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.

They own what happens next.

This is *exactly* the Putin playbook.

Today's specials at the shit sandwich cafe:

- Trump to dismantle the Department of Education

- 240,000 Ukrainians to have their legal status revoked; subject to deportation

- 70,000 job cuts planned at the VA

- GDP receding. Prices on the rise. Markets in free fall. Trumpcession is inevitable.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

He has so much money and stands to make so much more from US taxpayers that he doesn’t give a 💩 about Tesla stock prices. Just like Twitter. Drops in the proverbial bucket.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

I agree 1000%. My point was we can’t treat every thing equally bad or we get overwhelmed.

We have so much to keep an eye on. This is not that bad. Biden did the same thing. The boards of visitors are made up of lawmakers and presidential appointees who meet several times a year to provide advice on issues like curriculum, morale, academic methods and the needs of the institutions.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

I agree totally. 💯

Dammit

Testify! Well done @janefonda.com!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We tried to tell you.

The pain of what could/should have been still cuts like a swords edge!
We got robbed! Twice!

Biden should preemptively pardon all of them and more.

UPDATED. Solid start!

Why are they so weird

When making a MAGA cabinet, it's very important to strike a careful balance between billionaires, sex criminals, Russian assets, anti-vaxxers, and just plain unpleasant people.

Truly impossible to overstate just how badly America messed this one up.

I can’t stop thinking about how Elon has like 20 kids but spent thanksgiving with his weird mommy and Baron Trump. He’s basically Michael Jackson with rockets and no musical talent.

Very concerning.

But, you already knew that.

BREAKING: Alexander Vindman RESPONDS to Elon Musk’s threat that he will “pay” for his “treason”:

“Elon, I served in the military for 22 years — and my loyalty is to the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign & domestic. That’s why I reported Trump.

I’m not intimidated by you.”

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear.

Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code.

It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions.

Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries.

Why am I telling you this?

In case you're ever asked "what were the key contributors to the Great Depression?"

The mo' you know

Above the Law We forget January 6th at our peril

Trump alone didn't beat the justice system.

He had help.

It took Oligarchs relentlessly amplifying his lies on their media platforms.

Ethically compromised members of the Supreme Court.

70+ million willing to vote for a convicted felon.

There's a lot to fix. But it can be fixed. It must.

So let me get this straight.

If you apply for a job at a grocery store, you have to undergo a background check.

But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't?

Got it.
