It’s official - Trump is accepting Qatar’s luxury jet bribe as he tries to kick Americans off health care and take food from hungry kids.
Every American should be outraged.

Breaking: Its the middle of the night at the US Capitol and a crowd of very angry people are standing in the rain, because they want to know why Republicans are voting to cut their Medicaid benefits right now.
Dem Minority Whip Katherine Clark is currently outside talking to them.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

A trade war + a budget busting, deficit-hiking, debt-exploding Maga tax bill has the bond market very, very nervous.
Many of the assumptions built into the Republican billionaire tax cut assumed lower interest rates, and we are headed in the other direction.

We need to lower costs for Americans — including on prescription drugs.
I just reintroduced the SMART Act with Senator Welch to lower prescription drug costs by accelerating Medicare’s ability to negotiate prices for more drugs on behalf of the American people.

This is Dot. She has vitiligo, a rare genetic condition that causes skin and fur to lose pigment. Her transformation started just before she turned 3, and she was completely white by 6. Fortunately, vitiligo doesn't pose health risks to dogs, and Dot pulls off her unique new look wonderfully. 14/10

House Republicans Are Ignoring the First Rule of Political Survival
It used to be that if you wanted to get reelected, you would never hurt the economy of your own district. The debate over clean energy subsidies shows how much has changed.

Also: In March, Musk’s personal lawyers said in a court filing that he’s “in charge of Establishing and Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency..”
They then linked to the executive order creating the U.S. DOGE Service, which the SG now says Musk is “not part of.”

![Corp.'s highest ranking official first-before they depose any lower-level employees, and before submitting interrogatories to Musk. They clearly have not exhausted other, less intrusive means of discovery.3 And again, simply using the 9 hours of Musk deposition testimony they already have access to is clearly less intrusive than ordering another deposition. See Reif, 248 F.R.D. at 452 (citing case denying deposition where plaintiff already had copy of "prepared statement" from the apex witness).
And the presumed undue burden from a deposition is heightened because Musk is not only X Corp.'s (and other companies) highest executive, but he is a high-ranking government official. Cf.
Apple v. Samsung, 282 F.R.
259, 263 (N.D. Cal. 2012) (weighing "a person's degree of 'apex-ness'
in relation to these factors"). The White House has designated Musk a "special government employee" in charge of Establishing and Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency ("DOGE"). 90 FR 8441, https://tinyurl.com/26vey9vr Such "high level government officials [must be] permitted to perform their official tasks without disr lion" by depositions, given their "greater duties and time constraints than other witnesses." Johnson v. Atty Gen. of N.J., 2015 WL 4915611, at *3 (D.N.J. 2015). This rule raises Plaintiffs' bar under the apex doctrine, which they clearly have not met.
C. There is palpable risk of harassment here. Plaintiffs have not satisfied either requirement necessary to justify an apex deposition. Both requirements ultimately serve to deter depositions that would harass or unjustifiably burden executives and government officials. See, e.g., In re Transpac. Passenger, 2014 WL 939287, at *5 (N.D. Cal. 2014). All available evidence suggests that Plaintiffs seek to depose Musk for an improper purpose, which the Court should not indulge.
At the meet and confer, Plaintiffs' counsel would not agree to limit the topics of the deposition, no matter whether information is av…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t4x2ruk2qmob2b2cx55h4v7r/bafkreifqzrykkdd6elb6rjujn5gl4b22lipxln6rx66v76p2actbaqxr5m@jpeg)
