Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Update: 15 confirmed cases. Health officials are racing to offer vaccines to unvaccinated children, they're operating a mobile unit to screen for cases, pre-treating exposed infants. Schools & hospitals are on alert. Measles outbreaks are v hard to contain. A totally preventable situation.

Interestingly, in Loper Bright vs Raimondo, the conservative majority on SCOTUS ruled just last year that the judiciary can in fact overrule regulatory decisions made by the executive branch especially when those decisions are not specified by Congress.

All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

Again, buyer beware. Trump has neither the authorization nor an appropriation to fund this, and is bound by a law limiting the value of such payments to $25K. Inducing people into an agreement you can’t and won’t perform is called “fraud in the inducement.”

MAGA claiming Trump "won" because Mexico agreed to send troops to the border is laughable. He made the same "deal" in 2019, and nothing changed-especially with fentanyl, which is mostly smuggled by Americans. It's all theater.

This is exactly what we want to see from Democrats right now! There’s no excuse for Senate Democrats to be confirming any of Trump’s nominees while MAGA’s illegal power grab continues. If you’re represented by Sen. @schatz.bsky.social, be sure to thank him for fighting back against President Musk.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

Mexico out negotiated Trump. Mex gets to do a troop rotation or add additional troops to the already existing 10 to 20 thousand troops at the border. Trump caved and lifted the tariffs and is doing a victory lap for accomplishing.... checks notes securing Mexican defences against the US.

Only one Senator is demanding to know why our bank accounts and routing numbers have been given Elon Musks teams of hacking 20-year-olds. Where are the rest you spineless Democrats? Does Schumer even understand what access to the treasury system means? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
