This means Trump/Musk could legally cancel funding for any program for any reason.
This is unacceptable.
A shutdown is bad. This bill is worse.

We have to talk about the absolutely insane CR the GOP has proposed.
This bill formally abdicates Congressional authority over the budget and allows the Executive to sequester funds for any reason or no reason at all.

Weldon’s confirmation hearing is this Thursday. He, like RFK Jr is a nightmare for CDC and everyday Americans.
We will cover his crazy as it arrives and encourage our colleagues to keep an eye on their blood pressure.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.
The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.
Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

This is a great message.
We all need to start looking out for one another.
Shop for your neighbors if they don't feel comfortable going out and shopping for themselves.
If you ever wondered what you'd be doing during the Weimar Republic days of early NAZI Germany. Your doing it right now.

Wait
I thought he was an appointee of the President himself
And that’s why he was head of all that
And, like, speaking in the Oval Office
And now he’s just…
Nobody?
Amazing backpedaling
Almost like
A circus act 🎪🤡

Well, isn’t this just a bunch of lies? The White House moved to clarify Musk’s role within the DOGE after a court filing this morning stated that the tech billionaire is neither an employee nor an administrator of the commission and has “no actual or formal authority to make government decisions.”
