Trump's Social Security Administration commissioner just called for a 50% staff reduction.
This would gut SSA field offices and make it harder for millions of seniors to access benefits.
Make no mistake: this is an attack on Social Security itself.

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest?

We’d laugh if this wasn’t so embarrassing.
Buddy Carter could have demonstrated real leadership for his district and vocally opposed the Trump tariffs, but he’d rather use his Congressional office to crack geopolitical jokes.

Also noteworthy: the president is trying to fire the FEC’s Democratic chair when it is set to rule on dozens of complaints from the 2024 election — including complaints against Trump and Elon Musk (who spent almost $300M to support his campaign) and complaints Trump filed against Harris + the media
In the entire history of the bipartisan FEC, no president has ever removed a member from the opposing party without naming a successor recommended by that party’s congressional leaders. This is an extraordinary break from that history.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Some context on the “jagoff”/JAG officer questions that arose during Hegseth’s hearing:
In his book, War on Warriors, Hegseth says JAG officers are often known as “jagoffs.” According to Hegseth, most JAG officers “spend more time prosecuting our troops than they do putting away bad guys.”

A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments.
Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

We should talk more about how abnormal it is for a special counsel's office to be shuttered by a change in administrations. Hunter Biden's SC stayed in place as did others. Jack Smith has to discontinue Trump's cases while he's in office but he has other defendants. Trump breaks norms & it's ignored

The same legal teams behind the seeding of Dobbs are driving a case to create religious schools fully funded by the public & they've already petitioned the Supreme Court.
Understandably, everyone was focused on the election.
