Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

No shit Sherlock! If you reduce revenues by $4.5 trillion and cut spending by $2 trillion, you still have a deficit. Republicans have been scamming America for decades. It’s not about the cuts; it’s about the revenues. You want to cut the deficit and debt? Cut the f-n tax breaks for billionaires!

The debt is so bad we have to fire military veteran park rangers but not so bad that we can’t add trillions to give Trump and Elon more money.

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

Craig Strong recently installed a new, more efficient grain dryer on his farm; it was supposed to be funded, in part, by a federal program to reduce the need for fossil fuels in rural communities. Now, he and other farmers aren't sure they'll be paid back. (via @wskg.bsky.social)

The GOP wants to TAKE AWAY healthcare from 72 MIL people! This will lead to delayed diagnoses, untreated illnesses, and unnecessary deaths. All to fund tax breaks for the rich. These are the same folks that have been trying to pass legislation that forces women to give birth. #DontCutOurMedicaid

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

The disrespect has been shocking but this is now full on contempt. All it takes is 3 Republicans to join us and leave behind the silence and complicity. We must call out Musk on his harassment of the civil servants who keep our country running. Keep the pressure on.
