New post: This week, Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird & her staff lied repeatedly about a federal lawsuit Iowa joined, which could blow up Section 504 protections for people with disabilities.

I’m calling for Chair Crapo and Chair Scott to haul in the Treasury Secretary to answer for Musk's seizure of Americans' personal financial information. We have an oversight responsibility here that should NOT be partisan.

I ran $100 billion in Infrastructure and IRA programs at EPA. We obligated over $70 billion onto signed awards and contracts to protect public health and the environment. All that funding is currently frozen. Here are the facts… 🔌💡 1/X

Elon Musk does not give a single shit about how much money the government spends. Everything he is doing is to reduce its power to regulate all his shit-ass businesses. This should be in the first paragraph of any story about it.

Seems unnecessary to create a separate School of Anti-Woke & Racism when the Board of Regents is already GOP-majority and 100% Reynolds appointments, but what do I know?

I want to talk a little bit about the Impoundment Control Act that got so much (deserved) attention during this hearing, and why it's so worrisome that a potential OMB director thinks it's unconstitutional despite GAO findings and court precedent supporting it. 1/
