I worked for Chris for the more than 13 years and he’s probably the most patient, open-minded person that I’ve ever met, but for him to walk out of an joint-session address speaks volumes to me. He even hates skipping out of Congressional hearings early.

And if you think “Drill Baby Drill” will also bring down the cost of gasoline, think again. Oil companies would sooner sell any surplus oil overseas, than bring the price of a barrel down 1 cent.

I met with President Zelenskyy before his meeting with Trump and Vance. As always, he expressed his gratitude for America's support for the people of Ukraine. He has something Trump will never have or understand: courage and principle. Every American should be outraged⬇️

Let’s face it, Donald Trump is acting solely as an agent of Russia, since none of this is in the interest of the United States or our allies who have prevented a major war in Europe for nearly 80 years. 🇷🇺

"If the DOGE project were even remotely sincere, Trump would be adding and empowering more IGs, not firing them." When you fire the people in charge of keeping government honest, we all know what's going on. @monacharen.bsky.social on Trump's corruption:

William McKinley may have been one of our most corrupt presidents, but at least he had the good sense not to grant J.D. Rockefeller full access and control of the entire federal government.

There’s nothing worst than citizens tasked with protecting their fellow citizens from the harms of big corporations being dragged through the mud by the greatest corporate offender of all.

Actually it goes back further and runs deeper. Rush Limbaugh's AM radio show was nationally syndicated in August 1988. Its success paved the way for a conservative talk radio tidal wave. With Newt Gingrich setting a new level of malice in congress, a conservative gaslighting empire was born.

My former-boss's father was appointed Ambassador to Sri Lanka by Richard Nixon and his mother was a CIA expert who warned of the pending Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1980. Chris is a man who believes in the integrity of American foreign policy, which he feels is being abandoned by Donald Trump.

It’s kind of like killing your parents, then pleading for clemency because you’re an orphan; it just doesn’t work that way in a “normal” society.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

When you’re the CEO of Tesla, it seems pretty idiotic to wage war on the demographic most likely to buy an electric car, while sucking up to “rolling coal” MAGA-nuts.

Is the Department of Government Efficiency a real government agency? Can it cut spending and close agencies? Legal experts told us they see little constitutional or legal support for the idea that the executive branch can act alone to overturn what Congress has authorized. buff.ly/3WPUjYG

Republicans say USAID programs are emblematic of federal waste, highlighting Politico Pro subscriptions and DEI-focused theatre productions. But some of these claims misrepresent the facts about funding sources or what was funded. buff.ly/3WRnTxb
