Many seniors can’t afford dental care, hearing aids or glasses. I’m proud that all Democrats supported my amendment last night to expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision paid for by cutting prescription drug costs for Medicare in half. No Republicans voted for it.

@schumer.senate.gov is about to knife his own party by voting for cloture today on the CR. @friendsofusaid.bsky.social calls bullshit and we have to wonder: what kompromat did they get on Chuck? Because he sure ain't telling us the truth about his vote. #NotOneVote #saveforeignaid

Chuck Schumer you are about to sell out America to Musk

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Yes a shutdown would have consequences. And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible. They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way. Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

“Speak up, speak out, get in the way. Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.” – John Lewis

Political cartoon. Rep Al Green, D-Texas standing up and pointing his cane yelling "HE DOES NOT HAVE A MANDATE TO CUT MEDICAID!"

In the lower corner are two people hiding behind round signs. One reads "Civility!" and the other says "Did he not get the sign memo?"

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

BY EMAIL
Re: United States v. Eric Adams, 24 Cr. 556 (DEH)
Mr. Bove,
I have received correspondence indicating that I refused your order to move to dismiss the indictment against Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, including the express possibility of reinstatement of the indictment. That is not exactly correct. The U.S.
Attorney, Danielle R. Sassoon, never asked me to file such a motion, and I therefore never had an opportunity to refuse. But I am entirely in agreement with her decision not to do so, for the reasons stated in her February 12, 2025 letter to the Attorney General.
In short, the first justification for the motion-that Damian Williams's role in the case somehow tainted a valid indictment supported by ample evidence, and pursued under four different U.S. attorneys is so weak as to be transparently pretextual. The second justification is worse.
No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives.
There is a tradition in public service of resigning in a last-ditch effort to head off a serious mistake. Some will view the mistake you are committing here in the light of their generally negative views of the new Administration. I do not share those views. I can even understand how a Chief Executive whose background is in business and politics might see the contemplated dismissal-with-leverage as a good, if distasteful, deal. But any assistant U.S. attorney would know much i i red oril, in this ily. wing the perset arthro he Reside is ving to,
give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.
Please consider this my resignation. It has been an honor to serve as a prosecutor in the
Southern District of New York.
Yours truly,
Hagan Scotten
Assistant United States Att…

Hey, NASA Admin Petro how about we take ZERO inspiration from the racists and nazis at DOGE instead?

Quote from email from Acting NASA Administrator Janet Petro from Feb. 7 "Finally, we are a community of innovators. Each and every one of us has felt frustration with bureaucracy or inefficiency with our internal processes at some point in our NASA career. But taking some inspiration from the spirit of the "Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)," let's lean into this opportunity to maximize efficiencies. Let's keep refining our processes and find new ways to work smarter. More to come on how you can let your voice be heard — we do value your input in ensuring we remain effective stewards of taxpayer dollars while growing and evolving together."

My sons' book today had an excerpt about the first woman astronaut, Sally Ride. It said she applied to a program at #NASA that was recruiting women, which eventually led her to become the first American woman in #space. One of the many reasons why #DEI programs matter: they break barriers 👩‍🔬⚛️🧬🍎🧪🥽👩‍🚀👨‍🚀🌌
