A D.C. federal judge has delivered the toughest blow yet to Trump administration efforts to end deportation protections for young undocumented immigrants, ordering the government to continue the Obama-era program and — for the first time since announcing it would end — reopen it to new applicants. U.S. District Judge John D. Bates on Tuesday called the government’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program “virtually unexplained” and therefore “unlawful.” However, he stayed his ruling for 90 days to give the Department of Homeland Security a chance to provide more solid reasoning for ending the program. But the ruling by Bates, an appointee of President George W. Bush, is far more expansive: If the government does not come up with a better explanation within 90 days, he will rescind the government memo that terminated the program and require Homeland Security to enroll new applicants, as well. Thousands could be eligible to apply. www.washingtonpost.com/local/immigration/2018/04/24/cfb41578-4816-11e8-8b5a-3b1697adcc2a_story.html?utm_term=.433682d8589c

Mick Mulvaney: We take cash, check, major cards, Venmo, Apple Pay, Pay Pal or apartments at ludicrously discounted rates. We make it easy for the rich and powerful to influence our decisions, simply pay your bribes directly to our campaigns... #MAGA

money.cnn.com/2017/04/26/investing/donald-trump-wall-street/index.htmlRemember when Trump campaigned on, possibly, breaking up big banks and reinstating a version of Glass-Steagall because the regular folks always end up footing the bill when the markets tank? Yet another huge lie that Trump's supporters used as a reason to vote for his lying ass and now conveniently overlook to assuage their growing cognitive dissonance.

Let me handle this one. It is clearly Obama's fault that Trump nominated Action Jackson. Perhaps Action Jackson is the classic "kiss up, kick down" manager - hence the glowing references from his superiors but quite the opposite from his peers and subordinates. (BTW, John Bolton is also known for this management style -- when I first resigned from DOJ and he was AAG Civil Division, he refused to accept my resignation memo. It was returned to me with instructions to "write something nice to him.") White House physician Ronny L. Jackson, President Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs, wrecked a government vehicle after getting drunk at a Secret Service going away party, according to an explosive list of allegations released Wednesday by the Democratic staff of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee. According to the report: “Jackson was described as ‘the most unethical person I have ever worked with,’ ‘flat-out unethical,’ ‘explosive,’ ‘100 percent bad temper,’ ‘toxic,’ ‘abusive,’ ‘volatile,’ ‘incapable of not losing his temper,’ ‘the worst officer I have ever served with,’ ‘despicable,’ ‘dishonest,’ as having ‘screaming tantrums’ and “screaming fits,’ as someone who would ‘lose his mind over small things,’ ‘vindictive,’ ‘belittling,’ ‘the worse leader I’ve ever worked for.’” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/va-nominee-faces-explosive-new-allegations-of-drinking-wrecking-government-vehicle/2018/04/25/d1a8e0b2-48c4-11e8-8b5a-3b1697adcc2a_story.html?utm_term=.cc8ca16f8796

Watch for this on Fox News tonight. How will Fox News handle this -- Bates was a Deputy Independent Counsel under Ken Starr investigating Whitewater and was a Presiding Judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court!! Sean Hannity's head may explode (wishful thinking, I know) trying to work all those facts into a conspiracy theory.

I know nothing about this guy one way or the other. But before the posts start rolling in about how unethical Republicans are to have nominated this guy, a few quotes: “Ronny’s positive impact cannot be overstated. He is a tremendous asset to the entire White House team. Already at a level of performance and responsibility that far exceeds is current rank, promote to Rear Admiral now.” - Then-President Obama "I knew Dr. Ronny Jackson in the White House. In my experience, he was very good guy and straight shooter." - David Axelrod, January 2018 "there is no one better than ronny. no one. he is a saint and patriot." - Alyssa Mastromonaco, Obama's White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, January 2018 "True dat" - Susan Rice, January 2018

We all know that Barrry O is never wrong and Susan Rice only tells the truth. So that said, it is simply exposure to Trump that turned Dr. Jackson into Mr. Hyde.

Toxic personnel are experts in managing upward, simultaneously giving the appearance of high performance to their supervisors while abusing others to get ahead.10 In other words, they kiss up and kick down. A common misconception is defining a toxic person as explosive and verbally abusive, when in fact most toxic behavior is passive and “under the radar.”11 Therefore, detection involves observing the wake of wasted resources and demoralized workers left by toxic personnel. Signs of toxicity include a change in climate when the toxic person is present and consistently unproductive meetings as the toxic person sabotages the process to remain the center of attention and maintain his or her narcissistic self-validation. Robert Sutton suggests two tests for detecting toxic people: first, after interacting with the person, do you have a feeling of oppression or humiliation? And second, does the alleged toxic person focus his or her toxicity on “targets” who are less powerful?12 Leaders often take a strong stance against incivility yet respond to allegations of workplace toxicity with surprise, denial, excuses, and disbelief. Toxic personnel are frequently highly competent, dedicated to task accomplishment, possess skills or expertise needed by the organization, and at least appear to be productive in the short term. Leaders, assuming the organization is healthy, either disbelieve or are unaware that someone could be so malevolent toward others when he or she appears so dedicated.14 Most toxic personnel are experts in presenting an image of high performance to their superiors. While toxic personnel may be productive, they simultaneously create “a trust tax” that debits from results.15 Because toxic personnel excel in presenting a positive appearance, effective detection requires leaders first to accept the reality of toxic personnel in their organizations, not assuming all is well; and second, to collect data from a variety of sources and levels of the organization—peers, direct reports, stakeholders, and customers. ndupress.ndu.edu/Publications/Article/1325971/toxic-culture-enabling-incivility-in-the-us-military-and-what-to-do-about-it/But the U.S. military has a long track record of malfeasance by senior officers festering outside of public view, only to erupt at some point in embarrassing fashion. The allegations released by Tester suggest that colleagues had previously raised some concerns with the Navy surgeon general’s office, the White House Military Office and the Defense Department inspector general. www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2018/04/26/ronny-jacksons-va-secretary-nomination-is-dead-but-questions-about-his-navy-career-persist/?utm_term=.2c480fe054cb

After his admission of pay-to-play politics, every decision Mulvaney makes will have a cloud of corruption over it.

Or maybe they're just now realizing he doesn't know how to work a scale.
