DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.

I obviously disagree w the Roberts Court decision that the groups in the probationary employees case don’t “presently” have standing

But the door isn’t closed—& we’ll be back in trial court tomorrow w other groups developing more grounds for relief

We will keep going!

The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous.

Because people are correctly interpreting MAGA’s use of the terms “DEI” and “woke” to mean Black.
The White House didn't say "stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen when you do US history." The White House said "stop doing DEI and wokeness," and the military interpreted it as "stop saying the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes, and maybe stop teaching about them altogether."

Yeah, that's bad.
Here's the thing about the Tuskegee Airmen history - there was nothing in the EO about it. Someone in the Air Force interpreted it that way -- which is far worse.

Donald Trump won less than 50% of the popular vote (49.8%) and won barely by a margin on 1.5% (Harris won 48.3%) - it was the fourth smallest winning margin since 1960.

Yet here is @politico.com's "West Wing Playbook" just casually mentioning he "won in dominant fashion.

Effing shameless.
