Another word you might use for it is "looting".
"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.
As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.
NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.
Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)
Trump and Putin are laughing at how easily the GOP surrendered and allowed the destruction of America.
It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
Putin already succeeded in permanently destroying America's reputation as the leader of the Democratic world....
Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia.

BREAKING: DOJ confirms that 47,635 Epstein files have been removed, per The Independent.
NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities
McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.
The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution:
- declared war without Congressional authorization
- ignoring multiple court orders
- impounding Congressional authorized funds
- ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly
It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.
Good news!
The Virginia Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, for the second time, that voters can decide whether the state can redraw its congressional map — clearing the way for a referendum that, if successful, could help counter GOP gerrymanders nationwide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East.
She lied.
One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on.
This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.
Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.
She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.
DURBIN: How does taking dad from child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime?
NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of
D: Ruben Torres 2 weeks ago buried his daughter. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said, 'Please. My daughter is dying.' They deported him. Was he a violent criminal?
Epstein Files….. do you think it was self-conscious or they did it on purpose?
Always remember that the American state media attacked President Biden relentlessly more for his age as he was doing good work than they ever have with the orange felon who is setting the world on fire out of spite and revenge. They deliberately and consistently failed humanity.
I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.
The next Big Lie is to taking shape right in front of us. Donald Trump will try to use this to assert illegal and unconstitutional powers over the 2026 elections.
Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.
Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?
Chris Murphy speaking to reporters
Murphy: “ppl now see Trump for who he is — a would be dictator who doesn’t care what Americans think, cares nothing about our Constitution or our laws, & sees himself as a kind of 18th century king, with unlimited power to drag all of us into disastrous wars overseas without the consent of the ppl”
DOJ has come to mean the Department of Obstruction of Justice.
U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.
Mississippi public offices, cities and colleges could be forced to assist ICE in enforcing federal immigration laws under a bill passed by the Mississippi House on Feb. 12. The bill also gives the attorney general the authority to investigate and prosecute any entity that does not comply.
