Over at EPA, new administrator Lee Zeldin is trying to "claw back" $20 billion that the agency has already dispersed. In other words, the government gave the money to private parties, and now it's going to steal the money back. It is straightforwardly illegal.

To every BS question White House press staff feeds to MSM interviewers abt whether Dems ‘want a shutdown’, ‘are gonna vote for a shutdown’. Of course not. We just need the criminal conduct to stop before we can negotiate if the White House is asking for our votes. Who could disagree with that?

Notable that Elons crew of incels and edgelords are full fledged men for the purposes of being given the keys to car to run the govt. But for the purposes of being accountable for their actions they’re just kids from good families with youthful indiscretions.

Over 200,000 records from USAID’s Development Experience Clearinghouse, a publicly available online repository documenting nearly 50 years of USAID’s projects, is gone. Taxpayer property stolen by Musk and his cronies. It’s a crime.

New via NYT — The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force. One former agency officer called the reporting of names a “counterintelligence disaster.”

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

As TPM's Josh Marshall explains (tinyurl.com/ybxx63az), there are only so many things Dems can do at this point. Luckily, Chris Murphy is working on No. 1: fighting the battle for popular opinion.

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.

I know we always feel like we are powerless in red states, but we have power. Thousands of us need to be calling and emailing about the federal freeze. The onus is on red state governments who support this. If you’re in a red state, now is the time to stand up call. Email. Show up at their office.

Missouri’s new Republican Gov, Mike Kehoe says he is starting out by addressing crime in Missouri. Weird. 1) he backs Trump and his pardoning of insurrectionists who beat cops with flags. 2) the Missouri GOP has been in control for 22 years. If crime is out of control, who should we blame?
