This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Here’s my prediction for DOGE: Whatever minimal amount of money it may possibly save in the short term will be far exceeded by the ultimate cost of fixing all of the problems it creates. It’s already an epic failure.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Zelenskyy has shown the world what democracy means. Donald Trump is a convicted felon and a sexual pervert. These two men shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence.

Democratic governors should have all walked out together midway through that meeting but especially after Trump's attack on Gov. Janet Mills. I don't know why they didn't. Makes no sense.

Elon and other unvetted Trump enablers shouldn't have access to the entire nation's personal and financial data. Can my Republican colleagues acknowledge that? We're forcing a vote to block that access. Let's see where they land.

So Mitch McConnell won't be seeking re-election next year. Good riddance. He and Merrick Garland share much of the blame for this neo-fascistic second Trump term.

Ex-presidents' silence on Trump dismays some Democrats: Former Presidents Clinton, Obama, Biden and George W. Bush have barely uttered a word about President Trump's actions a month into his second term, to the dismay of Democratic critics who say their voices are badly needed. Those calling out…

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.

I keep coming back to the fact that Trump was impeached the first time for trying to extort Zelensky, and Republicans stood by Trump.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

I just heard...about 5 minutes ago...Rachel Maddow said that Trump has announced he is going to INCINERATE $500 MILLION dollars of COVID-19 tests...that taxpayers have ALREADY paid for. Something needs to happen...fast. This is bullshit that cannot continue. This. Cannot. Continue.

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

Hi Bill, you could have actually done something to reduce the exponential growth in vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks in the US in recent years. Instead you confirmed RFK Jr. Just to spell it out: that will have the literal opposite effect. Was selling your soul worth it?

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

I have this insane notion for all the angry young males… Put down your phones, go talk to a girl- a real one. Listen to her, women are endlessly fascinating, they’ll intrigue you to no end & it’s fun to make a girl laugh. You’re not right about everything & you’ll like every Real second of them 👌🏻
