MaryBeth Hastings has devoted her career to human rights, one of the many people in #MD08 who have seen their lives, livelihood and work upended by the attacks on USAID. Thanks MaryBeth for reminding us: foreign aid is critical for democratic solidarity.

When taking actions late on a Friday night, a government sends a message its trying to pull one over on the public and the media, that it is hiding something or doing something it believes it should not do or will be seen as controversial. That is certainly true in this case.

The danger and idiocy of these actions is historic and beyond any logic. His actions are exceeding even the base expectations health professionals had already expected of him. His damage to the health of America could be irreversible in your lifetime. Do something‼️ 🆘🆘🆘

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Yes, we really are in deep Doodoo, aren't we? Especially since the Republicans have decided to hide, pretend nothing bad is happening, and tell themselves it really isn't their fault. I don't think they ever look in the mirror anymore. Too frightening.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Starting the slide ⤵️ to his view of health in America. Sympathies to his family as he begins destroying any hope of future good health for Americans. Wouldn't his uncles and his father be proud of him as he does his best to tarnish the family name. How did a man this stupid come out of that family?

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

I don’t often feel rage. That said, I’ve been getting pretty damn close, watching one of the few truly warrior like heroes in the world of leadership…Zelensky…being rat fucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

After all we've seen in the past 3.5wks, I cannot believe anyone is confused about this. Musk. Owns. Trump. Trump sold Musk the functions of the Presidency; in return, Musk spent $250M to ensure Trump won instead of dying in prison. Trump just licenses his name to the deal: POTUS in name only.

New: US retail spending plunged last month, falling for the first time since August, as high inflation continued to bite. Retail sales plunged 0.9% in January, down from December’s upwardly revised 0.7% gain and well below economists’ expectations of a 0.4% decline.

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...
