(1,2) The Democrats need to reorganize today. Forget House and Senate, become the Party for America and choose the best Democrat for different roles. Choose a Press Secretary first. Choose someone to lead each department being dismantled who can explain the impact to Americans.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once:
Congress must immediately act.
That is why Rep. Jeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.

Time to accept that we simply have a mad king. The guy slapping 25% tariffs on Canada's postage while calling for its annexation - and releasing scarce water into the Central Valley to fight already-contained fires in LA - isn't doing a bit or pursuing a secret, rational strategy

An executive order cannot supersede a statute. Congress has found ByteDance a danger to national security and SCOTUS has upheld it. Trump’s job as of noon tomorrow is to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” That means enforcing the ban until ByteDance sells TikTok.

With all the MAGA demonizing of government, we don't hear enough about hard working people who get sh*t done like Biden budget director Shalanda Young. Credit to AP for this well deserved shout-out. (Also: make note that she's being replaced by the author of Project 2025.)

Few know Shalanda Young. But she saved the US from the kinds of economic crises Trump now faces
Few Democrats found ways to negotiate with Republicans quite like Shalanda Young — whose work as White House budget director stopped several potential economic crises from erupting.
