Hey Congress, grow a spine.
Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

Elon Musk and DOGE lied about FEMA giving NYC $59 million to put immigrants in “luxury hotels”
As a result, multiple FEMA employees-labeled as “deep state activists”-lost their jobs
Now Musk’s team appears to have taken $80 million-straight from the City’s bank accounts
How is that not illegal

Making the lives of your voters significantly worse to own the libs
Trump Is Freezing Money for Clean Energy. Republican States Have the Most to Lose.
About 80 percent of manufacturing investments spurred by a Biden-era climate law have flowed to Republican districts. Efforts to stop federal payments are already causing pain.

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.
