Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

US Senators from every one of these states—AR, TX, KY, MO, OK, MS, TN—(1) approved Trump/Musk/Doge cuts to NOAA and FEMA, and (2) said Calif would need to change its internal policies before getting federal help for LA fire disaster. Every one of these US Senators happens to be MAGA/GOP.

A reminder about the Smithsonian: the Vice President has a seat on the Board of Regents (defined by law). But he’s not chair of the Board, or vice chair, and he’s not on the Board’s executive committee. Structurally he has one vote.

If Pete Hegseth was a Black man, Trump and his entire cabinet would be blaming his breathtaking incompetence on being a “DEI hire.” Hearings will be forthcoming, right?

How many Signal chats with sensitive information about military operations are ongoing within the Pentagon right now? Where else are war plans being shared with such abject disregard for our national security? We need answers. Right now.

To recap: Trump admin is firing Social Security employees; requiring beneficiaries to visit field offices in person instead of calling; and then saying any beneficiaries whose checks don’t come, and who therefore can’t pay the rent, must be fraudsters. Insane. And not what Americans voted for.

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter. Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them. Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

WATCH: By eliminating the consideration of carbon’s costs, the Trump admin not only stands to eliminate the consumer benefits, but also allow carbon emissions to grow unabated, intensifying the very increases in 🌎 🌍 🌏 temperature that are driving the broader economic damages. 📰: @abrahm.bsky.social

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

ICYMI: my piece on how Trump's move to take control of the independent federal agencies (SEC, FTC, FCC, etc.) is premised on the Supreme Court's willingness to throw out a century or so of law, which it hasn't yet done. "Break the law and see if the courts stop me" is a whole strategy for him.
