Across federal agencies, the Trump administration’s aggressive slash-and-burn approach to federal programs has repeatedly challenged Congress’ power of the purse.
The outcome: Billions in taxpayer dollars have become virtually untraceable.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

When a liar is confronted, how do they act?
Alex Lawson to Rep. Miller-Meeks: Last time you spoke with us you lied to our face and said you wouldn’t vote for Medicaid cuts, but you’ve voted for the largest cuts in the history of the country.
Do you have any comment on the health care that 67,000 people in your district are going to lose?

Interesting that if you shop at Whole Foods, a lot of money is spent making it feel like a place that respects workers and embraces progressive values, but it is not.
Costco just feels like a warehouse but they treat their workers pretty well and has rejected anti-DEI BS
