Congress needs to audit the White House and cut funding controlled by the president to the bone. What’s the minimum budget required for him to be housed, fed, and staffed to do the basics of the job? That should be his annual budget. Let him ask Congress for more as he needs it.

Republicans spent the past year making choices on war, spending and energy, and voters are now footing the bill. Rather than own it, the party's answer so far has been deflection, denial and AI slop.

I really hope whatever is happening in Russia stays in Russia, because the Trump admin isn’t equipped for a public health emergency. 📌 A worker at an anti-plague research institute in Siberia died after developing pneumonia of unknown origin. Nearly 200 people are reportedly under observation
