Not holding townhalls because constituents are pissed off is the civic equivalent and stopping testing because that way the COVID numbers can't go up.

Wyoming Republicans have banned so-called “compelled speech” regarding pronouns. No one, they proclaimed, should be forced to use someone’s preferred pronouns. And yet, when Senate Chairman Tim French was addressed as “Madam Chairman”, he was not pleased. Not one bit.

Elon Musk is now presiding over the cabinet meeting. They're not beating the co-president allegations. (And co-president might be putting it charitably for Trump.)

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.

Rep. Suozzi: 26% of the federal workforce are veterans—26%. What about their service to this country? We encouraged them to apply for these jobs, and now we’re just taking away their livelihoods? It’s not just chaotic, it’s not just cruel—it’s unconstitutional.

MUST-WATCH: House GOP leadership refused to allow Rep. Brittany Peterson, who's on maternity leave, to vote remotely, but that didn't stop her. She showed up, not only voted but also spoke out against the GOP budget proposal with Sam, who turned 1 month old today, in her hands.

I came across this plaque the other day. My father served in the Defense Department for 37 years. Not.One.Sick.Day. Oh, and he was a WWII vet. Trump and Musk know nothing about that kind of dedication and loyalty. Our federal employees do, though.

Once again they screw veterans first. — Veteran-owned small firms hit first by VA's push for $2B in contract cuts. Service-disabled veteran entrepreneurs bear 89% of the claimed savings. Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins claims this is just step one. washingtontechnology.com/contracts/20...
