The Dems I want to see are the angry ones. I’m not sure “build a bigger tent” is at all what I want going forward. Party split followed by coalition-building, maybe.

"Did Trump just defy a court order?" YES, motherfuckers. Why in the fuck is that so hard for people to say? The judge told him to stop doing something, he did it anyway, IN DEFIANCE OF THE JUDGES RULINGS! WHY ARE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING FASCISM IN THE PASSIVE VOICE????

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated. There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds. Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121

If Elon makes it so seniors and disabled Americans can't talk to a real person over the phone, he is cutting off untold numbers of Americans from getting the benefits they have paid into their entire careers. That IS a benefit cut to Social Security—endorsed by Republicans.

This isn’t a clean funding bill – it’s a blank check to Trump and Musk to play games with the federal budget. This bill cuts domestic programs, undermines VA health care, and jeopardizes local infrastructure projects. Which explains why Republicans aren't holding Town Halls.

Republicans control the House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the White House. If there is a government shutdown, it will be because Republicans want one.

I founded and chair an "elite law firm" and we are not in retreat. I have spoken with many other "elite" firm leaders that are staffing up. What the WSJ means is large corporate law firms. Please do not confuse quality with cowardice.

1/ So everyone remembers this line of demeaning horse plop from Texas Rep. Ima Dingus, right? It was yesterday. Like many other Republicans right now, he's basically pulling the racist, Reagan-era "welfare queens" nonsense and giving it another run. So I looked at SNAP data for his district.

As we approach vote on government funding, let’s make one thing CLEAR: The government is already shutdown. Trump and Musk shut it down. GOP in Congress did nothing to stop them.

Eight former inspectors general who were fired by President Trump last month filed a lawsuit asking a judge to declare their removals illegal and order the government to reinstate them. It's the latest case to challenge a wave of Trump's actions that brazenly violated legal limits on his power.

Every time you see a “New Orleans strong” commercial remember that, in honor of the Super Bowl, the city rounded up their homeless population, forced them onto busses under threat of arrest, and piled them into an unheated warehouse at a cost of $17.5M. $17.5M that could have been spent on housing.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

So let me get this straight: the richest man in the world, with countless government contracts and ties to U.S. adversaries, is taking over our Treasury, in the name of "fighting corruption." The irony is almost as rich as Musk himself.
