I maintain...if DOGE (aka Elon) just had the restraint to go in and poke around at agencies, make a list, and then submit it to Congress to get these funding cuts they are so desperate to get, everything would have gone off without a hitch. But no, they (he) wanted splash & to make a show of it all

THIS!!! When you would hear focus groups say that Biden wasn't doing anything, it's because he didn't turn every act of his presidency into a show or event. Trump warped people's ideas of what "taking action" is. And, as much as I hate to say it, the next Dem President should take note

Van Hollen: And it's also important that people understand this case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

This out of touch and completely misses the point that low-middle income Americans do not care about the stock market. Biden and Harris pointed to the great market performance all the time as proof the economy was actually great, and voters said "yeah....I don't think so."

I think what’s most striking about the last few months is how rarely anyone in the GOP applies this simple test. A lot of checks and balances rely on this kind of worrying about precedent but it’s now totally absent, as if they don’t think they’ll ever be out of power again.

Q in the back from a dumb-dumb to those who know better (@annabower.bsky.social, @benjaminwittes.bsky.social, @joshuajfriedman.com): could the DOJ use this as a claim that the govt is attempting to facilitate his return seeing as that Chris is going there in his official capacity as a US rep?

I will NEVER understand this and it makes me feel 1000 years old! You could be my lifelong idol, or favorite celebrity, and just because I see a post/clip of you saying to buy/do something or that it's cool would have zero effect on my decision to buy/do it.
