It’s wrong to say leading House Democrats aren’t doing anything. As this thread notes, they’re lashing out behind the scenes at the few House Democrats who are doing something.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Trump's madness, lack of concern for human life and the rule of law, his destructiveness is not Western or modern - it is Putinism, a genocidal rage being channeled by Trump and Musk into America and throughout the world.

America does not need a ‘resistance,’ or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

President Trump just directly contradicted the Government's court filing in one of the most important cases before the courts. President Trump: "DOGE ... which is headed by Elon Musk who is in the gallery tonight." A boost for the plaintiffs in the Appointments Clause cases.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

This tweet from Elon Musk is, of course, false. The first known victim of DOGE died around February 2 after the refugee hospital that was giving her oxygen shut down. But the tweet will be useful as there's abundant proof he's lying (or ill-informed) about Ebola & restarting payments.

What Musk & his henchmen "at DOGE, the State Department, and elsewhere are doing to millions of people around the world is not the banal evil of “just following orders.” It is gleeful, intentional evil of the worst kind: the mass murder of helpless innocents." - @ryanlcooper.com
