Holy shit.

“USAID’s inspector general was investigating a public-private partnership involving Musk’s company just before Musk shut the agency down.

Key USAID web pages mentioning Musk’s company have suddenly vanished from the agency’s website.”

Follow the money.

(1,2) The Democrats need to reorganize today. Forget House and Senate, become the Party for America and choose the best Democrat for different roles. Choose a Press Secretary first. Choose someone to lead each department being dismantled who can explain the impact to Americans.

‘It’s retaliation’: Utah lawmakers scrap public union compromise, move to again ban collective bargaining Utah legislators abandoned efforts Wednesday to compromise on HB267, restoring a sweeping proposed prohibition on collective bargaining for public employees in the latest bill draft.

So, it seems Utah is moving closer to gutting collective bargaining rights for public sector workers (librarians, public utility workers, traffic light technicians, bus drivers, teachers, firefighters, cops, etc)

Seems kind of important. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Elected dems are physically showing up places, holding the floor on the senate tonight, storming Mike Johnson’s office, and acting like they actually care! They may find stepping off their pedestals can be exhilarating and earn respect…

"There should be headlines the size of their headlines on January 6th or 9/11 or Pearl Harbor, because we're actually facing a far more dangerous threat than we were on any of those days."

Federal health workers terrified after 'DEI' website publishes list of 'targets' Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies.

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them at one point as “targets.” The website lists mostly Black employees.

Because of all of you who raised your voices and concerns, Trump backed down. Just because the decision has been reversed doesn’t mean the damage hasn’t been done or the threats to people is over. Let’s keep the energy up and make sure the American people are paying attention.

Brag moment about @indivisible.org. This hit last night. By this morning, we had a 16-page strategy doc, 4 call scripts, and a public brief that we used to drive pressure on congress to weaken GOP resolve and help Dems find their spines.

It ain't over. But when we're in the opposition, we oppose.

BREAKING NEWS:

SIX State Attorney generals vow to work together (NY, CA, IL, MA, NJ, RI) to SUE to stop Trump's funding freeze.

NY AG Latisha James reveals that 20 states have been frozen out of Medicaid reimbursement and says the move is illegal, dangerous and unconstitutional.

Trump just fired the NLRB's pro-worker general counsel and the agency's Democratic acting chair.

It's a huge victory for union-busters Amazon and SpaceX, who have been waging a legal crusade to dismantle the NLRB.

Dems can:

-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance

It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

Florida governor and unabashed fascist Ron DeSantis is looking to basically prevent any more citizen initiatives from getting on the ballot by making it impossibly difficult. But yeah, Freedom State. news.yahoo.com/news/desanti...
