The rule of law doesn’t apply to this corrupt administration. They do what they want when they want because of a spineless gop congress.

so he’s still the acting director then. handling duties is the definition of “acting” director.

I guess the administration doesn’t care about the barrage of rulings that this is unconstitutional.

No, these are both well-known terms for Presidentially Appointed, Senate Confirmed (PASC) positions. "Acting" has the definition as provided in Section 3345 of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act (FVRA) and gives the acting officer the full authority of the position for up to 2...

Words stopped having meaning in 2016ish. The legacy media gave up long before the rest of us. One cannot sanewash trump and stick to the accepted meanings of words.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is no longer serving as the acting IRS commissioner to comply with a federal vacancies law, the IRS said in a news release Friday. The IRS said he will perform the functions and duties of the commissioner position while it remains vacant — a w...

I have seen some agencies play around with titles to get around the black and white laws. Acting secretary for 6 months, then Principal Acting Secretary for 6 months, then Executive Acting Secretary for 6 months, then Political Acting Secretary for 6 months, then…

This is so ridiculous. And Frank B is a demon.

Frankie Boy will fight tooth and nail to prevent the return of telework in both SSA and IRS saying it makes people less efficient, but he himself doesn’t show up to his office in either agency.

Awesome. Please get us out of Iran, pay TSA agents, lower our grocery costs, fire Stephen Miller and dissolve ICE.

Trump called him during an interview. He had to get up and leave. When Bessent came back he looked shook and was pretty clearly trying and failing to hide emotions. This must be why. Must be more to this.

It probably wasn't this because he would have known his time to be "acting" was limited as just a matter of how the rules work. Unless he couldn't count to 210 and it caught him by surprise. It's likely something we haven't heard about just yet that will drop right before the ...

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is no longer serving as the acting IRS commissioner but he's still going to act as the IRS commissioner. More at 11.

Not much to be done when there’s no enforcement mechanism to hold the rule to these shits. Just like how an agency like FEMA requires the administrator to have disaster experience, but none of the acting’s that have been put in place (3 now) have ANY and are simply there to de...

Over at VOA a judge just lambasted Keri Lake for this stunt. Several of her more egregious acts were done without her having the correct title for the actions, and the judge voided them as a result. Watch for a more aggressive court watch (altho this crew doesn't seem to m...
