WATCH: @abbyphillip.bsky.social patiently tries to get batya & scott jennings to understand their views about deporting people to foreign prisons without due process are un-American and anti-constitutional. (And they both know it) 🇺🇸

March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE
This was before the tariffs
It's just...unbelievable

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

Today’s bonus issue of “One First” uses Tuesday’s executive order on elections to illustrate what a President can (and, as importantly, *can’t*) do through an executive order—and how major media organizations should do better in reporting on them:

Bonus 134: What Executive Orders Can (and Can't) Do
President Trump's ominous new executive order on election administration is constrained by the limits on what an executive order can directly accomplish, especially outside of the executive branch.

Trump is standing on a stage right now in the Dept of Justice calling out attorneys like Marc Elias by name accusing them of trying to turn the U.S. into a “corrupt, communist, 3rd world country,” and praising Judge Cannon for “modeling everything that a judge should be.”

But the CEO’s reputation isn’t the only problem. He’s also made a series of bad business decisions that are coming back to haunt the automaker.

It is legal to criticize the president. It is legal to criticize the president's actions. It is legal to criticize the president's advisors. It is legal and patriotic and the blood of a healthy society to hold those in power accountable, and even to mock them. Remember it.
Trump at the DOJ: "I believe that CNN and MSNDC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they are really corrupt and they are illegal. What they do is illegal."

New data from the US Treasury reveals that federal spending was $603 billion in February, which is $36 billion HIGHER than February last year under Biden.
