I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

And thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov and Senator Alsobrooks for your votes.
Democrats: why do you continue to help Trump by voting to advance these nominees??? Collins will get confirmed without your help. Stop pretending there is anything normal about this administration or ANY of the nominees because they have all bent the knee to get nominated.

Can we call it a coup yet? (It is). Please tell your Democratic Senators to stop abetting it by voting for cloture and confirmation. And, no more talk of bipartisanship because that amounts to appeasement. Of course, also tell your Republican Senators that they are violating their oath of office.
an unelected billionaire storming into US agencies, installing his unqualified and unapproved lackeys, purging civil servants, seizing access to sensitive data and payments, unilaterally eliminating federal agencies: fine
identifying the lackeys: illegal

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual.

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

They can file articles of impeachment. Given the blatantly unconstitutional & explicitly illegal acts of the past week, including ignoring court orders, I don’t know what the hell the holdup is. We’re witnessing the Executive attempting an administrative coup over the Legislative & Judicial branches

Since 1/20, I’ve tallied at least a dozen incidents where impeachment is justified. If anyone is gonna start the process, I’m looking to @schiff.senate.gov to kickstart the process.

Background: 60 USAID employees had been placed on leave for “undermining” Trump’s executive orders. Nick Gottlieb was told by DOGE to then fire them. Instead he emailed all of them earlier saying he found no evidence of misconduct and used his power to take them off leave. Then he was put on leave.

I went canvassing with several USAID employees back in the fall. They knew they were fighting for their entire angency
A USAID HR director sent out this email today to staff letting them know he was placed on administrative leave.
“Today, representatives of the Agency's front office and DOGE instructed me to violate the due process of our employees by issuing immediate termination notices to a group of employees.”

To update people on the NSF PRFB situation: despite the court challenge and rescinding the original memo, the NSF has continued to comply with the executive order. They have not communicated with us at all and our paychecks are still canceled indefinitely. I know people who cannot pay their rent.

The rules, if you are keeping track:
If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever.
If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.
