Admit it, Trump and Vance are master negotiators. They know advanced tactics like: -Loser says what? -I know you are but what am I? -(covering ears) Wahh wahh wahh I can't hear you. I am proud to say that our President and Vice President could walk into any first grade classroom and win a debate.

As I get older, I think about all the people I lost along the way. Perhaps my choice to become a mountaineering guide was a bit off.

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. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

NEW: Donald Trump fired a bunch of veterans today while simultaneously hindering care for veterans. In a month or so, republicans in Congress will cut food stamps so these veterans won’t be able to feed themselves or their families. I wonder how many of them voted for Trump.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

Idea going around: Democratic leadership could ASAP name an "alternate" HHS secretary--someone to provide public updates and health information. And "shadow" leaders for other depts too, with press conferences, policy initiatives, budgets, speeches.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

New: The CFPB is on ice. So what does that mean? - Lawsuits against Cash App, Capitol One, etc are on hold - Customer paybacks from companies that defrauded people aren't being supervised - Rulemaking for things like Apple Pay, Zelle, Venmo, etc is frozen www.wired.com/story/cfpb-t...

It’s been a busy few days in government. We reported today that the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau has been put on a cease-work order, effectively putting Big Tech regulations ‘on ice’. https://wrd.cm/4hymHqL

- Both houses of Congress approve a bill. - The president signs it into law. - The richest man in the world shuts it down. I don’t remember that last bit in the constitution. Maybe those School House Rock videos need updating.
