Not really a cowdog.
Well, well, well. It appears the executive branch appointed Amy Gleason as an “expert/consultant” to HHS on March 4, in an effort to bolster their claim that DOGE itself was not acting at HHS. This evidence of when she was appointed was made public via litigation. Full text at https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.277150/gov.uscourts.dcd.277150.65.1_1.pdf. Case is AFL-CIO v. Dep’t of Labor, docket at https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69613359/american-federation-of-labor-and-congress-of-industrial-organizations-v/
For more on why the timing of Gleason's "hiring" at HHS matters see https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/114186478619323488. #LawFedi

Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here remains a stunning portrayal of just how it can, and is in the public domain in Canada, so I can happily push this link, though of course do not visit or view the site if you're not in Canada, for Reasons. We can't go about having books about the rise of fascism distributed freely, after all.

It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis, from Project Gutenberg Canada

Toward the end of his tenure, Gen #MarkMilley, …chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 2019–2023, told #BobWoodward of WaPo that Donald #Trump was a fundamental threat to the safety & integrity of the #UnitedStates.

“No one has ever been as dangerous to this country as Donald Trump,” the general told Woodward. “Now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is the most dangerous person to this country.”

Let’s stop for a second.

Opinion | When the Top General in the U.S. Says You’re ‘Fascist to the Core’

This is no ordinary election, and we cannot act like it is.

@JamesGleick Based on his recent past, when has he taken an oath seriously?
@isleofmandan @BBCRD @BBC5Live @BBCRadio4 @BBCTaster @Connected_Studio @BBC_News_Labs I’ve really enjoyed following [email protected] and I engage a lot with their stories. Frankly, I forgot I’d followed some of these because they rarely post.

@treynunya1 @blogdiva This argument is so tiring. The Dems and Republicans have since switched places in many regards. Take a look at all the pictures of the Confederate flags flying next to the Trump flags- that is the most telling.
@blogdiva Don’t forget about applying for free/reduced lunches. Schools get more money to serve your children based on income level. That’s how we pay for after school tutoring and books in the classroom ( among other things).
@leaving_orbit @Teri_Kanefield No one really knows! It’s never happened in our country.
