Thanks Elon! After all of your cuts and dismantling of government agencies, spending is up 9%. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the government will borrow $1.1 trillion in the first seven months of FY 2025. Must be the $3.4 million it costs for "his" weekend trips to Mar a Lago.

Republican leadership scheduled the hearing on their reckless reconciliation bill at 1:00 am — because they know the public would never support it in the light of day. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are here to shine a light on this tax scam and fight for everyday Americans. Stay tuned. 🔦

Currently reading Edmund Morris's book "Theodore Rex" about the presidency of Teddy Roosevelt. I find it eerily similar to what we are experiencing today. Not surprised since "47" thinks this was the time America was great. It's worth the read. Anyway...I just saw this image of "him." Nuff said.

Question… After “his” performance at the Pope’s funeral, can “he” still call Pres. Biden “Sleepy Joe?”

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption. I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents. 1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

So much for the "meritocracy" system of government. I hope someone is keeping a scoreboard of the "clerical errors" and security foul-ups that the admin is making.

What’s really going on with the economy? I believe Trump and his billionaire buddies — the American oligarchy — have a plan. They want a recession. robertreich.substack.com/p/why-trump-...

Remember how Mark Zuckerberg started cozying up to Trump as Meta donated $1 million to his inauguration? Well now Zuckerberg is trying to cash in — reportedly lobbying Trump to settle the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Meta. This is why you always follow the money.

For a long time I doubted the business case for cryptocurrency. I see it now: it's the money we will use to pay the smugglers and black marketeers who bootleg bananas past Trump's border guards.
