Texans deserve to know where billions in taxpayer dollars are being spent. This week we published new reporting about how after pouring billions into Texas’ border wall construction, state lawmakers have quietly stopped funding the infrastructure project. 🧵

This is a very serious video. Very serious! Watch tiny.cc/3bsj001

This is wrong on so many levels. Where is the rule of law. Improper entry is a misdemeanor. Asylum entry is international law. Apprehension, deportation to another country with life imprisonment with no trial or hearing violates the rule of law. tiny.cc/2erj001

Got to read all those laws.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Very good article, on point!

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

Not good. Starting to go after citizens.

Oh look, another Russian mouthpiece in the White House. Nothing to worry about here, folks.

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself. SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then. Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.

Unbelievable.

Breaking News: The top vaccine official at the FDA abruptly resigned, saying that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “misinformation and lies” were irresponsible.

Not Good "...expectations for domestic economic growth ... dialed back compared to last month, from 2.3% to 2%. ...forecast for inflation from 2.5% to 2.8% by year-end — well above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. consumer sentiment sank this month to a more than 2-year low and US stocks tumbled."

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

These individuals should be impeached and/or fired for serious security breaches (multiple text on unsecured network).

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

NEW: A federal judge rules that Elon Musk and DOGE have no right to access sensitive personal information at the Education and Treasury Departments and Office of Personnel Management, saying the agencies likely violated federal law by granting access.

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail. I choose the latter: www.justice.gov/file/494411/...
