Commentary: Trump’s worst Cabinet picks aren’t just unqualified, they’re part of a bigger power grab
Former Rep. Gaetz, Trump’s nominee for attorney general, has promised to purge the Justice Department and FBI of anyone who might get in the president’s way. Trump “is going to hit the Department of Justice with a blowtorch — and that torch is Matt Gaetz,” former Trump aide Stephen K. Bannon said last week. AdvertisementThe result would be what one expert called “transformation by intimidation.”Trump has also proposed weakening Congress’ power to direct federal spending — one of the legislative branch’s core functions. He plans to revive the practice of “impounding” funds — blocking agencies from spending money that Congress has appropriated for programs he doesn’t like. A 1974 law made impoundment illegal, but Trump has suggested that he will ignore the prohibition and challenge it in court.

Ukraine Invasion Day 1000: Zelenskyy, "The rockets will speak for themselves.”
President Biden has authorized the first use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine for strikes inside Russia, U.S. officials said. The weapons are likely to be initially employed against Russian and North Korean troops in defense of Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region of western Russia, the officials said. Mr. Biden’s decision is a major change in U.S. policy. The choice has divided his advisers, and his shift comes two months before President-elect Donald J. Trump takes office, having vowed to limit further support for Ukraine. Allowing the Ukrainians to use the long-range missiles, known as the Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, came in response to Russia’s surprise decision to bring North Korean troops into the fight, officials said.

RFK Jr. says kids ‘swimming’ in ‘poisonous’ foods as Dr. Marc Siegel calls out ‘sick care system’
