Tonight, Senate Republicans are charging ahead with their budget proposal.
They’re making clear who matters to them: billionaires and giant corporations.
And who does not: working families.

If any party, including the government, doesn’t like a court order, it can appeal it. It doesn’t get to just disregard it. Vance took an oath to uphold the Constitution, just like Sen. Cotton did. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Opinion | JD Vance is turning his back on his law degree — and his oath of office
The political consequences of these misplaced legal arguments have to be taken seriously. But the legal arguments underpinning them are shamefully unserious.

Not a single Republican senator stood against Gabbard -- ignoring the law requiring the director of national intelligence to have deep national-security experience. She has none. She represents the disastrous rise of misplaced power, and a danger to the United States. www.axios.com/2025/02/10/t...
Tulsi Gabbard's intel chief nomination clears key Senate hurdle

Congress created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and no one — not the President, not Musk, not Vought – can illegally shut down its work.
There is power in fighting back, and we will not let up in Congress, in the courts, or in public until we win this fight.

Elon Musk has shared this fake E! News video on X, which claims USAID has paid millions to Hollywood celebrities to visit Ukraine.
The clip, now community noted, is the work of a well-known Russian disinformation campaign that creates fake videos of news outlets to push anti-Ukrainian narratives.

Others woul pay a penalty (which Hunter already paid on his taxes) and a fine and/or probation. Trump’s conduct, like Nixon’s, abused his power as president and threatened democracy and natl security. Accountability is necessary.

1/Arguing that @joebiden46th.bsky.social should have pardoned Trump to equalize pardoning his son is laughable and wrong. Pardoning Trump would be as bad a mistake as Ford’s pardon of Nixon. Hunter was charged criminally when others doing what he did would not be. It was a political case.

Agree.
“Much as we might be sympathetic to people with continuing alcohol problems, they shouldn’t be at the top of our national-security structure.”
Pete Hegseth was forced to step down from both of the nonprofit advocacy groups that he ran in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct, @janemayer.bsky.social reports.
