Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

The citizenry is watching. The whole damned WORLD is watching.
To the DOJ/FBI who remain,
Your new bosses are going to order you to do unconstitutional things. Unlawful things. Things to achieve their fascist agenda.

It will not work here either.
Proceed accordingly.

Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote.
$2 TRILLION IN CUTS.

Blackmail and extortion. Those are the only words that this action can be construed as, especially after President Musk had originally signaled his own virtue a couple of years back when he "donated" Starlink nodes to Ukraine.
⚡️US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters.
The U.S. first raised the prospect of shutting off Starlink after Zelensky rejected the deal presented on Feb. 12. Starlink terminals are critical in securing Ukraine's battlefield communications.

Fist Pump Boy and a few other Repubs are suddenly worried about massive Medicaid cuts ... because they would impact the Trump voters in their districts.
They don't care about the harm to people. They care about getting reelected.
