How Dumb Can He Get?
“President Trump ordered a review of all federal aviation hiring and safety decisions in response to Wednesday night’s deadly air collision near Washington,” Axios reports.
“The order shows Trump is doubling down on his claim, without evidence, that DEI policies were a factor in the crash.”
“His memo explicitly mentions “diversity equity and inclusion,” and reflects how anti-DEI efforts are a centerpiece of his second administration’s policy.”

Important Note — Bluesky vs Twitter
Now that Markos has recently enabled image embeds on DK from Bluesky, I’ll use it to post as many editorial cartoons from Bluesky in this diary.
Most editorial cartoonists are still on Twitter; several on both platforms. Until such time, all editorial cartoonists move to Bluesky, I’ll use both sources for the diary.

Unfortunately, it seems likely that the Roberts Court—which has an established record of twisting legal precedent to accommodate Trump’s authoritarianism—will, if given the opportunity, once again rubber-stamp a travesty and leave a permanent stain on the court. 30/30 [Ann Telnaes cartoon]

The Current Political Climate

The Dangerous Clown Show Comes to Washington, DC
Jonathan Bernstein: “I think everyone who pays attention knows one of the reasons to expect Donald Trump’s presidency to have trouble governing. The president himself is deeply ignorant and resists learning anything. That was most obviously true at the beginning of the pandemic, but it’s constantly causing him trouble, whether it’s on tariffs or NATO or pretty much anything else. He (thinks he) knows what he knows, and he doesn’t want to hear anything to the contrary. That’s pretty obviously a potential source of all sorts of trouble.”
“The related problem, also fairly obvious, is that Trump hires for demonstrations of abject loyalty. Not know-how. So not only is Trump himself poorly informed, but he doesn’t hire for expertise and therefore doesn’t get much of it.”
