“This workforce has been fundamentally traumatized in the way that this leadership team said that they intended to do at the outset,”
Max Stier, Partnership for Public Service’s CEO, told Government Executive.
“That’s not good for anyone. It’s bad for the workforce, it’s fundamentally bad for the American people, and it will lead to us to be less safe, healthy and prosperous as a society.
The things that we want and need from government are not what we’ll get.”
The su…

“Vertical morality teaches that authority, power and a moral code of right and wrong, or acceptable and unacceptable, come from ‘above’ ― an external superior who designates rules, systems and tenets that must be obeyed by those beneath,” said Tia Levings, a former Christian fundamentalist and author of “A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy.”
In the context of religion, the superior is God. In politics, it might be an authoritarian dictator. In a cult, it would be t…

“That combination makes Hormuz not merely an energy chokepoint, but one of the most concentrated nutrient chokepoints in the global food system.”

Donald Trump’s Save America PAC
— the vehicle he uses to pay legal bills
— is nearly $500,000 in the red,
while owing roughly $1.6 million to a roster of 12 different law firms.

He famously pulled the rug out from Rudy Giuliani after Rudy devoted his entire post-mayoral career,

Decades of vendors, contractors, and attorn…

The corruption of the Trump Administration remains so massive
while also being so obvious
that people just don’t know what to do.
If Kushner was merely shaking someone down for $5,000 using his government role, there’d be an outcry.
