3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Who is the administrator of DOGE?

Yesterday, Taylor Popielarz of Spectrum News asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitz to answer that question.

But she wouldn’t say.

A quick read on the 10 phases of the war in Ukraine. If you haven’t been following, this one is for you.
Rubio’s diplomatic experience is limited to his time in the Senate, where he primarily focused on Latin American policy. Lavrov is the longest-serving foreign minister in modern history. And Rubio can't represent his own viewpoint.

Ukraine still has an opportunity to win the war—if the Trump administration will let it.

Pete - we need a daily opposition Press Briefing. We can’t rely on the White House, and we need the public to hear rebuttals and corrections to the lies and misinformation.

Please, please work with Dem leaders and make this happen! The media (especially the “legitimate” ones) will cover this!

The US DOT says it's planning to prioritize areas with high marriage & high birth rates for funding.

Our new analysis @urbaninstitute.bsky.social shows this would disproportionately fund:
—Communities with a higher white resident share
—Low-density areas
—High-income areas
—Car-dependent areas
DOT’s Plan to Distribute Funding by Birth and Marriage Rates Would Leave Communities Most In Need Behind
If enacted, the new US Department of Transportation memo would prioritize funding to whiter, higher-income, more car-dependent areas over communities of color and people who walk, bike, or take public...
