Spotted: Hypocrisy in handcuffs. 👀 #gapol Oh, sugar, you won’t believe the scandal that just waltzed into my inbox wearing last night’s sins and this morning’s mugshot. Isn’t it funny how the loudest Bible thumpers always seem to be the first ones caught with their halos in the gutter?

Ignore the media headlines reporting that freezing federal spending or shuttering federal agencies “raise questions” or “push boundaries.” It’s an anticonstitutional lawbreaking spree.

Massive protest happening in Union Square right now to defend trans youth from President Trump’s attempts at eradication.

Henry Waalce, FDRs V.P. said this about Fascism here. How so prescient. #USDemocracy

The transcript and footage of the CBS 60 minutes interview provide no evidence of an FCC rule violation. I see no reason to continue pursuing this investigation. The FCC should now move to dismiss this fishing expedition to avoid further politicizing our enforcement actions

Call 202 224 3121 to contact Senators Susan Collins,Lisa Murkowski and Mitch McConnell and ask them to please NOT CONFIRM Russell Vought for OMB. He is one of the architects of Project 2025.

If you've been waiting to call your senators about Trump's most dangerous nominees, time is running out. Senate confirmation votes for Russell Vought, Robert Kennedy Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard are expected in the coming days. We've made it easy for you to contact your senators. www.nixthenoms.com/?...

This is important! If you have not yet called your senator to OPPOSE Russ Voight’s nomination, the time is right now, especially if you are in a Red state. Vought is the architect of #TrumpsProject2025. 202-224-3121

My staff is hearing reports from Head Start programs in Oregon that they're still locked out of federal funds. My office is doing everything it can to get more info and get funds flowing before providers have to start closing their doors.

I gotta hand it to @sanders.senate.gov - he is sending out actionable emails - like today's that says "call your Senators via the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-2131 and demand that they vote NO" on Russell Vought for OMB.

Making Musk a "special government employee" provides a fig leaf that he at least has *some* governmental status, but you can't put SGEs in operational command control of government departments, they're for consultation and advisors etc. And they aren't allowed to do more than 130 days in a year.

Gender affirming care is the standard of care, according to all major medical associations. If individuals cannot make private health care decisions for themselves, then this isn’t America anymore. #respectindividuaiberty

Russell Vought: The Project 2025 Architect and OMB Nominee is Openly Coming for Our Democracy nwlc.org/russell-voug...

All true. Even were it not, one could argue that, given the authority Musk is exercising, and his lack of accountability to anyone (other than perhaps Trump), he is serving as a principal executive officer under the Appointments Clause, and is acting unlawfully unless confirmed by the Senate.

We warned everyone about Project 2025 constantly. Now, it’s closer to becoming a reality with Trump’s pick Russell Vought for Director of the OMB. Take a second right now to say hell no on this one:

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Not sure how to put it more clearly: Vought is the coup. Everyone who votes for Vought is doing a coup.

URGENT! Call your senators NOW and urge them to OPPOSE RUSS VOUGHT! Find your senators here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

Irony is dead in this moment along with common sense. Trump who squawked “but her emails” incessantly, let Musk (unelected/not a govt employee) send his crew of kids in to review classified information & plug devices of unknown origin into the government computer system, compromising everything.

Thank goodness. I strongly believe we need to confront our growing debt issue but… I just don’t think Elon and Russ Vought are the right people to handle this on the public’s behalf.

White women are about to be the latest to learn that when you support fascists because "they'll go after other people and improve things for me", "other people" always shifts to include you eventually (Tweet by Trump's new Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs)

@mollyjongfast.bsky.social has been on this Project 2025 nightmare from the start. Read her piece about how it's now a key foundation of Trump 2 just like she said it would be.

So, Mexico has agreed to do what it is already doing? www.reuters.com/article/worl...
