A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

Unfuckingbelievable, he STILL thinks "let the fascists do all the horrible things so people will vote Dem in the midterms bc we aren't as bad" is a viable strategy. @schumer.senate.gov is not equipped for this moment in history. This is not 1992, Chuck. This is a coup.
Schumer: "Our plan is to make Donald Trump the quickest lame duck in modern history by showing how bad his policies are ... I believe by 2026, the Republicans in the House and Senate will feel like they are rats on a sinking ship because we have so gone after Trump."

The news media are focusing on how Trump is abusing federal workers and depriving the American people of vital services as he vandalizes government agencies. But the media need to say more often that these actions are ILLEGAL.

Honestly, not my lane as just a layperson, but part of me is hoping that the FAA and all the nation's airports just unilaterally decide to slow down flights, limit the number of arriving and departing flights, to match current Air Traffic Control staffing levels, for safety reasons. It's too much.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.
