Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

She doesn't mention cloture specifically. But I think it's clear what Pelosi is saying here. And I think her saying it is a pretty big deal.

Susan Crawford is running to defeat Elon Musk’s chosen candidate - and Elon’s millions of $$$ - in the Wisconsin State Supreme Court election on April 1st.

Her @crawfordforwi.bsky.social only has 2.5K followers and it needs A LOT MORE to help get her message out.

Trump won because of a post-covid inflation spike CAUSED BY TRUMP and is now using the new power he has to cause ANOTHER INFLATION SPIKE.

This cycle has been true of every Republican President since Reagan. Trump is simply the most corrupt and stupid of the lot.

Trump took laps at the Daytona 500 today, like some tin-pot dictator. What a tool.

Somehow, we can spend millions on this stupidity and him being at the Super Bowl, but SNAP and cancer research need to be cut. Make it make sense.

How can anyone support such a shallow, self-absorbed person?

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

There you have it. The Economic Policy Uncertainty Index (www.policyuncertainty.com) just hit an all-time high, surpassing its previous high from May 2020 - the teeth of the #COVID pandemic.

Consequences: worse investment climate, higher risk premia, (likely) higher interest rates...

?? It’s no mystery where the money goes; this has been asked and answered.

70-75% of US spending is on Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Pentagon and veterans + interest on the debt.

Foreign aid is 1% of the budget.

You can read this in a CBO or OMB report! Easily available.

“Fact Based” well it is a fact that it’s the “Gulf of Mexico” and a fact that I will not be supporting @axios.com
Weak, complicit, so incredibly disappointed that you have bent the knee @axios.com . You're no longer on my radar.
Weak sauce, @axios.com

We’ll be calling it “Gulf of Mexico” even in the gulags, and we’d boycott White House pressers if we were up there to stand in solidarity with the AP — even if they won’t stand in solidarity as we’re banned from Speaker Sexton’s pressers here in Tennessee.

All of these funds are now frozen and employees distributing these funds are being laid off. All of the hard work they have put in the past year now waisted. Organizations now on the hook for money spent that they will not receive. Money they can’t afford to lose.
The Inflation Reduction Act, contains a little known provision of $1.5 billion for the US Forest Service to plant and maintain trees across American cities.. This is 40 times bigger than the agency's typical annual urban tree budget.

The secret ingredient in Biden's climate law? City trees.
Caring for urban trees can be a challenge. $1.5 billion from the Forest Service should help cities manage the job.

Someone else said it, but this should be the biggest scandal in American history-Watergate on steroids and speed.

If this is true, the president is tearing through the DoJ to find a lawyer to break the law.

No ambiguity about wasteful spending or administrative procedures-just naked lawlessness.
Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.
