Grimes & g @Grimezsz Plz respond about our child's medical crisis. I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation. This requires immediate attention.

DOGE released data about federal contract savings. It doesn't add up A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road.

NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B.

It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it.

Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

What a disgrace.

Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them.

*This* is how democracy dies.

The resignations from New York City’s government are eviscerating the DOJ‘s rationale for dismissing the criminal case against Adams.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
