“If enacted, it would create a two-tier federal workforce: one class protected by civil service laws, and another completely vulnerable to the whims of political appointees. Worse still, the measure is designed to coerce new hires into giving up their rights for the rest of their careers.”

Donald Trump wants a massive military parade for his birthday—tanks, jets, 6,600 troops—all on YOUR dime.

It’s grotesque. A wannabe king playing dress-up with taxpayer dollars.

I introduced the HAPPY BIRTHDAY Budget Act to block this nonsense. If he wants a party, he can pay for it himself.

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.

And get the money out

It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid.

While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

In 2019, in my Pittsburgh homeland, this city bus became legend as did the sinkhole it dropped into. After today’s defeat of Jean Stothert in Omaha’s Mayoral race in my adopted homeland, I’m confident no Omaha city buses will suffer this same fate. Our new Mayor John Ewing Jr. will fix our potholes!
