Ossoff: We usually get this, which specifies how many folks you intend to employ. What we have is a 26-page PowerPoint. Here, it specifies about $17 billion in cuts to medical services. Who are you cutting? Collins: We’ll have more information as we go forward.

Under grilling by Jon Ossoff, Russ Vought repeatedly refuses to admit that it was a mistake to fire the federal employees who oversaw the safety of the nuclear stockpile (a mistake the administration acknowledged when they had to scramble to hire them back)

Lake randomly throwing out a baseless smear on Dem Rep Greg Stanton of Arizona, a longtime opponent of hers. She claims to have seen a report that he had a gay lover. No such report surfaces in a quick google. Now it will though. What a small, vile creature she is.

It's official. With no notifications to National Science Foundation employees, Trump is moving the HUD in and NSF out. There is no announced plan where to send NSF. Science is being deported by the Trump administration. share.google/LVmoUjzPK0zR...

Great news—Republicans’ ridiculous idea to sell off federal lands to the highest bidder has been ruled out of order in the Senate. Now we’re going to make sure this proposal doesn’t see the light of day in the House. Arizona’s public lands are NOT FOR SALE. 🏜️

I miss having presidents who respected their office instead of viewing it primarily as a tool to build their own wealth and power. And I miss having presidents who respected the people in this country as humans, instead of viewing them as pawns and plebeians over whom to rule.

Since we’re just blithely blundering into another war in the Middle East, I never want to hear a single syllable from any of the people supporting this administration decrying aid to Ukraine, a country where civilians are being slaughtered every day, ever again.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

We’re in another Middle East war. I’m reflecting on the fact that it’s easy to start a war, difficult to end it. There’s often war optimism, so it’s unlikely to end with bomb strikes today. Lastly, I’m troubled that Trump’s national security team is who we have running this war.
