House Republicans on the DOGE committee held a hearing to investigate and defund NPR and PBS. Instead we need to have a hearing to investigate Trump trying to funnel $400 million to Elon Musk's companies then lying about it.

Trump & Musk are: -Lying about Social Security fraud -Making destructive cuts to SSA staffing and phone-based services -Threatening the security of people's personal information by giving DOGE access to sensitive SSA data Social Security is in crisis entirely due to them.

Swalwell: Hegseth is still the Secretary of Defense? This moron texts out our war plans, putting our soldiers at risk, and he’s not gone? Every one on that chat—they just fire off texts not knowing who is on the chat? They all should be fired if they don’t resign.

Buttigieg: What if this had, in fact, gone to somebody else? I mean, somebody who could plausibly be in some of these people's cell phones. I don't know, the Chinese ambassador or Russian negotiator. And the other question on my mind is how many other times has something like this happened?

Buttigieg: Nobody in Elon Musk's family is at risk from the kinds of economic or security harms that are going on here. They think all of this is a joke or a game because these are incredibly rich, powerful men who, frankly, don't have to worry about the kinds of things most Americans do.

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.

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.
