This is the ethos of project 2025, dismantling the federal government by any means necessary
by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

Every Democratic Representative should be rushing to support Representative Salazar, a Fla Republican

It's the right thing to do and it Floods The Zone with confusion. And shows Dems doing the right thing in a red district. @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social

“Trump’s demand that Smith’s report be suppressed is a useful reminder that he really hates truthful accounts of January 6th, even if—especially if—they are based on testimony under oath from many different individuals, including many who worked for him.“
"The loathing is easily understandable. Politicians don’t like scrutiny. But one senses in addition to the hatred and the loathing, there’s an element of fear." Even more important, then.

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest:

So now some of these so-called Caitlin Clark fans are mad because she acknowledged and elevated the contributions of Black WNBA players and that benefits from white privilege. In short, some of them are mad CC isn’t the racist they wanted her to be.

Q&A for #NickelBoys last night. This movie is beautiful in a lot of ways. It’s visually stunning & challenges the audience in following along for an unconventional ride. It also challenges the audience to arrive with some understanding of modern American history, without holding their hands. Bravo

What’s worse?

(1) having your mother call you out as a dirt bag in an email published in the New York Times

(2) having a porn star you paid $130K in hush money pick little plastic mushrooms depicting you off a tray on the Jimmy Kimmel show

The Republican House majority may very well end up being the smallest in 100+ years.

Just 1 GOP defection and the Dems could kill a bill.

Those motherfuckers think they handed that rapist felon traitor a “mandate.”

Not even fucking close.

In case you ever thought your vote didn’t matter…

Check out the current vote totals in CA-13.

LESS THAN 200 VOTE DIFFERENCE.

Now we ALL can help cure ballots in the few undecided races left, including CA-13.

Former Florida AG Pam Bondi received a $25,000 donation from the Donald J. Trump Foundation and four days later, she announced that the state of Florida wouldn’t pursue a legal case about Trump University.

And that’s who Trump wants for our AG now. Fucking delightful.
