I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status. I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.

If House GOP wants to talk about waste, fraud, & abuse in Medicare/Medicaid, they should hold a hearing about it. I think Sen. Rick Scott would be an excellent witness to call

Any boss that demands you justify your worth, or else be eliminated, obviously does not understand how said organization functions

If you're gonna root out waste & fraud, you show that's it's waste & fraud. This "trust me, bro" attitude is, itself, a form of fraud.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Government is like the referees at a basketball game. If it's doing a good job, you barely notice it. If they do a crappy job, everyone notices. Guess what, we all notice what's happening.

Privatize everything so they can make money off everything and gouge the people for everything. The dismantling of our government and society and leaving behind the most vulnerable.

"This is not how you run a government. It’s not even how you would expect Donald Trump and his cronies to run their businesses." Ilan Goldenberg explains that Trump’s EO pausing all new foreign aid obligations for 90 days is already harming U.S. nat'l security, global stability & countless lives.

And so, Grassley (and any other Republican with a semblance of concern for good government, and a semblance of self-respect) should refuse to vote to confirm any more of Trump's Cabinet nominees until and unless a satisfactory explanation is provided.

I don't think the pre-emptive pardons were a good idea, but I understand the reasoning behind them. The J6 pardons, on the other hand, simply signal white nationalists that you can act violently, with no consequences, for the next four years. I find that disturbing.

Both Walter Mondale & Gerald Ford had written remarks before they died to be read at Jimmy Carter's funeral. In both cases, it sounded like they were referencing/criticizing Trump. Well played, gentlemen, well played.
