Wow. Thom Tillis was thinking about voting against Pete Hegseth - which would have killed the nomination - but then he started receiving death threats. He then voted to confirm. If death threats change your vote, you have no business being in Congress. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Unfortunately, I was one of the thousands of new USDA scientists let go yesterday. It was an absolute honor to work there. If anyone in the southeastern Michigan area knows of a role that might match my background, I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your support!

DOGE is a trojan horse for Elon to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections. If he actually wanted to cut waste, he'd look at the massive tax loopholes, government contracts, and subsidies that benefit the wealthy and large corporations. Watch my latest video: youtu.be/2hVMghqarHY?...

Trump has no idea whatsoever what Musk is actually doing even though he also signed the executive order giving DOGE “full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, software systems, and IT systems."

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Elon Musk, encouraged by his mother and an army of his cultish fans, is threatening tonight to sue a Washington Post journalist for pointing out on live TV that neo-Nazis welcomed his salute on Inauguration Day. Can we finally put the ‘he’s a free speech absolutist!’ BS to bed?

WIC. They are pausing WIC. That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings in the same fiscal year. For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.
