@jahimes.bsky.social on the risk of DOGE employees possessing classified information: “It might be as simple as leaving your phone on the table at Starbucks — if that phone has information… it could wind up in Iranian hands. They fact that they haven't undergone training… people should be worried.”

I really don't understand the ambiguity here. Trump deputized the richest man on the planet to unilaterally cut off congressionally-funded and congressionally-authorized agencies. A power which neither of them can wield legitimately. That was the beginning of the constitutional crisis right there.

@raskin.house.gov: "This is a coup, which is a seizure of state power by unelected actors... In addition to everything that Trump is doing to dismantle every part of gov’t that doesn't profit him personally, we have this additional problem of Elon Musk trying to consolidate state power under him."

I can’t begin to tell you how fucking tired I am of being told we can’t react to everything Trump and his monsters do. All I see is an excuse to do nothing. Out here in the real world people are reacting.

Eliminating the DOE hurts the most vulnerable. Trump wants to “send education back to the states” — seemingly oblivious to the fact that it is already there, as any state official will tell you.

Trump’s solution to Gaza? Just make the Palestinians disappear. Technically, that would ‘end’ the genocide—if there’s no one left to kill. Classic Trump logic: clear the land, slap his name on a casino, and call it a win. Six months, tops, before he moves on.

Never forget that he could have stopped this. In the aftermath of J6, he could have ensured Trump could never be president again by whipping votes to impeach. That failure is McConnell’s legacy.

Want to know what a federal funding freeze does? It takes money from families that just lost their home in a wildfire. It takes resources away from vets. It leaves 72M Americans without access to healthcare. Trump, Elon, & their billionaire buddies laugh their way to the bank while Americans suffer.

Among other things, Trump’s latest unconstitutional move will pause research on cures for childhood cancer, close homeless shelters, halt food assistance, reduce safety from domestic violence, and shut down suicide hotlines. People will die. Is this what you “price of eggs” voters wanted?

From Medicaid to SNAP to Head Start, there are dozens of federal programs that could see a freeze today. I did some research and outlined all of the programs that could be impacted: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

This is exactly why we need a new sense of urgency at the DNC right now. As a former mayor and governor. I know the impact this will have. We cannot sit on our hands while Trump snatches dinner off our families tables and strips our cities and states down to nothing.
