Why do we need Congress if we let Elon tell us how to spend our tax dollars?

Historically DOGE was the ruler of Venice who acted as both the head of state and head of the Venetian oligarchy. Doges were elected for life through a complex voting process by members of the ruling families. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge_of...

My partner is a birthright citizen born to newly arrived Polish immigrant parents fleeing communism who had not yet achieved permanent resident alien status and who later became naturalized citizens. Under Trump’s executive order she would no longer be a U.S. citizen.

Here’s an idea I shared with the Lincoln Project. Create a GOP Courage PAC to promise to fund the reelection of (R) Senators who dare to say No to Trump. Spread the word. Fight dark money with dark money.

How about everyone starts pronouncing DOGE as “Douch”?The broverse will go nuts.

CalMatters reports Rep. Kevin Kiley, who won by 10 points in November, called for a federal inquiry into failures of response but it should not stop immediate relief to the victims and would not support tying aid to policies unrelated to wildfires. If you are in CA-03 write to give him support.

“Rep. Tom McClintock, whose district includes regions damaged by the 2022 Mosquito Fire, not only agreed with Trump, but said federal aid should bypass state officials and be administered “directly to the victims.” - from CalMatters.Tell Tom fire knows no politics. Shame.

In answer T’s insults to Trudeau, the Pacific Coast and Northeast blue states should open negotiations with Canada about realignment of national borders. Let red state America think about that for a while.

Opinion: What will the military do if Trump gives unconstitutional orders? - Los Angeles Times

My question exactly.

I’m fed up with getting fund-raising texts from obscure PACs disguised as surveys, petitions, or calls to action to support bills that have no chance of passage in this current congress when there is still important works that needs to be done this session, like confirming more federal judges.

Will National Guard Units Refuse?
If DJT attempts to declare a national emergency and federalize the National Guard to hunt down, arrest, imprison, guard, and deport million of undocumented immigrants will they obey? Or will many declare, “this is not what I signed up for” and refuse?
