By a vote of 27-17, Senate Democrats voted to stop sending arms shipments to a Netanyahu government which has waged a horrific, immoral and illegal war against the Palestinian people.

In another instance of Trump's "policies" counteracting each other, his half-assed effort to "bring back coal" is compromised by his work to single-handedly make coal mining much more deadly for the people who want to do it.

Ironic on the day where he's expected to announce action against ActBlue bc it doesn't do enough to prevent foreign donations.

Someone just spent $8 million on $TRUMP memecoins after the president announced that the top holders would be invited to join him at a private dinner at his DC golf club.

The purchases were funded by a Binance account, suggesting the wallet owner is not based in the US.

All you need to know about Trump and coal captured in one sentence: "Several coal miners with black lung also declined to comment, saying they worried the administration would retaliate by revoking their federal benefits."

every @burgessev.bsky.social interview of a Senate Democrat feels like a catastrophic Nathan Fielder bit www.semafor.com/article/02/0...
THE NEWS Chuck Schumer's advice for Democrats staring at a long two or more years out of power: Just wait. "Trump will screw up," he told Semafor in an interview. The Senate minority leader and his 47-member caucus finally got their first major Trump administration stumble, after last week's rescinding of a budget memo that froze huge swaths of government spending. That unexpected pullback inspired Schumer to call an audible, turning his strategy of coordinated hits on President Donald Trump's blanket pardons of Jan. 6 defendants into a focused condemnation of Trump's budgetary moves. He called Trump's move "the best thing that's happened" to Democrats this year, predicting it would be the first episode of many. On Sunday morning, he quickly called a press conference in New York and lit into Trump's new tariffs on US allies. "I didn't know he'd screw up so soon" Schumer said in the interview. "There's a long way to go. This is going to be a pattern."

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.

Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."
SUBJECT: Temporary Pause of Agency Grant, Loan, and Other Financial Assistance Programs 'The American people elected Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal taxpayer dollar. In Fiscal Year 2024. of the nearly $10 trillion that the Federal Government spent, more than $3 trillion was Federal financial assistance, such as grants and loans. Career and political appointees in the Executive Branch have a duty to align Federal spending and action with the will of the American people as expressed through Presidential priorities. Financial assistance should be dedicated to advancing Administration priorities, focusing taxpayer dollars to advance a stronger and safer America, eliminating the financial burden of inflation for citizens, unleashing American energy and manufacturing, ending wokeness" and the weaponization of government, promoting efficiency in government, and Making America Healthy Again. The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve.
