We needed a John McCain, but we got a Lisa Murkowski.

Curious, historically have there been other Congressional meetings scheduled for the wee hours? Or is this new?

Good God, he's dumb.

Yes indeed. And you can see the toll it's taken (and is still taking) on the faces of his children at Easter.

Make no mistake, this will kill and maim babies.

Don't sleep on that Defendants _require_ line either, that is a big problem

I am a rep payee. Did all the "ID.me" verification a few days ago, but today I'm getting the "beneficiary is currently not receiving payments" message. No access to his Benefits & Payments info. He did get paid today. If he needed a Benefits Verification letter today, he'd be screwed.

Same thing happened here. Can't access his benefit verification letter or anything else from his SSI history either.

Ratcliffe's answer is confirmation that they do this shit all the time

Thanks, I needed that ☘️✌🏼

I see some suggestions, in the reporting regarding the OMB impoundment order, that a mere delay in spending appropriated funds is legal. But that's not really true. The delay OMB has ordered specifically contradicts the Impoundment Control Act. A thread.

The same people having a temper tantrum over DEI just confirmed the least qualified Secretary of Defense in US history because Trump liked him on TV.

Time to take the ball and go home

Pretty soon California is gonna take the ball and go home.

I love that I don't know who this is #OOTL
