I thought it was all about merit now?

Image of an X post by @RpsAgai... from Republicans against Trump, dated 1 day ago. The post highlights Madison Sheahan, the 28-year-old Deputy Director of ICE appointed by Kristi Noem, with a quote: "I absolutely think I'm qualified for the job. Because at the end of the day, what really makes anybody qualified for any job?" The post includes two photos: one of Madison Sheahan in a formal blazer and white shirt, smiling, and another of a person in an ICE police uniform with a tactical vest and cap.

When purging government agency watchdogs, "President Trump violated the [Inspector General Act]. That much is obvious."

But a federal judge found that there's nothing she can do at this time about that violation.

Checks and balances also matter. The US Senate has abdicated its responsibilities.

I think it’s people like you that pushed so many independents to vote Trump.

The last 24 hours have made clear that independent and pro-democracy media is more important than ever. I founded Democracy Docket in the crucible of 2020 to be just that.

Stephen Miran was confirmed for a posting to the Federal Reserve Board, despite not resigning as a White House economic advisor.

The Fed is designed to operate independently from partisan politics. This posting could threaten that independence.
