As someone who has worked in special education and education in general - repealing this will be devastating. I guarantee you know people who’ve benefited from this. They always say they don’t want to get rid of it just change it and we should know by now not to believe them. Fool me once…

The Department of Agriculture fired employees working on the avian flu outbreak because of DOGE. DOGE works directly for President Trump. So from now on, when this kind of thing happens, it should be reported as, "Trump fires employees working on avian flu."

If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this. Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.” What?! 👀

You know those times when someone claps after a plane lands and we’d chuckle and maybe clap along too just for fun? Yeah. We should start clapping every time our flights safely land. Also, huge respect to flight attendants. They don't nearly get the respect that they deserve.

I'm genuinely sorry for your personal loss. But not for our nation's loss. Your brother was a toxic, lying influence that instrumentally contributed to the current environment of hate, division, and disinformation. We are all better without him. Bye, girl!

Last week, Elon Musk appeared alongside Trump in the Oval to defend the work of DOGE. Looking directly at Musk, Trump asked; “Could you mention some of the things your team has found?” Tonight, the government claimed that Musk isn’t in charge of DOGE & isn’t a DOGE employee.

Last Fall, the Washington Post allowed a right wing group to run a full page ad falsely attacking me for protecting voting rights. Today, Bezos' paper won't accept ads criticizing Elon Musk. Support pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down. The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape. Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

Donald Trump is asked about high prices, especially egg prices, hitting an all-time high. "Remember, I've been here for 3 weeks." So basically Donald admits he hasn't been able to do jack since he's been in office.
