So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Canceling the measurement of economic impacts from climate change doesn’t make those costs — approx. $2 trillion for the U.S. economy this decade — go away. Instead, it will likely push them onto citizens. New, from @abrahm.bsky.social @propublica.org

I assume at some point we are going to get to see actual hard proof submitted in a sworn affidavit, grand jury indictment, congressional testimony, etc that millions of people are defrauding trillions from Social Security? Or is it just going to be social media posts & TV hits?

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

For 16 years, U.S. aviation had a perfect record—ZERO major commercial plane crashes. Then Trump returned and in just 29 days the USA has had seven crashes, 15 aviation disasters, and 85 dead, on pace for this over 1,000 dead this year via plane crash.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

This is a bad look for Dems. Trump signed the EO to ban TikTok due to K-Pop fans reserving tickets for his rallies. Biden punts it to Trump, and he will hail himself a hero for extinguishing his own arson.
