Wait till the White House starts directing the Marshals Service not to protect judges who rule against the Administration. I’d bet good money that’ll happen at some point.

PA's Gov. Shapiro just signed an executive order directing agencies to prioritize the recruitment of federal employees, notably presenting all state positions in federal terms. Saying that an IT position is the equivalent of a GS-13 Supervisory IT Specialist is really helpful! pa.gov/content/dam/...

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Is every American politician a lying sack of sh*t? It sure seems that way. This has already been refuted by MP Melanie Joly. No Canadian politicians have been on the phone with the Americans today. #Trump #tariffs #fascism #BoycottUSA #cdnpoli

Baldwin: "Trump a little over a week ago said on Fox News, 'I'm not touching Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.' And he said it multiple times. The next morning he endorsed the Republican House budget which calls for nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid."

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.

Had Donald Trump been elected president 80 years ago, he would have ordered American troops to do a 180 on the Rhine and to attack the British, Canadians, and French with the help of what remained of the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS.

Federal workers at a Virginia town hall last night—this says it all! “I know their goal is to make us miserable.” — so they don’t show up to work. And Dems, take note: People aren’t here for your ill-timed, tone-deaf donation requests. It’s going to backfire. They want to see you fight for them!

So misleading. Budget resolution requires Energy & Commerce to come up with at least $880b/10 years in savings. If you're protecting Medicare than based on E&C's jurisdiction, most or all of the cuts have to come out of #Medicaid. The math is the math. And the cuts are then locked in moving forward!

If I am understanding correctly this is DOGE's version of "gov't efficiency" Blast an unbaked email, create mass confusion, make managers dream up their interpretation of the guidance, and then days later say, "Nevermind." Then another email kicks off the whole process again. Gov't efficiency!

🚨Trump fired Joint Chiefs Chair CQ Brown—a man who served this country for 40 years, through Republican and Democratic administrations. Brown was laser-focused on warfighting, deterrence, and national security. Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth is playing culture war games at the Pentagon. We are less safe.
