Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Just to be clear, because I don’t think the Post story highlights it enough: This was Trump’s day-one pick to lead the Social Security Admin until his nominee got confirmed who RESIGNED a career job rather than do what Musk’s DOGE team wants. This is Treasury (DOGE) and DOJ (Adams) all over again.

I can't vouch for the authenticity of this photo, or if what's described in the text is actually what was happening. However...if it was....this is one of the most promising glimpse of hope I've seen in at least three weeks. 🤞

Here are the GOP members of the Senate Finance Committee--consider going to their LOCAL office this week and exhorting them to figure out why DOGE is in your financial records.

"if his actions in Washington are materially hurting his companies, pressure from shareholders & his own bottom line might force him to limit his... campaign against the federal gov. & just as importantly, a campaign targeting Musk would breathe life into the Dem Party at a time when it's flailing."
