoffs as a result of the government shutdown was revised downward on Tuesday, suggesting the administration's initial statement about sweeping job cuts was too ambitious.

Correcting this: it is $28 billon in funds cancelled in blue states, not $18 billion. So 1.5 Milei bailouts. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-shutdo...

Trump has cancelled $18B of spending in blue states. He fired more than 4,000 federal employees the same day he sent $20B to Argentina. He is propping up the government of the guy on the left, while firing government officials working for the guy on the right. But those employees also work for us!

I know the temptation is to just scroll past this with a “not surprised” reaction, but you should read this if you have the emotional bandwidth to encounter horrifying slurs and violent sentiments, because there’s an important takeaway: extremism is often performed to reinforce an in-group’s bond.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
