NEW: Treasury, White House officials claimed DOGE engineer who resigned today after WSJ inquired about connections to racist posts didn't have write access to code controlling trillions in federal payments when he actually did. This is from @telliotter.bsky.social, @leahfeiger.bsky.social, and me.

Oh, just Tulsi traveling with a Russian-separatist militia associate on a terror watch list…. in July. Of 2024. 6 months ago. Oh & Hezbollah members were chatting about her meeting “the big guy” (in Hezbollah?) in Syria in 2017. nbd. (If this headline isn’t burying the lede, JFC… 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️)

Any Senator who votes for RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, or Kash Patel are betraying their oath of office to serve their constituents and uphold the Constitution. Full stop.

Trump is trying to murder people, and if Congress doesn’t do something about it soon, it will be the end of Congress and the Senate and The End of America! 💯

A BIG thank you to my Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov for speaking the truth! Trump made false promises to workers during his campaign, and is ending policies that helped American working people. His plans are all about favoring the ultra wealthy. That's all Trump cares about.

Sen. Joni Ernst could've torpedoed Hegseth's nomination for defense secretary. She's a military veteran and survivor of sexual assault. Hegseth was credibly accused of abuse of women, including rape. Joni Ernst's "yes" vote will make women less likely to come forward. She voted for sexual assault.

Hegseth cannot be trusted to be a safe husband yet the GOP is prepared to put an alcohol abusing wife beater in charge of the Pentagon? Bloody hell! Just 4 no votes from the GOP is what the world needs. Will we get them? Probably not. What is the plan folks? thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Trump halts wind power leases. Hmm why? Oil and gas industry donated $32.3 million to Trump (per data from OpenSecrets). In comparison, Trump was able to raise only $453,687 from the U.S. renewable sector. Pay to play all the way. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Yesterday was a truly horrible day. But if today is any indication, I don’t think it will be long before Resistance 2.0 kicks into full gear. People are re-engaging, unable to avoid the horrible actions of Trump. And they are angry.

When I woke up this morning, I had a sick feeling. Not for anything having to do with me; for migrants who are in this country who have committed no violent crimes or serious offenses...who are about to have their lives ripped apart by a man who broke some of the most profound laws on the books. 1/5

NEW: Watchdog groups have sued the Trump admin to ensure DOGE complies with transparency laws. The suit alleges DOGE violates the Federal Advisory Committee Act because DOGE's "meetings are held in secret and without public notice, and records and work product are not available to the public."

New on MSNBC: Vice President Harris will fly back to Los Angeles today with an all-female U.S. Air Force crew — the first time an all-female crew has operated a C-33. Upon landing, Harris will visit a local fire station and then distribute food to community members impacted by the wildfires.

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his. It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this. I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock
