Why is this being called a shouting match in the press? The only people shouting were the idiot, spouting lies, and Miss Manners saying Zelensky hadn't properly written his thank you notes. Zelensky was as composed as a person could be while trying to talk sense while the other two blathered.

Finally someone had the courage to stand up to the Orange Emperor and speak the truth. Hats off to you, Mr. Zelensky.

Someone find every Harper's Letter signatory to see if they've said anything about this

Government efficiency is when every federal agency has to send a daily emergency email to its workers telling them to ignore another daily email from a different department trying to fire them without knowing what their jobs are.

Amazing reply to DOGE. IM GONNA DO MINE!!! What email do we use?

It would be far less time-consuming to just document when he tells the truth. shorturl.at/tohgb

"It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if you took everything that was bad about America, scraped it off the floor, put it in an old hot dog skin & taught it to make noises with its mouth" #PRESIDEMENTIA

Trump announced today that Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine. Apparently he was misinformed yesterday when he said Ukraine started the war. Funny how Biden's sanity was called into question so often

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

“Congress wants to cut government but not their own budgets. Elon Musk's 'Dept. of Government Efficiency' wants to slash spending—except on his own gov-funded ventures. If they’re serious about cuts, they should start with their own staff and perks. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/elon-musks...

The reason why this is bad is the very fact that it’s transparently ridiculous: it shows how this is becoming a Kim Jong-Un-style cult of personality, where the sycophants try to outdo one another in their groveling to get the attention of Dear Leader.

The total estimated savings when using Cost Plus Drugs compared to Medicare was $462,375,491.53 and $618,833,850.34 for 30- and 90-count pricing, respectively.

1. Yesterday, Representative Nancy Mace shouted an anti-trans slur into the microphone at a congressional hearing three times in a row. When pointed out that she was egregiously breaking decorum, the chair ruled she was not. Subscribe to support our journalism. The latest from Mira Lazine.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

This dude is working hard to bring down the cost of eggs.

Starting an avoidable trade war is not strength. It’s weakness. Strength would be able to fix this without pouting and throwing a fit. Trump is still a child, a weak, scared, whiney, child

"We've sat here and listened to Trump talk about grocery prices and rent prices and housing prices and egg prices. Yet what’s been done to take on ANY of these issues? How is eliminating DEI gonna lower your grocery costs? How is a withdrawal from the WHO gonna lower your grocery costs? It’s not."

The USAF has reversed itself "after uproar." We must continue to pay attention. We must continue to preserve & share the stories of the Tuskegee Airmen & the Women Airforce Service Pilots. I promised them I would always tell their stories. You can too. Knowledge is power! www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

1. Iowa governor Kim Reynolds is pushing a new bill that would remove transgender people from the state civil rights act. Another bill would classify trans people as disabled. Attacks escalate in state legislatures. Mira Lazine writes the latest. Subscribe to support our journalism.

"If it feels like an insurmountable amount of garbage is being dumped on us, that's by design. It’s creating such an avalanche of disappointment that we're left feeling disheartened, disillusioned, and discouraged. He wants us to become so numb to injustice that it becomes our new normal."

The acting attorney general said the agency could no longer "trust" them to carry out Trump's agenda.

TikTok took it down, so let’s share the shit out of this reading list. #HolocaustRemembranceDay #NeverAgainIsNow #BookSky #StateMediaCensorship

Working on getting those prices down I see.
