March 26: Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, under orders to help make up the president's looming trillion dollar deficit this year, said it made perfect sense to eliminate $18 million dollars for the Special Olympics.
Asked how many kids would be affected, she said she didn't know. But she said it's a great program and gets lots of philanthropic support. When the president proposed defunding the program last year, DeVos donated a quarter of her salary- just over $49,000- to it.

March 28: Sean Hannity wrestled, though not very hard, with the central contradiction of the Mueller probe: that people he attacked as corrupt and agenda-driven for two years could come up with the right answer. Hint: it's called professionalism. Outside Trump's base, it's a respected principle.

March 27: A DC literary agency assures Trump appointees the only post-service career option is so not making license plates:
Since “A Higher Loyalty” was published, the townhouse had become a popular destination for Trump administration officials, especially those contemplating an exit — “and they all are, by the way,” Urbahn told me. “They’re all planning to get out.” Latimer chimed in. “We’ve met with or talked to probably every major official you would know who has departed or is thinking of departing the Trump White House,” he said.
March 27: Taco del Fuckwit.The problem for these officials is that many of the White House exits have been nailed shut. The path from the executive branch into highly remunerative private-sector work — the standard post-administration trajectory, for better or worse, in recent decades — used to be smooth, as Barack Obama’s press secretary Jay Carney (now at Amazon) or George W. Bush’s communications director Dan Bartlett (Walmart) can attest. While veterans of Trump’s State and Treasury Departments have tended to navigate this path successfully enough, some people who have worked in other, more controversial precincts of Trump World have had a hard time even getting job interviews. “If it’s a publicly traded company, the C.E.O. doesn’t just have to worry about blowback from shareholders if they hire someone from this administration,” one former senior Trump administration official, who requested anonymity to discuss the travails of some of his friends and colleagues, told me. “They have to be concerned about how their employees are going to react. If the company has offices in Silicon Valley or New York or Los Angeles or D.C., it’s a hard play.”
