Splurged on a nice frame for this one! It took a while to arrive but I think it was worth it.

Van Hollen: "I would love to see them put up DOGE and Project 2025 for a vote in the US Congress. I predict it would go down. It's very unpopular, which is why they are using these illegal means... Trump knew this was unpopular on the campaign trail... now he's got Elon Musk doing his dirty work"

When we unionized a few years ago, a lot of peanut gallery types on social media wanted to tell me it would be the end of Wired.
Hope it’s now clear (thanks mostly to our insanely talented and hardworking politics team) that it does not work that way.
Unions are good.

It is interesting that it is when the sun goes down that the Dark forces rise. Bluesky becomes DARKsky.
Dark as in misery.

Me, checking bluesky: Oh god, this is the darkest timeline, we are so boned. I'm so scared. I just went to the gym I can't go again. I feel the hopelessness closing in...
*checks the time* Ahhhh, The Dark Hours, the time between 5pm and 10pm ET when everyone is processing The Horrors Of The Day.

Also, CFPB actually returned to taxpayers something like 10x its own budget in recovered scammy payments and fines.
I'd rather continue to fund the banking police (who have returned billions to consumers) rather than giving everyone a check for $2.15

Can someone remind me who elected Elon Musk to office? Oh, that’s right. NOBODY DID.
That’s why @raskin.house.gov and I introduced the Nobody Elected Elon Musk Act, which would ensure that Elon and DOGE Special Employees are held accountable for their reckless and illegal actions.

Sounds about right yeah
SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

Seriously @schatz.bsky.social is absolutely cooking in this interview. My favorite part is at the end, when he talks about Republican Senators who are unnerved by Trump: "You can’t be a senator in private. At some point they have to do something."

Musk in handcuffs & money out the door, & then we can talk about the unconstitutional impoundment being suspended. Until then, we're doing "Ned Stark has a piece of paper" stuff.

This, so hard. As a historian, I cannot emphasize enough how people have taken for granted peace and rights that millions died to achieve - in wars, in labor strikes, in hunger strikes, in marches, in social movements…and we’re watching that sail away because people were never educated enough on WHY

Quick reminder: a bureaucrat's likelihood to have the courage to disobey an unlawful or unconstitutional order is directly related to their expectation of being supported and protected.
Democrats should be promising to support federal workers who report illegal orders or refuse to comply with them.
