So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

Under-appreciated problem. Many Repubs have never served in state legislatures, nor were they Hill staffers, so they’ve got zero experience trying to accomplish something. They’re not pissed Trump is taking Congress’ power, because they’ve never exercised it.
Two-thirds of House Republicans and more than a third of those in the Senate have only been on Capitol Hill since Trump won in 2016. They are also more ideologically extreme. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Pay attention to Oklahoma.
Bibles in classrooms isn't the big story.
The same legal teams behind the seeding of Dobbs are driving a case to create religious schools fully funded by the public & they've already petitioned the Supreme Court.
Understandably, everyone was focused on the election.

Teachers can only deduct $250 in school supplies on their taxes, but:
•Bezos can write off his super yacht
•Musk can write off his jet
•Waltons can write off their mansions
Why? B/c millionaires write tax law for billionaires.
We need a Congress for working people—not the 1%

the DOGE agency will not have the authority to reallocate funds (nor would that be constitutional), it is a PR tool to create the impression that government spending is inherently wasteful and build political momentum for spending cuts
Hypothetical. I'm curious what people think. If the DOGE agency worked on the premise that half of all savings in a federal program were distributed as increased benefits to qualified recipients, would you consider the details ?
