When experts warned for months that the NWS “is being destroyed” by Trump’s personnel cuts, Howard Lutnick assured Congress that forecasting won’t be affected. Now TX officials are blaming a faulty forecast by NWS for the deadly impact of a storm. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.

I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Yes, Trump the saboteur's tariffs are bad and doing enormous harm to the country.

But he's not finished. The budget bill he's trying to pass will essentially bankrupt the United States and do an incredible amount of additional and lasting harm.

Thank you Senators for working to take back your authority to authorize tariffs. Just last January,our economy was the envy of the world. 10 weeks after the inauguration, it’s in flames. House of Reps? Are you there? Your turn!!!! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @angiecraigmn.bsky.social
President Trump is igniting an unjustified trade war with Canada which is going to drive up costs for Americans and wreck our economy.

Last night, Senate Democrats and four Republicans passed my bipartisan bill with Tim Keane to reverse these tariffs.
