David Hogg can either go after other Democrats or he can maintain a leadership position in the DNC, but he can’t do both. Which is honestly how it should be. If he’s going to undermine the party, he shouldn’t be helping to lead it. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

A very important, elemental concept that I wish more people writing about policy understood is this:
***one person’s cost is another person’s income****
It’s the source of a whole lot of confusion and also an inherent source of conflict between different interests.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
