TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

I'll set aside that he thinks chicken farms are going to build high tech security perimeters against geese. If he's talking about bio-sec and anti-virals, maybe not an ideal time to be firing everyone at USDA and CDC.

RFK Jr. is now in charge of public health in America. God help us all

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse accuses Kash Patel of lying to the Judiciary Committee ahead of his FBI director confirmation vote: "He wouldn't tell this committee what he said. He pretended there was a seal order. There is no record or any evidence of any seal order."

Crockett: What we’re not going to do is stand around while they pull this bullshit that they’re trying to pull right now

When you’re an oligarch, they let you do it. You can do anything…. grab ‘em by the Treasury. You can do anything.

This makes more sense when you remember 3 things: 1. He doesn’t want people who do their jobs, only what he tells them to do. 2. He wants to privatize everything so he can give contracts to his friends and donors. 3. Less oversight means he can get away with more.

"We know you’re out of power. We understand you’re in the minority. We hear that, loud and clear. What we’re not hearing is your anger. We’re not hearing your outrage. We’re wondering whether or not you actually hear us." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/comms-advi...

Beware, Republicans. Trump had only one week in office, doing horrible things, before a DEMOCRAT FLIPPED AN IOWA SEAT in a 21+ Trump district. Iowa! Trump is destroying you. And we are coming for your seats. Signed, a grinning Democrat

Very proud of Paralyzed Veterans of America for their strong stand on Trump’s disgusting comments today. pva.org/news-and-med...

Trump's handling of this situation should be treated as one of the biggest scandals in presidential history. There is blood on his hands.
