Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

Please take the reins and galvanize the people against this coup. Dems need a galvanizing forceful leader with a clear strategy and message.
Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details
Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Trump cutting federal funding for NIH is disastrous for Colorado’s health system.
These cuts would affect @CUAnschutz – one of our community’s largest economic generators – forcing layoffs, reducing access to care, and halting life-saving research for diseases like cancer & Alzheimer’s.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

A lot of Dem incumbents are going to be confused and upset to find their strongest challenger next primary is "anyone but you."
I hope this shakes out to be more progressive, but it doesn't have to. Dem voters will just want anyone who doesn't seem as useless as the potatoes currently in the seats.

the disconnect between elected Dems (business as usual) and the base (boiling mad) is about as big as I've ever seen it
I don't know how this eventually gets resolved but it's not a sustainable equilibrium

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

Trump is following the Orban/Hitler playbook
First, Trump pardons cop beaters and now he’s firing the cops on the beat that protect from fraud, mismanagement, and wrongdoing. Inspectors General uphold accountability and transparency. Trump is playing from the Nixon playbook. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.
