“The DOGE website included a screenshot from the federal contracting database showing that the contract’s value was $8 million, but the site still claimed $8 billion in savings. Even the $8 million is an upper bound…Since $2.5 million had already been spent… canceling it saved $5.5 million at most.”

I really do believe that Mitch McConnell loved democracy and America, but he hated black people more so he broke all his beloved principles to spite Obama and now he hates his party and himself but not as much as we all do

Schumer's strategy of allowing/encouraging Dems to vote for the "normal" nominees in order to try and peel off Republican defections to block Hegseth/RFK/Gabbard appears to have completely failed.

This is all of Medicaid, by the way. This means people will die. It means disabled kids like my son will lose our extra medical coverage and our waiver funds that help pay for his care. This will devastate the country in ways you cannot imagine. An absolutely hate-filled group of people

Medicaid paid for my grandmother's care in a memory care community for the last three years of her life. Up until that point, she was self-pay, but despite prudent saving and a pension, she outlived her money. She was very much not alone. Has the AARP had anything to say about this?

A federal judge has just ordered Musk to get out of Treasury’s computers. We are fortunate there are good lawyers representing democracy. Normally that would end the matter, but in this era there are legit questions about compliance & enforcement. We live on the edge of a constitutional crisis.

We have two very different assessments of what's going on here: 1-The official story, from Treasury, that there's nothing to see here, it's just an "operational efficiency assessment" 2-The story from the IT professionals in the government, that this is a code rewrite in progress. I believe #2.

Schatz to me on GOP acceptance of Musk's power grab: “I think they’re quietly concerned, but at some point they’re gonna have to assert themselves — a lot of people spent a lot of money & a lot of time becoming US senators and I, for one, wouldn’t want to forfeit all the power that I just earned"

NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination. “We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask… It feels dirty and illegal.”

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

You say: they shutdown USAID. You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

I'm a former OMB official and this is absolutely true. And let's also not forget that these illegal actions have direct, harmful consequences for actual people. New moms won't get help feeding their infants. Small businesses won't make payroll. People could lose their jobs, their homes.

Trump is attempting to unilaterally freeze trillions of dollars in federal spending that’s been duly appropriated by Congress. This is completely insane and illegal. He’s seizing unlawful control over the constitutional spending power? Five alarm fire www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

As far as I can tell the only priority for Trump Republicans is destroying the US democracy as fast as humanly possible so they can declare war on someone and set up a dictator.

If a Democratic Vice President went on Face the Nation and said that the Catholic Church only opposes abortion because it wants to make money, their political career would be over and there would be calls for them to resign. Vance is benefitting right now from a double standard.
