It’s well past time for the Republican Party to speak the truth.

Literally all they’re doing is a private equity play. They need these offices so they’ll have to rent them back putting further strain on the budget and justifying further cuts (while their friends make money on the deal)
NEW: The General Services Administration, staffed at its upper levels by Elon Musk associates, plans to sell 500-plus buildings—some of which house government agencies and the offices of US senators.

This is an attempt to intimidate Judges who are lawfully performing their jobs.

And it should be called out as such.

That's still ethnic cleansing. It's still genocide. It's still a fucking international war crime.

Europe and Ukraine need to exclude the US from any negotiations about Ukraine's future.

The US under Trump is simply a Putin friend & an enemy of Ukraine, Europe and democracy.

CNN: Do you think that calling Elon Musk "a dick" is effective messaging?

Rep. Robert Garcia: "Well, he is a dick."

House Republicans have released their proposed budget.

It’s as bad as I imagined.

It puts a giant bullseye on health care coverage, while giving at least $4 *TRILLION* in tax breaks to billionaires and corporations.

The American people need to know the stakes—and how Democrats are pushing back.
House GOP releases budget calling for trillions in cuts to taxes and spending
The blueprint conflicts with a Senate budget resolution, which doesn't address taxes or the debt ceiling. It also includes less funding than the Senate's for immigration enforcement.

“Go into” doing a lot of work here. Most rapes aren’t good to go into. But the victims options are by definition pretty limited.
REPORTER: Do you view Ukraine as an equal member of this peace process?

TRUMP: Ummmm ... it's an interesting question. I think they have to make peace. That was not a good war to go into.
