"Most of DOGE’s money, records show, has come in the form of payments from other federal agencies made possible by a nearly century-old law called the Economy Act. To steer those funds to the new department, the Trump administration has treated DOGE as if it were a federal agency."

BREAKING: The Trump administration's mass federal employee layoffs can continue after a judge declined that he had jurisdiction to pause the actions.

Trump officials have terminated more than 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration without realizing that they oversee America’s nuclear weapons. They are now trying to rescind the terminations.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Because of DOGE, countless Americans are going to die.

What is it going to take to get a Democratic senator to deny unanimous consent and slow the chamber’s procedure? If Indivisible, MoveOn, and other progressive groups were joined by EMILY’s List, Sierra Club, the AFL-CIO, the ACLU, would that be enough? www.davidrussellmoore.net/are-senate-d...
