Trump should be thanking you

This indictment is flimsy
Here is Comey's response

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

These Words Are Disappearing in the New Trump Administration Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

For the life of me I can’t remember the name of that CEO who runs the business with this mission statement.

Wait, you mean that’s not what a business does?

Wow. We messed up.

I just came off the floor after speaking for an hour. I refuse to let Republicans confirm Russ Vought the easy way, so we're holding the floor through the night for 30 straight hours.

Unions Sue To Stop Elon Musk’s DOGE From Accessing Treasury Department Data Musk’s team at the Department of Government Efficiency was given access to the Treasury Department’s payment system over the weekend.

The American Federation of Government Employees and other unions sued the Treasury Department on Monday, seeking to cut the Department of Government Efficiency's access to Treasury data after Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly greenlit a plan to provide the data to the Elon Musk-led agency.

I haven't seen anything anywhere (not that it isn't happening--I just haven't seen it) directly supporting fed employees getting screwed by Musk's coup. The unions are doing their thing (grievances, ULPs, etc), but what about non-union folks? Legal defense funds? Other ways to support them?

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are πŸ“‰
