It wild to me that DOGE would actually send “contracts” with shoddy and suspect legal language to federal career attorneys that even non-lawyers would recognize as bullshit.

Pam Bondi is a Donald Trump loyalist—she is an election denier who without evidence has parroted his calls to investigate his enemies. Pam Bondi will not stand up to Trump's lawlessness—which is why I voted NO on her confirmation.

The Trump Playbook: 1. Manufacture a crisis. 2. Hype it up. 3. Pretend you solved it. 4. Declare yourself the victor. 5. Repeat. Basically has our allies asking, “what bone do we throw this crazy idiot so he can parade around beating his chest saying he won?” It’s all a farce. (via Ana Navarro)

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

As China continues to give money and projects to countries to gain influence, we are shutting down our agencies that do that. China is eating our lunch and Trump is the reason. Sorry folks, if you don’t see it you don’t understand how the world works. Period
