Sitting judges targeted for impeachment or misconduct complaints by the Trump admin are speaking out publicly — some for the very 1st time — because the danger to judicial independence, they say, is now “unprecedented” and growing terrifyingly and intimately violent.

Texans are projected to have higher electric bills & lose over $100 billion in investment if the US Senate passes the House bill as is. The industry will survive but we'll experience reduced grid reliability and economic slowdown, esp. over next few years.

The Abrego Garcia case — I have questions. Has anyone seen the contract with El Salvador or the Prison? Is the $6 million payment for taking the prisoners forever, for a month, for a year? Have we just trafficked these men? Are they there for their lifetime? I have found no answers. Journalists?

Trump has damaged America forever.
We're now viewed as an unreliable partner - business can never trust him and any government policy - our allies don't see us as an ally anymore - our enemies are emboldened.
Trump destroyed our soft power advantage.

Thank you @juliejohnsontx.bsky.social for calling out Rep. Self’s quote of an actual Nazi. This cannot be normalized.
Despicable. Republican Congressman Keith Self quoted Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda minister, during a congressional hearing.

As Trump Goes After Universities, Students Are Now on the Chopping Block
Uncertainty about how much money colleges and universities stand to lose has led some schools to reduce the number of doctoral students, in some cases reneging on offers.

Special ERCOT Board Meeting Tomorrow May Approve Wasteful Spending

The game plan is privatize and monetize. It is happening in Texas too with school vouchers as our latest example.
Trump team is sabotaging our government. OMB nominee Russell Vought has said he wants to put career civil servants “in trauma,” so that when “they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.” Why? Privatize and monetize!
The Senate should reject Russell Vought’s nomination to be Director at OMB - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
Russell Vought should not be confirmed as Director at OMB since he was a central figure in attempting to implement Schedule F.
