200 million dollars of waste.

DOGE makes the Mar-a-Lago bathroom look like a damn SCIF

“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” - Hagan Scotten, assistant U.S. attorney, S. District of New York

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Hey, Hakeem. This is how you do it. www.mediaite.com/tv/eric-swal...

@connolly.house.gov You need to raise your camera to eye level and get a ring light.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ,how about mentioning things like this instead of your namby pamby weak broth?

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social The Democratic response should not be the "subject of ongoing conversations" or "something that has to be worked out" to use your words just now. It is a five alarm fire to which you and Grandpa Schumer must respond forcefully NOW! Grow a pair.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Border Czar Tom Holman saying he us going to be "up [Adams] butt" is not an "extraordinary statement." it is a "complete perversion of our legal system that disqualifies everyone involved and that he judge should not accept."

Reupping on the corruption of the Eric Adams dismissal, with updates in the comments. open.substack.com/pub/stephenk...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social This is pathetic. How about saying that "Adams is ABSOLUTELY compromised and should quit," not, "the Mayor's going to have to answer those questions." Good Lord.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social It is not a "legitimate question" whether Adams is compromised, he IS 100% compromised. What is the matter with you?

After the dismissal without prejudice, @NYCMayor Eric Adams is Trump's puppet and the Justice Department is a Trump subsidiary. open.substack.com/pub/stephenk...

JD Vance, whose wife is the daughter of Indian immigrants, advocated today for the rehiring of a DOGE engineer who was accused of posting “normalize Indian hate” on Twitter. What a pathetic, spineless coward!!

Good lord. Still, he belongs in the HOF. (Bonds and MJ)

The Democrats need to aggressively debunk all of the false USIA payment rumors, like funding Politico, sending $8 million condoms to Gaza, or paying stars millions of dollars. Yelling on the street is not helping.

Go Pete

This toxic beanie-wearing hobbit with the geopolitical acumen of a titmouse will probably get White House press credentials in the near future.

This is why you don't throw Andy Kim out of the opposition. bsky.app/profile/benu...

With nearly every action that Trump and his billionaire co-presidents take, there's an opportunity for Democrats to transform ourselves back into a working class party. I ran in order to contribute some thoughts about how best we make that change happen: youtu.be/nkLp1ny4nIE

Every senior Democratic lawmaker should be on a podium countering Trump’s offensive policy proposals. A daily press conference, an address to the nation, just something. The silence is deafening. Their strategy appears to be to just let him tire himself out. Except he won’t... He. Won’t. Stop. #HELP

From @rbreich.bsky.social on Facebook.

Why are there still people in Afghanistan who need to get out?

Last time. How Biden led us back to Trump and the civic disaster that awaits us.

Lovely.

Even Barron thinks he’s f*cking annoying.

Officer Brian Sicknick was killed on J6 because of Trump — here’s what Brian’s father said ⬇️⬇️⬇️ "Trump makes sure he gets his face out there. The guy’s a criminal. He’s the reason my son is dead—because of the riot at the Capitol…There’s nothing good about that man."

How Joe Biden saved us from Trump and then led us back to him through hubris, poor communication and faulty policies. open.substack.com/pub/stephenk...

In my latest Substack post, I try to understand how Biden led us back to Trump. open.substack.com/pub/stephenk...

Found this one Reddit:

Backlash to backlash to backlash

The richest man in the world is complaining that he didn't get $100 million in corporate welfare from the government (sigh)

They are such mrons

Tammy Duckworth did a great job. Many others have not mastered the art of cross-examination.

Change of pace. Meet Benny and Simon.

Breaking News: A judge cleared the way for the Justice Dept. to release a portion of a report written by the special counsel, Jack Smith, detailing the decisions he made in charging President-elect Trump with plotting to overturn the 2020 election.
