He's also the House Representative of Virginia where a lot of federal employees reside and work.

Prediction: Calling it the MAGA salute to remove any plausible deniability and rebranding it for current times and pop culture history will help with the "Nazi or not a Nazi" bullshit. It's MAGA and it represents Trump in addition to the terrorism, hate, anger and retaliation from him and MAGA.

At this point, brand this shit. Yea, it's a Nazi salute, but the MAGA's will keep insisting it's not. So call it a MAGA salute and represents all the cruel, racist, misogyny that this current administration is pushing. This way it can't be argued "is it or isn't it a Nazi salute"; it's MAGA.

Four years on the job training with no previous experience versus a long Fifty well versed years is going to show at some point. This whole administration is only experience with government is online trolling and minimal experience, if any.

I just read Patel is going to relocate 1,500 FBI agents out of DC (DMV area) to other locations, including Alabama. What's going on there?

It seems the Constitution & laws are optional.
14A: No person... or elector of President... shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.
18 USC 2383 states like language.
Yet there he is.

The Speaker determines what bills go to vote on the floor. This could get deliciously noisy.

Charlie Kirk on his radio show which I caught on a road trip wanted Tucker Carlson to be VP pick to "spread American Populism around the world". He must be in his glory to see the right wing extremism at play.

I'm speculating. Article says its for the border which should be DHS not DoD; and to "fight China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and terrorism." And quoted Rep. Jodey Arrington, budget is to make DoD "ready to fight and win wars". What wars? Greeland, Panama & Canada?

Reminds me when the West Wing would have "Made in America" events at the White House so Trump could swing baseball bats, sit in Fire and Semi Trucks to play pretend. Like trying to keep a child entertained.

@starsandstripes.bsky.social is reporting that MAGA GOP is going to increase military spending by $100 BILLION. Is Trump going to call for an emergency and use the Production Act to make us a military industrial complex so buddies can make money in our attempt to take over allies?

I guess the "he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" in Article II Section 3 is optional?

Yea, while Dems have minority in the House, can interviews be done of those caught in this Elon purge? Get their stories. Set up a hotline. Zoom town halls.... but yea, we know that they want to tax the poor to pay the rich. But there's a sort of reshaping the Constitution happenin in real time.

Is he tone deaf? This is more than just a tax and budget situation. The grants, funds for people are being terminated. Thousands are being terminated from agencies. Is he aware of what is happening? Holy milquetoast messaging... this is shitty messaging. He needs to move past "tax scam".

Is a Motion to Vacate the Speaker still an option?

I truly have no idea wtf Trump is talking about and the people who laughed at Trump calling Trudeau "Governor" are assholes. It's stupid, petty and dumb.

I was confused by your reply. I went back to the site and the format changed a bit since I last clicked on it or I failed to see it before.
It's even worse than I imagined. This is the content of the "savings" tab.

The wording reminded me of when Stephen Miller in 2017 (Spray-on hair combover period) said"the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned".

I think I got a gist of this "everything everywhere" when the man took classified documents and stored them on a ballroom stage and a bathroom, saying he had the right to keep them because of the Presidential Records Act which is too complicated for him.

Has Durbin and others forgotten that 91 year old Grassley was more than ready and willing to step in if Pence didn't show up or had to vacate the Capitol on Jan 6 2021? Grassley is/was probably being investigated by the FBI for his role in the attempted Coup. Grassley's complicit.

I dare any reporter to ask Trump about how the great, late Hannibal Lector would feel about whatever the outrage of the day is. Make Trump do the weave.

Of course he thinks corruption is normal. He and his father developed buildings In NYC in the 1970's and 1980's when the construction industry was run by the mob.

I think there should be a word for a cuckold only for a person who enjoys watching their country get fucked and they have the power to stop it.

