Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

He is the worst possible business executive that I have ever witnessed." Below the text, there is an image from an MSNBC broadcast featuring two individuals in suits sitting at a news desk.

The ticker at the bottom of the image reads, "THE TRUMP ECONOMY: 0R’24 AMPS UP CANADA ATTACKS AT EXPENSE OF U.S. ECONOMY," and includes the MSNBC logo, a timestamp of 8:14, and the label "LIVE."

The Trump administration replaced the top lawyer at the IRS in a shake-up that coincided with efforts by officials to access taxpayer data for immigration enforcement. The chief counsel position is one of the highest-ranking roles at the IRS and one of only two that require Senate confirmation.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

In the 70s, when I served, all classified trash had to be burned. But at least we had a big furnace, no open pits. Everyone served burn duty, usually about twice a month.
