Pentagon likely to cancel missile sale to Germany over fears of Russia - POLITICO

U.S. officials fear Moscow will retaliate if the Trump administration follows through on the effort to deploy precision missiles in the middle of the continent, according to two European officials and one American official. But any decision not to deliver them would yank back a deal made during the Biden administration and leave Berlin without defenses German leaders say they desperately need.

White House site compares undocumented immigrants to extraterrestrials : NPR

While many may dismiss the wordplay as a joke, even one of bad taste, said Castañeda, "for a few people, it may be another license to act violently against people that they may think are aliens, undocumented. They may be another incitement to hate crimes and to profiling people."

The website is yet another example of the Trump administration making light of the toll of immigration enforcement through a "memefied communication style," said Shannon McGregor, an associate professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who studies the role of media and social media in political processes. The government's communication, and even governing style, is "wrapped up in 'everything's a joke, nothing matters,' as an excuse for pushing the envelope over and over," she said...

Trump strips job protections from 8,000 federal workers : NPR

"It creates bubbles around policymakers," he says. "If you were a career civil servant and there is bad news that you want to share with the president, you're less likely to do so if you think, 'The minute I share that bad news, I'm going to get fired.'"

Moynihan says this is not an abstract idea. He points to what's happened with political appointees — who lack civil service protections — who raise the president's ire: The head of the Defense Intelligence Agency was fired after the agency issued a preliminary report last year contradicting Trump's assessment that U.S. airstrikes had "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities. The commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who had previously served as a career economist in the government for more than two decades, was ridiculed and then replaced by Trump after a disappointing jobs report…

Democrats offered wall-to-wall condemnation of the appointment.

Well, he has shown that he is willing to do anything that President Trump wants, legal or otherwise.”.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) told reporters in the Senate that Pulte had already wielded government power against Trump critics (those include Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif), New York Attorney General Letitia James and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook). “With more access to more private information, Pulte may simply use that to do more damage to more American citizens,” Warren said...

President Trump seeks control of science funding : NPR

"Although research has bipartisan support in the US Congress, and trust in science is above 75% across the country, the Trump administration seems as determined as ever to mortally wound the nation's scientific enterprise," Holden Thorp, editor of Science magazine, wrote in an editorial about the proposal…

"We're asking ourselves whether we wanna repeat that Stalinist situation where people who know nothing about science are the ones who are making the decisions about what's going to go forward," said Snyder.

Others compared the moment to a period in the United States in the 1950s when government officials scrutinized people's ideology and politics rather than their credentials.

The House GOP majority dwindles, and so does the calendar - POLITICO

Just ahead of the recent Memorial Day recess, Republicans’ hopes of quickly passing the immigration enforcement bill evaporated after President Donald Trump’s administration announced the creation of a controversial “Anti-Weaponization Fund” that could be used to hand large settlements to presidential allies.

Members headed home expecting to return for Tuesday’s votes, but Johnson & Co. instead opted to punt the week’s first roll call votes to Wednesday. That effectively gave the White House more time to wriggle out of the payout-fund mess and also possibly strike an Iran deal that would forestall an embarrassing loss on a bipartisan resolution to end the war in the Middle East...

Strict Medicaid work rules could harm people with serious illnesses, advocates say : NPR

The nearly 400-page interim final rule released Monday makes that process even harder. For months, federal officials have been meeting with states informally and giving them guidance, and states understood that people with conditions where continuous health insurance coverage was really important would be exempt.

"What the rule says, as published, is that that's actually not enough," McIntyre explains. "The condition or the disease needs to be actively interfering with your ability to work. So people with early stage cancer who are in radiation treatment but still have the capacity to work, or people who have HIV but can still technically work, are not exempted from the work requirement."

McIntyre and others foresee situations where a person newly diagnosed with cancer, who is working, loses Medicaid because they don't fill out the paperwork correctly. That could lead to patients losing coverage when they need it most…

2:32:12 (notJ186) - Caller has a medium crash out over Justin calling Christianity a cult; Are there other ways to have sins forgiven (Proverbs 16:6)? Caller argues that all forgiveness given without sacrifice are just special exceptions

3:20:15 Joshua Turney - The crucifixion was only to end the covenant with Israel; Does Jesus represent the two goats of Yom Kippur? Israelites were incapable of following all the law

3:56:35 (Joshua Turney) - Since blood sacrifice covers only already committed sins, what does the blood of Jesus do for future sins? Answer: caller believes that the crucifixion was just a step in the process before he came back in 70 CE

Trump administration retreats on 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' - POLITICO

It’s not immediately clear whether pledge to obey the court ruling will be enough to staunch the uproar among Republicans on Capitol Hill, however, as the administration’s immigration agenda hangs in the balance.

A planned Senate vote on the funding bill was abandoned last month after DOJ announced the creation of the fund, which could be used to pay Trump allies who had been prosecuted under prior administrations. Democrats pledged to force votes on amendments related to the fund, creating a serious political dilemma for congressional Republicans, and they are likely to continue pushing for restrictions to be written into law...
