YouTube video by Congressman Don Beyer Don Beyer Slams Lack of Transparency with DOGE's Conflicts of Interest

Every single one of my Republican Ways and Means colleagues just voted to oppose much-needed transparency into why and how Musk has sought treasury payment information and American’s sensitive data.

If no laws have been broken, there should be nothing to hide.

Made a mistake on the interest payment numbers. I took short term debt that needs to be refinanced and incorrectly extrapolated. So the interest savings won't be as significant as I stated.

this guy’s distinguishing quality is his boundless contempt for anyone who voices the slightest disagreement with him. you can see in his voice and mannerisms that he thinks he’s better than everyone around him. (which to my mind is just compensation for his palpable self-loathing)

A cybernetic spider crawling out of a medicine bottle towards a pill. The spider looks at the pill with concern and says, “This is going back in the bottle.” The text reads: The threat is already in your home! It’s not a cybernetic spider. It’s loose medicine. Make sure your medicines are in child-resistant containers and locked up away from kids.

Thank you, cybernetic spider. Next week is National Poison Prevention Week.

Wishing a happy Holi to everyone celebrating in Virginia and beyond! I hope the Festival of Colors brings you and your loved ones joy, happiness, and hope.

It's really notable that Chief Judge Pryor, a staunch conservative, not only joined but actually authored the majority opinion upholding Florida's ban on gun purchases by 18-20 year-olds. I think this decision increases the odds that the SCOTUS upholds similar laws around the country.

The fight for D.C. isn’t lost yet, but it isn’t over either: If the House doesn’t pass this bill quickly, our budget will still be decimated.

If you’re lucky enough to have congressional representation, consider calling your House member and asking them to expeditiously approve it.

The text of the post reads, "Canada giving Marco Rubio the tiniest red carpet they could find in a thrift shop somewhere." The attached image shows a small red carpet laid out on a wet tarmac in front of an airplane, where two individuals in dark coats stand welcoming two men descending the stairs. The scene appears to be a satirical take on an official welcome, with the red carpet humorously described as minimal and second-hand. The background includes a truck and some trees, suggesting a cold or wintery environment.

Little Marco gets little respect, even from the nicest countries.

A Dark Day for Our Country I'm not going to sugarcoat it. Today was a bad day for our country – and for the Democratic Party.

Who Is in DOGE? Tracking Its Staffers and Allies in the Federal Government The Times identified 50 people within the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a group formed by Elon Musk that in a short few weeks has radically upended federal agencies.

I have worked in foreign policy since my days as a young staffer on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. I have never witnessed such an embarrassing, pathetic, and shameful display from an American President and Vice President on the international stage.

He has abandoned our friends, betrayed our values, and taken the side of a brutal, authoritarian regime over a democracy-loving people.

I am disgusted.

Am I the only person bothered by a man wearing a baseball hat in the Oval Office? Isn't that display of disrespect?
