This is a wildly dangerous sign — the idea that there are only five SCOTUS votes for paying congressionally mandated invoices for work already done!? This should be as basic a test of Article I as you can get. And that does not bode well for decisions to come.

I didn’t watch this but am I to understand that an elderly Black man stood up to a fascist, was then escorted out, and most of the white people in the room sat there and did nothing? Am I getting this right? I want to make sure before I say what I need to say.

This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.

NEW: The Trump administration claims gutting federal agencies will save money, but cutting the IRS means the government collects less taxes. “If you’re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why would you cut back on the revenue side?” one expert asks. By @andykroll.bsky.social

The Iowa GOP advanced a bill making it a misdemeanor for a healthcare provider to administer a Covid vaccine. Even when a person has requested a Covid vaccine.

My God: they are selling off federal buildings and no longer planning on collecting revenues. Again, none of this is about efficiency. I know the IRS is not popular, but for every dollar invested it generates about $7 in returns. The goal is not to save money but to stop collecting it.

Trump does not deserve to stand on that floor and give this speech tonight. He’s a fucking Russian asset. Treating him with the respect owed to the office of the presidency denigrates the office, and everything it stands for.

Every single Ohio GOP Representative (10 older white men) voted to gut Medicaid. It's the healthcare provider for 3,000,000 Ohioans -- 25% of the state's population And 6 in 10 seniors in nursing homes rely on medicaid Call these Congressmen and give them a piece of your mind #Ohio #OHpol

At this point countries should consider banning Musk products and sanctioning him outright like he’s a Russian oligarch. Nothing better you could do for the pro-constitutional forces in the US than helping economically annihilate this man

This is 100% bullshit. There are no algorithms. Musk and his incel clown posse are not forensic accountants and do not know how to audit. Discovering fraud is a labor-intensive project that can never be done by looking at payments alone. This is just a thinly-veiled rationale to gut Social Security.
