Chatted with a young staffer at Todd Young's office today who tried to tell me that release of the Epstein Files was an "executive" issue. Touched a nerve; keep calling! #HoosierSky #epsteinfiles

💯 From the perspective of a former prosecutive who worked on trafficking cases, the loss of this office can only be intended to make it easier for the traffickers. There is literally no rationale for doing this.

Hopefully someone is pointing out that this trick works in both directions, and hopefully our future Dem leaders will have the courage to wield it. Bc we have been mightily failed by current elected representatives.

Cost estimate of the House-passed "Big Beautiful Bill" is out It'd be the largest cut to Medicaid+CHIP and SNAP in history while still increasing deficits by $2.4 trillion due to $3.8 trillion in tax cuts This'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history
snap cuts, growing to 35% by 2034chip and medicaid cuts growing to 12-14% by 2034

Feels like this is appropriate given the biased coverage of Trump that he enjoyed when running. MSM needs to wake up and reckon with the consequences of their “both sides” coverage. Sleepy Joe and Hunter, indeed. But her emails!!!! Still waiting to learn more about the “assassination” attempt.

Thank you for all you are doing! Might be helpful to also educate the broader public about how many FDA positions were actually funded by PDUFA fees, making this DOGE exercise particularly shortsighted.

Just so you know what's going on in the House. Hardliners there want to cut $4,000,000,000,000 from the poorest while shoveling trillions to the richest and Senate Republicans just want to cut $1,500,000,000,000 from the poorest while shoveling trillions to the richest.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

I hate you, Democrats. I hate you so, so much. Yes, I hate Trump and Elon and all of the s—t-for-brains voters out there who were like DURRR THESE FELLAS ARE JUST WHAT WE NEED TO CLEAN UP WASHINGTON DURRR. But I reserve a special place in my black heart for you, Democrats. You are the representational equivalent of being put on hold by customer service. All you do is let me down. It’s like being a Browns fan if every time the Browns lost, a Tesla ran over my dog. You guys make voting feel pointless.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Warning: Trump can have his Social Sec administrator purge millions from program without an act of Congress. He will claim people are "frauds." Then it falls on you or family member to make case there is no fraud. But given mass layoffs at Soc Sec Admin no one will respond. That is Trump/Musk plan
