Today is #WorldDraculaDay, because the first edition of Dracula by Bram Stoker was published today in 1897. Dracula is said to be a role model for Stephen Miller, one of the ghouls who works for Donald Trump.

Dean Baker shared this: "Trump's new Bureau of Land Management director
is oil millionaire Steve Pearce, who:
— Does not believe National Parks should exist,
— Led rallies against protections for endangered species
— Illegally cut down trees in federal forests
— Made millions in donations from oil lobbyists
— Said Trump should be president forever just three days after the insurrection."

Sen. Thom Tillis (Republican) wisely wrote about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: "The careless decision to reduce our force posture in Europe, along with moves by Pete Hegseth to force out some of our finest general officers is amateur hour at best and deadly at worst. Hegseth continues to surprise and disrespect our greatest allies and some of our best military professionals with impulsive decisions not grounded in reality or good judgment":

Frank Conniff: "This morning, (FBI Director) Kash Patel will be briefed about what happened tonight while he was blackout drunk." #WorstCabinetEver #WHCA

Tommy Vietor: "It seems bad that our FBI Director is routinely drunk to the point of being unresponsive, that meetings have to be scheduled around his hangovers, and that he's erratic, suspicious of others, and prone to jumping to conclusions before he has necessary evidence."

According to Paul Rudnick, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent "told a reporter that Americans 'feel good about the economy in their hearts.' He added, 'Even on the unemployment line or at defunded food banks, everyone's smiling'." #humor #WorstCabinetEver

"The Department of Government Efficiency caused chaos in federal agencies by sacking, then sometimes rehiring employees without any evident rationale — and without making a serious dent in government spending.
