Confirmed DOGE is currently inside IMLS headquarters.
NEW — Keith Sonderling, Trump’s Deputy Secretary of Labor, has been named the Acting Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), an agency source tells me. He’ll arrive tomorrow at their office with DOGE and their security detail.

We know the difference between the cloture vote and the bill vote.
Don't play word games.
VOTE NO ON CLOTURE.
Voting no on the bill is meaningless without a no vote on cloture.
Democratic Senators: you are not fooling anyone with your no vote on the bill.

Just heard from someone who votes Trump re: the Hegseth cyber security order.
They'll be spinning this as good because they will claim it's only the offensive cyber operations. The administration will claim we still have defensive cyber operations.
Beware the creep of diminishing capabilities.
