Is this another “awkward gesture” from Steve Bannon?

It has been a long and grueling week. Thank you to everyone who offered kind words of support. If you want to follow everything happening to democracy in court, while also supporting pro-democracy independent media, please sign up for Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

These are the GOP members of the House Ways and Means Committee--THEY'RE some of the people hiding while DOGE disrupts Medicare/Medicaid and NIH funding. If they are YOUR representative, consider a visit to their LOCAL OFFICE this week, while they're home, to explain why they need to oversee DOGE.

A top Social Security Administration official resigned after clashing with Musk staffers over access to sensitive personal records. They sought entry into an internal system containing Americans’ private data. Thank you, Michelle, for resisting—and for your 30 years of service.

Connecticut was out at The CT Capitol today.

?? It’s no mystery where the money goes; this has been asked and answered. 70-75% of US spending is on Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Pentagon and veterans + interest on the debt. Foreign aid is 1% of the budget. You can read this in a CBO or OMB report! Easily available.

Knowledge is power…

Senator Mark Warner spills the beans about "the real story" of how the TikTok ban went down. Turns out, its passage had more to do with the Gaza war than China. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/tiktok-ban...

Gross

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Friendly reminder: there’s plenty of time left to claim up to $1,750 per child with our nation-leading Child Tax Credit.   Last year, we put over $550 million into the pockets of nearly 225,000 families.   Don’t leave money on the table, Minnesota.

Musk is acting like he runs the U.S. government—but the Constitution does not allow an unelected super-president We’re taking him & DOGE to court to impose consequences I’ll discuss tonight at 6PM ET on @msnbc.com w/ @jonathancapehart.bsky.social

The new iconic photo that i predicted ultimately destroys the relationship:

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

“Let's be honest: People are angry, scared, and they want to see more from their lawmakers right now than floor speeches about Elon Musk," @leahgreenberg.bsky.social, the co-executive director of Indivisible, said in a statement to Axios.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

"That is why Elon’s commission looks, sounds, and smells like a sham. Because thus far, the biggest beneficiaries aren’t working class Americans, but rather Elon Musk himself. You don’t get credit for rooting out abuse if your execution raises more questions than it answers."

I will not serve a King.

Wait until Missouri farmer Will Westmoreland puts this on TikTok lol

Rep. Jason Smith dismisses farmers in his state who are getting stiffed by the US government not fulfilling contracts: "Right now it's a little bit disruptive, but that's what this administration promised whenever they were coming to Washington is that they would be disruptive."

trump was just asked what money he was going to use to buy Gaza. "We're not gonna buy it. We're gonna have it, we're gonna keep it." No follow up question, of course. Is THAT how real estate works in the Middle East?

I’m so tired of them. I’m tired of their lies. I’m tired of their disgusting amorality. I’m tired of their faces, their voices, their smirks. I’m tired of their inability to say — let alone do — even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate, ever. So tired.

A pretty key effort to break resistance. The key here is that if you're going to defend the rights of people in the nat sec world you need lawyers who themselves have clearances and thus can dig into the facts the legal questions turn on. that's what this is about. I'm not saying Mark won't be ...

"Continued access to any payment systems by DOGE members, even ‘read only,’ likely poses the single greatest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.” From a Treasury threat intelligence dept email www.wired.com/story/treasu...
