THIS is what is at the top of the Attorney General’s priority list at the moment. I did a double-take to make sure this was actually from the AG and wasn’t satire. Sadly, this truly did go out from her this afternoon #ilovetheenvironment #stillnotafanofpaperstraws #butDUDE #PRIORITIES

Many of the documents being destroyed are likely relevant to ongoing litigation around illegal terminations and cessation of grants. They're directing staff to destroy evidence, which could put them on the hook for serious legal consequences. An unauthorized disposition complaint has been filed.

Republicans are messing with folks’ lives and livelihoods. Firing tens of thousands of federal workers—including thousands of our veterans—to help pay for tax cuts for the rich is reckless and wrong. It’s also illegal. That's why we're fighting to stop it. www.wpr.org/news/wiscons...

Trump-Musk's willingness to do direct harm to America, Americans and the people of the world feels very similar to the genocidal rage Putin has thrown at Ukraine for the past three years. They both show an incredible disregard for human life and the well-being of people, hallmarks of any democracy.

This is helpful because it really cuts through the bullshit. Vance is essentially telling congress: "this is a blank check for Musk and Trump." Should be an easy "no" vote for any House or Senate Dem. If the GOP wants Dem votes, negotiate for them.

Here's the full email about the classified and personnel records destruction, which just hit the public record in labor groups' litigation against the Trump admin. The groups say: "Defendants are, as this motion is being filed, destroying documents with potential pertinence to this litigation."

We don't have much time to stop the ongoing crime spree. Trump and Musk are trying to destroy the agencies before we or the courts have time to stop them.

Trump and Musk's SSA cuts will mean longer wait times for beneficiaries, worse customer service, and fewer people receiving their earned benefits. Make no mistake: this is an attack on Social Security itself.

We are, once again, staring down the barrel of a government shutdown. Shutdowns are destructive in normal times, but this latest incarnation would give Trump a green light to carry out his attacks on an even broader scale. Max Stier explains.

Republicans snuck a provision into the rule for the CR that would preemptively surrender congressional authority to block tariffs. When House Republicans vote for this rule today, they will also be voting to support Trump's tariffs and all the resulting damage to the US economy

The RFK Jr playbook is clear: Cherry pick “medical data” + layer in his preconceived notions = announce a ridiculous statement. Since some will unwittingly believe him, we corrected the record, as we will always do, now and moving forward.

They want to cut USPS - so they can own it. They want to cut Amtrak - so they can own it. They want to cut Social Security - so they can force you to use private financial firms more. They want to cut Medicare and the VA - so they can force you to use private healthcare more.
