    Here’s an op ed by , and me on Whitaker’s extraordinary decision to ignore government ethics officials who told him that he should recuse and a Trump appointee’s disingenuous explanation to the Senate. Should means should!

  2. During the last administration, Senate majority leader McConnell insisted that Obama’s nominees update their financial disclosure reports before they could be renominated. Will he do the same for Trump’s nominees, or will this be another case of double standards? Stay tuned.

    ...But for some reason the NPS park rangers who staff a tourist attraction in the DC building housing the Trump International Hotel remain on the job. Who declared them essential while the other national parks are closed? This is very, very suspicious.

  6. This list of insults from the President’s Twitter account highlights just how much Congress ignored for two years. It’s not the insults alone, it’s that they are consistent with his handling of the job and his disrespect for the Office of the President.

  8. I deleted a tweet about the rampant typos in formal issuances of the highest office in the government because, well, it was too easy. Also, it makes me sad to think about how carelessly critical functions of government are being handled by indifferent propagandists.

    President Trump's last-minute demands for billions in border wall funding triggered the partial government shutdown that closed national parks and facilities last month — but his hotel in DC will see its own National Park Service site reopen this week.

    If DOJ’s Public Integrity Section gets interested in conflict of interest cases at all, it seems to be when the issue involves what I think of as “conflict of interest plus” (as in “conflict of interest plus lying”). Time will tell, but there may be more than lying at issue here.

    DOJ’s Public Integrity Section is looking into whether Zinke lied during ethics investigations. This is big because, in my experience, it was always incredibly difficult for OGE or Inspectors General to get Public Integrity interested in govt ethics issues
