Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

I feel icky posting X drama on here but it just felt necessary to share.

Racist grifter and former congressional candidate Lauren Witzke made a post slandering Mexican American families as criminals and was met with backlash because…

*drum roll please*

her husband is of Mexican heritage…

Mike Gallagher, the man largely responsible for the ban of TikTok now leads the defense division of the controversial Palantir Technologies.

The man “concerned” about you being spied on, wants to spy on you.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

This isn't a fight that will be settled in the halls of Congress.

The oligarchs own GOP Congress.

This is a fight that will be settled in the streets.

Democrats, Republicans, disillusioned MAGA & independents locking arms.

Give GOP Congress something to fear more than the oligarchs.

The people.

Just saying.

Trump preps order to dismantle Education Dept. as DOGE probes data Closing the agency would require congressional approval, so the new administration hopes to diminish it in the meantime.

This is a pattern www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Who is this “god” they speak about?
This god of guns but not of grace.
This god of greed but not generosity.
This god of the womb but not of the woman.
This god who cannot hear kids cry.
This god who fears dark skin.
This god of America, but not all of America?

That's the Devil, yo.

I tried asking Rep. Mike Lawler whether it's good government to have an unelected, unvetted 19-year-old and former Neuralink intern working for DOGE who now has access to high-level federal data on millions of Americans and has sway in federal employment
Lawler just gave me an incredulous look

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms.

The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

WHERE THE FUCK IS DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP???

The news is so stressful, maybe I’ll try to take my mind off it with my favorite candy — AW FUCK

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

The most important thing I can tell everyone that I've learned from being a YouTuber who explains how stuff works is that each and every time I thought "this is common knowledge and doesn't need to be explained" I was wrong.

Trump Has A Plan To Sabotage The Government — And It Worked Perfectly His First Term The first Trump administration's strategy caused a "brain drain" and a generational blow to American agricultural research. And Trump’s not finished.

During Trump's first term, the USDA gave hundreds of expert agricultural economists and researchers an ultimatum: Relocate across the country on a few weeks' notice, or lose your job. The results were devastating – a generational brain drain. Trump's not done.

Not an expert here but it seems like firing without cause thousands of FBI people who know how to FBI stuff might somehow backfire on Trump

This asshole could have ended it all by voting to convict and remove. He can fuck off with this late stage bullshit.

The higher costs from Trump’s tariffs will be felt by the nurse in Philomath and the firefighter in Coos Bay. Not by Trump, Elon Musk or their billionaire buds.

He is cutting aid to South African to punish them for ending apartheid.

Musk saying he’s shutting down illegal money launderers and it’s Lutheran Social Services

Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down

Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?

trump is over on truth social posting about the plight of the white south african farmer, i wonder who is filling his head with nonsense about white genocide!! truly a mystery.