Musk appears to rely on manufactured outrage to fuel his populist appeal. His online trolling, inciting, instigating, and spreading unsubstantiated conspiracy theories and now "fraud" ~ resembles an ultra hypermanic version of CodeMonkeyZ/Ron Watkins, suggesting a deliberate strategy of fuckery.

The Government that I pay taxes to and knows where I work and how much I make and provided me a SSN? Imagine that! Would be a shame if someone breached security and accessed that information..... (yes, sarcasm)

If people mass protest, he'll invoke the Insurrection Act. Congress won't impeach and convict him. He has already said his oath doesn't require he abide by the Constitution, just preserve, protect and defend it. If we let MAGA GOP to "please proceed" with shenanigans, we lose our government. Sucks.

I interpret Senator Lee implying that Social Security is going to be invested in Crypto...

Seems the only tactics Trump and Elon knows is holding things and people "hostage", destruction, chaos to show their power. Oh, and doing quid pro quo 'favors'.

I recall Ben Carson had some budget challenges with his HUD office interior decorating too. Zinke also gave a "no bid" contract to 2 of his buddies for grid repairs in Puerto Rico for $3M. It begins....

Perhaps the bill proposed by Senator James Lankford (R-OK) didn't have such a big price tag on it to solve the same problem. Then again there wouldn't be a new way to "pay to play" with Trump and his billionaire buddies. I mean what good is a plan if it's not full of corruption?!

Bribes? Kickbacks? The audacity coming from the very same guy who paid $277 million to help Trump win and now has bought his way into our networks and access to the nations PII who also has global ties including Putin and is also a government contractor?
Holy what the fuck.

Put pressure on Speaker Johnson and Senator Thune to put pressure as oversight to Trump.
comment in response to

Please don’t use MAGA terms used in the Big Lie from 2020. Sends the wrong message.
Making a bill that is not going to pass in this climate is a waste of time.
Rethink this milquetoast strategy. Please.

holy shit - in not seeing/hearing him for a few weeks, he sounds like Granpa needs some Werthers and a nap type.

I get they want to keep on the whole "kitchen table" aspect and focus on everyday affordability. However this weak energy is not matching 2 million fed workers beign harassed to quit or be fired, or that Musk and his boy band has stolen the nations wallet via the US Treasury network with our PII.
comment in response to

"Unlawful meddling" is not how I would describe this. This is also not exactly a "Lets make a bill" situation. Put the spotlight and pressure on Speaker Johnson and Majority Leader Thune as to why they won't put some brakes on Trump.
Calling it "stop the steal" is also shitty choice. Too MAGA.
comment in response to
post
The Democratic Party needs to put aside these milquetoast posts and pressure Speaker Johnson and Majority Leader Thune in a position for them to explain why it's okay to let Trump let Musk access our PII and Treasury funds into Crypto.
comment in response to
post
What about putting pressure on Johnson and Thune to stop this recklessness?
By the time there’s legislative drafts, Musk and his boy band will convert US treasury funds into crypto

Can you put pressure on Speaker Johnson to know why it is he's not doing any action to address the Elon situation?

It's efficient to have no one bother them by saying "No" or to go through the procedures in place, such as Congress to make the changes they want to consider.
comment in response to

"sent via X". Oh. Okay. Not a Certified Registered Return Reciept or courier service- but on the social media platform Musk owns. It would be funny if it wasn't about national security especially the PII of literally everyone.

Democrats should make a motion to vacate the Speaker

Part of this Crisis is knowing that the Speaker of the House and Senate Majority leader are complacent in using their power to stop this chaos. They're accomplices.

I recall something in the recent years about vacating the Speaker even just to make a political point.

And Elon and his tech bros are accessing networks and limiting functions at federal agencies. Basically we’re watching in real time agencies being hacked by thugs whose only authority and clearance level is “I’m friends of the manager” level. it seems no one cares about this national security threat

“Times it by 10” is exactly what wife #1, Ivana, said about Trump in a documentary from decades ago when asked about Trump “punching back”.
