Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:
•admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit
•expand the Supreme Court
Seriously: Why the hell not?

The Justice Department had once argued that Ghislaine Maxwell should be sentenced to at least 30 years in prison. Now its second-ranking official—and Donald Trump’s former lawyer—is aligned with a woman whose crimes the department had called “monstrous.”

Trump recently ordered the Department of the Interior to halt work on a huge wind farm.
1,000 union workers had already completed 80% of the project.
Now they're fired.
He made sure the oil and gas billionaires got their tax breaks, though.
Happy Labor Day, I guess.

Deregulation accounts for about 17 percent of the $175 billion in total "estimated savings" that DOGE claims.
But the numbers in this category generally have nothing to do with federal spending, the project's ostensible target.

DOGE's newly listed 'regulatory savings' for businesses have nothing to do with cutting federal spending
DOGE says regulatory changes will save $29.4 billion, but that does not amount to a reduction in government outlays, the initiative's ostensible target.
