In the past week, we had Hegseth giving away key concessions before talks even began, Rubio in Saudi Arabia negotiating with Russia without Ukraine at the table, and Trump blaming Ukraine for Russia’s invasion. Putin couldn’t have written this pro-Russia script better himself.

Stephen Miller is perhaps the loatheable human I have ever seen or heard. He's a rare case of somebody who should have been beat up more in high school. The guy has never experienced a consequence for being an insufferable dick, and this is the result.

Millions of families rely on the Department of Education to help them achieve the American Dream. They need answers about whether an unelected billionaire now has access to some of their most sensitive personal information. I’m going to stay on this.

🔥 The newest Rep from Maryland came out swinging at todays press conference… Rep. Elfreth: "Elon Musk has called USAID a criminal organization, and yet, he is the one who came in the dark of night in a takeover that is illegal."

FIRST: USAID NEXT: Dept. of Education THEN: Your Social Security benefits? Your health insurance? Your kids' health insurance? Everything is on the table and Trump/Musk don't care who gets hurt. We will not sit by while this happens. We will put up a fight.

I think we are all searching in vain for evidence that Donald Trump or Elon Musk are serving America rather than other interests. Their anger at USAID sounds like ventriloquism from Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. It makes no sense whatsoever to anyone who actually loves this country and its values.
