We never had to doom scroll past midnight through posts about skyrocketing treasury yields, a collapsing bond market, and plunging stock futures when Joe Biden was president.

The only reason they should have called him Sleepy Joe is because we were able to sleep at night.

This is the part that should’ve prompted a resignation at the close of the hearing.

Good grief.

As Musk was busy blowing up Space X rockets, Europe's new rocket Ariane 6 successfully carried out its first commercial mission, placing a French military satellite into orbit and confirming the continent's independent access to space and further cutting reliance on US systems. #StandWithUkraine

This flew under the radar, but Trump says his administration won't enforce an anti-money laundering law that requires corporations to disclose information on who really owns shell companies to the Treasury.

The U.S. Treasury Department will no longer enforce a "beneficial ownership" reporting requirements that are aimed at curbing money laundering and shell company formation.

I'm going to stop working for the night, before I do: I need you to know that they haven't won yet. Tonight was bad, but they still have more votes they need to win before they cut Medicaid.
Alright friends, we're about to lose the vote on the budget resolution.

We WILL keep fighting.

This is the first vote they need to take, it is not the last. They will have to come back in a couple of months for another vote with firm numbers they're cutting SNAP and Medicaid and Medicare by.

WELP. They sent everyone home, and now they've just reopened the series and put the bill back on the floor.

Members had left Capitol Hill for the night, now they are turning around and driving back, I've never seen this happen before in 10+ years working here

Just got off the phone with Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), who said Elon Musk's DOGE team is "actively dismantling" federal Department of Education programs today.

"They are in the building, on the 6th floor, canceling grants and contracts."

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

I called my rep for the first time last week about a different bill. It's a lot easier than I thought it would be.
This is ridiculous.
