Judge Chutkan reported to have said she needs evidence, not media reports, of Musk’s incursions. When my bank balance turns up depleted, will that be evidence?

Inundated with pleas for support/donations. Social media and emails. I’m done. Unsubscribing to nearly all. The tipping point has been reached.

Thirsty, sir?

What is it about watching a 4-year-old tell a 78-year-old with the maturity of a 2-year-old to "shut up and go away" that is SO deeply satisfying?

Let’s see if this is true.

Exactly what we must do at our rep’s office:

Pete Buttigieg-ers, unite!

OMG. I so adore Connie Schultz, otherwise known as Mrs Sherrod Brown. She easily could qualify as a senator because she’s that caliber. I mean, like even levels above either of my two Texas senators. open.substack.com/pub/conniesc...

🚨🚨🚨Hochul, speaking on Maddow, changes tune slightly: from “no” on removing Adams, to “will consult…and process” and look at removal anew.

From her interview with Rachel Maddow, she is in discussion with many for their opinions and advice.

Principled resignations.

Unintended consequences of Musk calling USAID evil. Consider the lives affected. And weep.

Now this is truth,

More lies. Not fraud. Not waste. Just things Musk doesn’t like.

Score for her.

Lies, people, lies. All lies. Remember, everything coming out of this administration is lies.

As I said, too late. We got it.

This church is filled with people, their feet planted in their power for each other. This is UnidosMN.

Too late. They messed up. We got it.

Musk with the president, defended his gov reductions and asserted without evidence that his team had found major fraud and waste, assertions echoed by Mr. Trump. “They denied that DOGE presented a conflict of interest for Musk. His team has been dismantling federal agencies.” NY Times

Happy birthday, President Lincoln, who said: 1861: “I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.” To hear the truth, the lies must be rejected. Nothing said by MAGA is true.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

Elizabeth Warren persists. Her Maddow interview last night was gold.

With the penny on the way out it seems, we’ll be rounding up to the nickel. The 5 cent piece costs 14 cents to make, in case you care to know.

It’s 30° colder here in Central Texas today, Monday, than it was Saturday. I was at the swimming hole Saturday.

Dr. Patricia Bath invented laserphaco, a device and technique to remove cataracts. It performed all steps of cataract removal: making the incision, destroying the lens and vacuuming out the fractured pieces. Dr. Bath is the first Black woman physician to receive a medical patent. #BlackHistoryMonth

Tons of food USAID bought from USA farmers is rotting at the Port of Houston. Due to Elon’s ax-wielding at the agency, no one is overseeing where the food should go. DOGE is WASTING billions of dollars #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/watch?v=nDr-...

Alsobrook scores.

Try to watch.

Andy Kim (D-N.J.) on “Meet the Press” was asked if he would be willing to shut down the gov re Musk’s moves. “I cannot support efforts that continue this lawlessness when it comes to this adm..to be able to support gov funding only for them to dismantle the gov that should not be allowed.”

The shutdown issue could not be more complicated. It’s a lose-lose for Dems.
