  1. A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt

    The most important factor in getting the right spirit in my Administration, next to the insistence upon courage, honesty, and a genuine democracy of desire to serve the plain people, was my insistence upon the theory that the executive power was limited only by specific restrictions and prohibitions appearing in the Constitution or imposed by the Congress under its Constitutional powers. My view was that every executive officer, and above all every executive officer in high position, was a steward of the people bound actively and affirmatively to do all he could for the people, and not to content himself with the negative merit of keeping his talents undamaged in a napkin. I declined to adopt the view that what was imperatively necessary for the Nation could not be done by the President unless he could find some specific authorization to do it. My belief was that it was not only his right but his duty to do anything that the needs of the Nation demanded unless such action was forbidden by the Constitution or by the laws. Under this interpretation of executive power I did and caused to be done many things not previously done by the President and the heads of the departments. I did not usurp power, but I did greatly broaden the use of executive power. In other words, I acted for the public welfare, I acted for the common well-being of all our people, whenever and in whatever manner was necessary, unless prevented by direct constitutional or legislative prohibition.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
    Autobiography, ch. 10 "The Presidency" (1913)

  3. Your regular reminder that Trump breathes in air, and breathes out lies.

    "Secret new assessments say #Iran has operational access to 30 of its 33 #missile sites along the #Strait of #Hormuz, suggesting that its #military remains far stronger than #President #Trump has asserted."

  9. "The Department of Government Efficiency’s cancellation last year of the majority of ffederal #humanities #grants, including to several #Jewish projects, was #unlawful and #unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

    In her 143-page ruling, U.S. District #Judge #ColleenMcMahon called out the agency created by #President #DonaldTrump specifically for its targeting of Jewish projects, including #Holocaust #research.

    “At a time when the specter of #antisemitism has reemerged from the shadows, for our Government to deem a project about #Jewishwomen disfavored because it centered on ‘Jewish cultures’ and ‘female’ voices is deeply troubling,” wrote #McMahon, who was appointed by President #BillClinton in 1998. She was referring specifically to a canceled “project on Jewish #women subjected to slave labor during the Holocaust.”

  14. france24.com/en/americas/20260. #Trump accuses the #Pope of arguing in favour of #Iran having #nuclear #weapons, but Iran has disclaimed any desire to possess them, & the Pope has made no such argument - instead calling for #peace, basing his call on the #Christian #Gospels, texts with which the #US #President would appear to be unfamiliar.
