I really think it would be better if Senate Democrats stop telling us what they are thinking about doing and just do it.

I hope the 15 Dem Senators who voted to confirm Bessent are happy with their decisions.
The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau stopped performing its oversight duties as soon as Trump appointed Scott Bessent as acting head, fulfilling the wishes of the country’s most powerful civilian, billionaire Elon Musk.

Don't worry, soon people will go after disabled people for being drains on the economy.
Let this sink in: there’s not a single state, city, or county in America where someone with a disability who receives SSI can afford a one-bedroom apartment.
SSI payments are capped at $943 a month nationwide.
The average monthly rent is $1,399—or an astounding *148%* of an SSI recipient’s income.

About 7.4 mil Americans benefit from Supplemental Security Income (SSI), but 50% of SSI recipients live below the poverty line.

The DOJ's "position" is not a law. It is just some bullshit policy they conjured to protect Richard Nixon in 1973. Presidents should fucking well fear being federally prosecuted when they commit federal crimes.
DOJ surrenders to Trump! Special counsel Jack Smith is dropping the case against Trump for attempting a coup. Per Smith: DOJ's "position is the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated.” This is how democracy dies! www.cnn.com/2024/11/25/p...

For fuck's sake, the Senate won't fill all the judicial vacancies in red states because of the custom of the blue slip, where a senator from the home state of a nominee can veto them. Dems refuse to end it, so Trump will have about 20 vacancies he can fill as soon as he slimes his way into office.

TIL that one reason raw milk is having a comeback is a lot of people don't know what pasteurization is. They think it's adding "chemicals" not a rapid heat treatment
