I took a moment to count up the errors of fact and judgment in this one sentence from the Trump-appointed top prosecutor in DC. I settled on six mistakes, but I can't help but wonder if I missed one or two. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Also I want to take a moment to remind everyone (who isn’t an elected official) to take time to recharge your batteries. You don’t have to attend every city council meeting or protest. Find what centers you, then get back in the fight. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Name one thing more disgusting than this: The House GOP just passed a $4.5 trillion tax cut for ultra wealthy billionaires. They want to pay for it with hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP.

SCALISE: "This bill doesn't even mention the word Medicaid a single time." The budget resolution doesn't use the word. It tells Energy & Commerce Cmte, which oversees Medicaid, to find cuts of $880 billion. Republicans openly say spending less on Medicaid will be part of that.

Comey handed Trump the presidency by opening an investigation into Clinton ELEVEN DAYS BEFORE the 2016 election. Sicking Patel & the FBI on him is NOT the THANK YOU Trump owes James. He should have his photo hanging over his bed. Also, the House votes today to strip 82M Americans of their Medicaid

It’s not a president’s job to punish lawyers who represent clients he doesn’t like any more that it’s his job to give preference to media outlets that give him favorable coverage. This is a redline for democracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

I spoke to GOP Rep. Tim Burchett a few hours ago and he's “still leaning no” on the budget. He wants “commitments on spending.” What specifically? “Pentagon. You name it. All the money we're saving on DOGE, we just throw it over to war pimps at the Pentagon. That's not any savings.” “WAR PIMPS” 👀

Sen. Ron Johnson says if House Republicans pass their budget resolution it won’t make it through the Senate as is. “We’d probably have to conference it,” Johnson, R-Wis., tells me. “Because what they're passing I don’t think is passable in the Senate.”

The rifts are growing. Patel wanted an FBI agent as deputy to secure some buy-in to his leadership in the building, AND so he would have at his right hand somebody who knows how to navigate the FBI. The podcast host won’t help with either. But Trump is drunk w/power and both absent & omnipresent.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.
