Phang: Putting aside the big bullshit bill that just got passed in the House in the dark hours of the night, DOGE has single-handedly destroyed so much of our federal government. We, as Americans, deserve to know why they have done it, how they have done it, and what they are continuing to do.

You're seeing America kamikaze itself into a brick wall.
It didn't have to be this way.
But greed and racism, our two sins, will be our downfall.
Too many people still with their hands in the sand.

Congress folks:
You can
A) Stand up to fascism and possibly get primaried.
Or
B) Be a coward and let it happen.
If you choose B you care more about money and influence than America. You don’t deserve to represent us. I hope you get beat in the general election.

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution.
Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.”
Translation: No.
Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,
Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

These aren’t “reciprocal tariffs” and the media is lying if they present them that way.
This is an insanely stupid obliteration of the global economy. It is the economic equivalent of setting off a nuke from the floor of the NYSE. Framing it like anything else is a lie.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
