Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

โ€” Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu โ€” Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile โ€” Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans โ€œAccidentally.โ€ More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

If youโ€™re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you havenโ€™t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

Evelyn is an incredibly smart political mind. Dems works be wise to heed her advice.

Republicans are promoting โ€œfinancial responsibilityโ€ by allowing banks to charge exorbitant overdraft fees.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congressโ€™ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

This is probably the most accurate take.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Hereโ€™s our shareable guide โฌ‡๏ธ: (pt. 1/2)
