These are all excellent questions. Are reporters waiting to put the answers in their next book? Or is no one investigating something that should be getting a lot of investigation??

The effects of this massive layoff have barely even begun. I don't think anyone understands how many corners of our lives the federal government takes care of without our realizing it. As this rolls on, will be watching to see how much destruction it causes.

Trump has been president for 21 days as of noon. He has spent all or part of 10 of those days at properties he owns, businesses where he often interacts with his private customers. He has played golf on at least five of those days.

Honest journalism would report these statements as "Collins Supports RFK And Trump's NIH Cuts" instead of knowingly and dishonestly framing her as a hero who objects to something bad while acting, knowingly and repeatedly, to make the bad thing happen (as if she hasn't been doing this since 2017)

Excuse me while I vent for a moment SHE IS THE APPROPRIATIONS CHAIR. SHE CAN SUBPOENA OFFICIALS, HOLD TELEVISED HEARINGS, HOLD UP ANYONE’S FUNDING, ZERO OUT THE WHITE HOUSE’S FUCKING ICE CREAM AND DIET COKE BUDGET, AND ENFORCE THE APPROPRIATIONS LAWS THAT ARE THE SOURCE OF HER PERSONAL POWER.

the president claiming that he has time to run the Kennedy Center makes it clear that he's not really the president anymore.

US journalists refuse to cover dems when they are out of power even as they justify disproportionately covering republicans when they are out. Long been the case. Sucks but it just means dems need to create more spectacle

Not only did Trump not release more water that would be useful to firefighters in LA, the water he did release was actually reserved for central valley farmers (who mostly voted for Trump) and will now go to waste instead of their farms.

this is genuinely excellent all around - what they're doing, what they're saying keep yelling at them, it's working, today's Dem response is markedly better than anything they did last week and yell at the @nytimes.com @cnn.com and the rest of the media to actually cover it

People have gathered outside USAID HQ for press event with Democratic Congressmen Beyer, Raskin, Connolly and Olzewski and Senator Van Hollen where they're addressing the building's mysterious shutdown today in the midst of the Trump admin dismantling the agency. (Photos shared with me)

They’re letting “housekeeping” in, to clean up from their sleepover party.

USAID itself is plenty important, but this isn't something they do one time and then forget they got away with it. This is absolutely a trial balloon for the power to shut down anything they want on their own pure whim, laws be damned. This is a coup power play much bigger than USAID.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Well dang, I really wanted it to be Wikler. Let's hope this guy has the same fire in his belly to fight. We don't need any more middle-of-the-road Dems.

It's not a "viable political message" but it's just always been the simple truth: Trump is a moron surrounded by insane people and is going to badly damage the country

Funny detail: the TRO only applies to the plaintiffs (23 Dem-led states), so GOP-led states get to find out what having the federal taps turn off feel like first.

Bill, as we'd expect from a potent political adversary in the 80s, 90s and aughts has a good grasp of how you frame the big picture.
