She doesn't mention cloture specifically. But I think it's clear what Pelosi is saying here. And I think her saying it is a pretty big deal.

Just restating the simple point: President lacks the constitutional authority to close a department created by Congress. Full stop. Both the creation and on-going funding of these Depts are LAWS not suggestions. This is criminal conduct. www.wsj.com/politics/pol... via @WSJ

Secretary Linda McMahon would be directed to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure” based on “the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.”

This is frightening
The anti-DEI purge is causing censorship of artists, and for no reason. You can't have shows by artists who are not white or straight if US funds part of it? That's an insanely broad interpretation of Trump's orders--which are being challenged--but everyone is scared.

Egg companies want you to believe that bird flu and inflation are solely responsible for egg prices skyrocketing.
But there's evidence pointing to a massive corporate price-gouging scheme spanning the egg industry.

As the GOP eyes Social Security cuts, people should realize that our government spends nearly 4X as much on tax breaks for private retirement savings that disproportionately benefit the rich. Latest cost estimate: $2.5 TRILLION over 5 years. (2023-27). Both parties are responsible for this.
How Congress made sure the rich retire in luxury—at our expense
Savings plans pitched as helping the middle class have turned out to be a gold mine for the wealthy.

I’m thinking about federal income tax.
If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we?
Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

MN is proud to help feed the world (in fact, this program was created by Hubert Humphrey). Now not only is that in jeopardy, but millions of dollars in income for farmers is too? Disgusting.
